Thanks... did you recognise the blue leather folder? It was a SIHH gift from JLC... funny enough I painted it and then JLC released pics of their version on the Reverso Maybe I should have the watch too... hmmm.... Cheers Andrew

Not mine, sadly... ...  

Great watch for travelling and looks great on your wrist too! Cheers Andrew

Travel? Beach?

... surely a Dream!! Thank you for sharing these awesome shots my dear Nicolas!! They make me daydream! Hagwe my dear friend! Abrazos desde las muy frias Pampas! Abel

... I can´t wait to read what you are working with!! Un abrazo afectuoso mi amigo!! Espero ese post!! Abel

Next to the QL Enamel that is. Convincing in concept, form and function. I understand why you want one Best, Martin

The only reason it is not on the top of my Duometre charts is that it is a monopusher chrono. No matter if they are easier or more complicated to build than a two pusher Chronograph, they feel incomplete to me from s functional point of view. (Agreed that... 

Coaxial monopusher makes some sense to me. In this case you gain some aesthetical benefit from the limitation in functionality. But in the end would you agree that a Chronograph is not so much a romantic but more a practical complication? And as such func... 

Beautiful pic 👌🏻. Stunning Sarpaneva

sorry, I'll have to add a watch later. I tie trout flies, I get a kick from tying midges, these are all size 22 on a dime for reference. I've tied smaller but it gets to be a challenge.

...  

All very cool and special

Love the Urwerk especially! Cheers Andrew

Very nice pictures and watches. Moser for me Best, Martin

. . . an obsession. Art ...  

I love the game too but just a casual novice at it

. . . and grown ever since - with a break of thirty years in between. Never had time for the game after leaving for college and working; now, it absorbs much of my free time. Art

and thought The Stones were also the other big obsession? Cheers Andrew

. . . . . .

A such a nice one A beautiful composition Warmest regards, Martin

. . . in a safe deposit box; they were such wonderful companions when I was working and could actually benefit from the complication. Warmest, Art

. . . the shaft. ...  

. . . correlation! ;-)

Love the contrast of the Orange and the blue, very cool!

I love wearing it... cool watch and cool creator. Cheers Andrew

...  

Your hobby is a perfect match with metal bracelet but IMHO it is an even more perfect match to keep exchanging into a different leather strap. It will be even more fun if you share the built component of those bike (SID world Cup?, XX, Enve Carbon?)

I can see why the hobby and Patek don't go together Cheers Andrew

Hereafter some examples of how I blend my passions & hobbies: sometimes pictures are better than a long speech... ...  

I adore your Mercator composition and Voltaire composition

Beautiful photos and pairings! Its just a shame you can't include your camera in the photos.

How dosnt like pens,cufflinks&watches 🤗

At least they won my heart already 😉

Always nice to see that one.

It has been my unreachable grail for 20 years before I get it. I even started with 5125 R the Wempe LE thinking of the 3448 dial design and one day I could make the dream come true... 😀

... hope to get it soon!! I really wish to have one for my collection! Nice to see we share interest in watches and fountain pens! Hagwe! Abel

Namiki is a fascinating brand, the more you know about it, the more you love it

... I´m a fan of Japanese fountain pens and enjoy so much writing with them. Namiki is one of my favorite Japanese brands. All the best, Abel

The VC's - the Mercator, and the LE Patrimony - speak particularly to me.

you definitely chose not to waste your tine with middle class watches. Brilliant photos of well curated collection. The „ Wonder watch“ is a superb example of how much there is to learn from fellow PuristS I had no idea until Croatia. Warmest regards, Mar... 

Paintings and watches both captivating

Just one of my daily drive HANWE ...  

but German precision together with Patek... nice picture! Cheers Andrew

Really? Another wristshot? On the way to school, lovey dovey with daddy. Cold brew tasting with Horogal. Roger Smith with England 1966 World Cup Umbro jersey Peter Speake Marin with England 2002 World Cup Korea/Japan cap Best, Horo ...  

best, Horo

time goes past so quickly... luckily you have some wonderful pieces to enjoy while watching Horoboy and Horogal grow up. Cheers Andrew

When i first met you in London, my eldest was around her age! Hope all is well mate, regards to Fiona and the kids. Best, Horo

Must catch up with you soon and head over to your corner of the world... rather overdue! Best Andrew

And stunning RS rhaaaa !

beautiful daughter and awesome watches

in my books, the Peter Speake Marin is equally awesome. Best, Horo

What breed is the puppy... looks like some kind of mountain dog? Love the show of the speedy with the knife... stunning and a winner I am sure! Cheers Andrew

Kisses to your pups! Daos

Marcus, You could consider a Swedish knife - watch combo... Regards, MTF GøS Winter Nights for PuristS GøS Knife ...  

... is dead gorgeous! Btw, this knife is in fact Swedish, or better: The reindeer bone handles are made and decorated by a Laponian artist, but since the Sami people never had a pocket knife tradition, the knife used is from Pakistan. Marcus ...  

I still remember your recent post about brutal heavy duty test and I found it so cute 😀

all hobbies combine with watches... for sport...I'm always watchless. But then... I like Modern Art (as an observer) I don't have any painting talent myself, but somehow, the next generation is doing better My daughters painting. What else? I enjoy readin...  

Great set of pics and really nice combinations. Cheers Andrew

Reading and Music... tow wonderful hobbies or passion! They go nicely with watches... to check the hours of joy with them! Hagwe my dear friend!! Abel

The hands (esp the orange hand) are so darn cool

under UV light, the orange hand glows! Super cool. Problem is I cannot capture it with a camera.

Your daughter is a very talented artist. The Railtimer is the most awesome

For me the one hobby that currently trumps all other hobbies. And the kind that’s rarely ‘static’ ...  

but for sure nothing better in life Especially when paired with the P15!!! Cheers Andrew

And very much in the on our toes phase as well Thanks a lot Andrew!

But actually I don't call that a hobby, more love and passion

While hobbies also involve passion, it’s nowhere near the same level Thanks Mike!

Thanks a lot CC!

...  

Ticks all boxes for me! Cheers Andrew

But always happy to taste a sample Joe Tried willie harcourt ooze brand which I liked J

I'm a fan of Pralus as well, in particular their Melissa dark milk chocolate. And that Patek looks equally yummy

......i am mainly a Madagascar guy...and 75% usually hits the spot. But with Pralus, its the Venezuala that works for me. If you don't know about it, try looking at the Chocolate Trading Company.... Best Joe

Hi All Cheers JML ...

Does it double for weightlifting and buoyancy aid too Cheers Andrew

you must have good eyesight or a great magnifying glass to work on those! Cheers Andrew

No need to get the three of them... ...  

the set is stunning. Did you see them in metal? Any owner in Purists?

especially the first shot and nice lighting too. Cheers Andrew

is not really a hobby but more like a second job. The difference being that you can put a hobby aside when you feel like it. The watches I am wearing for that "hobby" are those that are on my wrist at the moment we are summoned into service. For drills mo...  

Such a cool watch and very photogenic too! Cheers Andrew

Great submission as every week.

Thanks for the pens pics that was a kind hello to mine 😉 And your 6238 is sublime 👍😍

taking pictures of my watches HAGWE! ...

. . . more than a few hours drive from home. Unless there's a good reason . . . like a Purists gathering. Or a Stones show. United Center, Chicago '98 Yup, I was there. Flew in without tickets for the concert; ran into two ladies at a bar a few miles from... 

🤔 MTF

. . . but the three Chicago-ettes gave us a ride to the United Center. Sometimes, life deals you an inside straight.

Dark chocolate is the poison of choice for me. I know many people are into wine and whiskey, but the advantage chocolate has is that I can indulge in chocolate during work, and still continue functioning Plus dark chocolate has been shown to reduce the ri...  

. . . but then, there's a box of dates on my desk, and I've just had two.

It's definitely a hobby! Fortunately cheaper than watches though ;-)

trust me it's easier to convince my wife that "it's just another chocolate shipment, darling" }

...she would open the parcel immediately ! She’s crazy addicted to chocolate ! 🤣

(pssst, I really like Dandelion chocolate too haha!)

...  

To me it used to be a hobby and loved it... now I live in planes for work so no longer as glamorous... Cheers Andrew

Need deeper pockets but Seikos can be fun. Such craftsmanship but looked like a pain in the arse to ride. Wind in the hair and feeling the speed at 80 km/h or blink and your doing 250+ in a gt2rs. ...  

But a v12 E-type wasnt that bad either among many others.

If a brought a better camera i have i might have tried to shoot more photos. With rain in the morning and risk for more i just brought my mobile and took a few.

Full throttle is the only way to go! Cheers Andrew

Suffice to say, if it involves water, family & friends, then it qualifies as a hobby, oh and wine too ;-) HAGWE All, Cheers, Tim ...  

Nice UN... not often seen on a bracelet as I have always seen on rubber... very cool! Cheers Andrew PS. Saw your jetted over to home the other week, sorry to have missed you but was as normal going the other way! One day we will catch up for a beer and bi... 

3 nights to see the parents and my sister who was there from Capetown. Fab weather and too short, but Jersey at its best. Next year we’ll be there in Aug. for 2 weeks. Hope you might be there then! Cheers, Tim

That blue with the red color accents really pops ! Cheers & Best ! hs.

Travel, photography, mezcal, and hanging out with friends, are basically my hobbies. Happy weekend to all, Alex ...  

Hopefully soon we can share a few drinks together. Un abrazo, Alex

nice shot and composition! Cheers Andrew
