My Deep Love watches
Nice and meaningful theme my friend
Sharing some deep love pieces in my collection here. They all have a special place in my heart. Strangely non of the hype pieces in my collection tug at my heart strings as much. Those I love deeply are the "less popular" watches lol.
Cheers

For two of my deep loves, I want to see them everyday, even when they are not on my wrist
The Patek Philippe Calatrava 5212A weekly calendar introduced in the Basel World 2019 is a love at the first sight for me. I was extremely lucky to get it and I commissioned an artwork for it so I may see it everyday on the wall. This artwork has become a...
Hello Sfwatchlover! Great post! Two wonderful watches which brings you Deep Love and what a wonderful complement those pictures which show them in all their glory.
They are superb works of art which as you well say allow you to enjoy your watches every day even without actually wearing them. I´m very fond of F.P. Journe watches and their strong personality of design. The 5212A Calatrava is breathtaking. By coinciden...
Dear Abel, thank you very much for your compliments, which made me very proud:)

... it´s a real beauty I know well. A few years ago I was very near to buy it but... a very good friend of mine also had seen it in the same shop and phoned me to ask my opinion whether he should buy it or not. As he is a very good friend of mine I said: ...
Thks dear Abel! In fact I did not plan to buy..
the JLC and the way I bought it was kinda similar to your story……I started learning about watches from my boss/mentor (in my earlier company) and now a friend, who has an impeccable collection. One day after lunch, he suggested to visit a shop to “look se...
Wow! Interesting story!! Similar to mine. You did well in buying that Sun Moon. I regret I had no chance to get this so beautiful version of Reverso myself.
You did well listening the advice (and pressure! Lol!) of your boss! Keep enjoying this beauty so much! Cheers! Abel
When it comes to matters of the heart, there’s only one “Deep Love”

Grest theme ...but hard to choose
For the longest time it was my 1970 Speedmaster - a watch I saved for and bought on my 17th birthday. Wore it exclusively the next ten years. Then came my love for JLC, initially a master control in steel, then one in gold. Until this one swept me away - ...
Hello th.gr.ga! Thanks a lot for your participation. Reverso and Cartier Tonneau, two classics. Two beautiful classics. I can well understand you adore these watches with their timeless design.
I love both brands and enjoy several watches of their collections too. Nice to know the Boutique was helpful in dealing with your glass chipping on your Cartier. Keep enjoying your deep love watches so much! Hagwe! Abel
Thank you Nico
...a usual suspect from me as well, but I am afraid my collection is not as expensive as yours 😆. I am the wrong kind of lawyer 🤣

This watch continues to haunt me!!
While I have different depths of passion for specific watches in the collection, this timepiece really shook me when it was announced and released at SIHH 2017. This was AP's first full ceramic case and bracelet model, and I was thrilled it was with a per...
Hello Peter! Marvelous AP Perpetual Calendar you share here and interesting to read about your Deep Love relation with this beautiful timepiece.
Also interesting to read that in spite the constant wearing of this piece, the ceramic construction of case and bracelet seems to be "scar proof" and show it in as new condition. Keep enjoying and loving so much Peter and have a nice Sunday! Cheers! Abel
