Hello everyone,
Thank you to everyone who's taken the time to share your advice on this forum -- as a prospective first-time UG owner who's been bitten by the Aero-Compax bug, it's been really helpful (and entertaining) to spend some time here. I've ordered a copy of the Sala book, which I hope helps me get a leg up on what's already becoming an absorbing passion.
I came across a couple of mentions on this site of Casowatches, in Napoli, and wondered if anyone had worked with them or had any further thoughts. I've been in touch about a couple of Aero-Compaxes that are unexpectedly expensive -- more than double what I've seen on 1stDibs, or Matthew Bain. I don't know enough about these pieces to know if they have some unique provenance that explains the price, or whether the dealer is simply expensive and that's the end of it. But if anyone has any thoughts, I'd sure love to hear them.
Here's their Universal Genève collection. An inspiring set, to be sure!
