The really satisfying aspect of this lineup for me is that it is a reflection of connoisseurship, patience and persistence. There is beauty in that beyond the appeal of each individual piece. It makes me appreciate the spirit of the man behind it.

Sadly for you, I am an administrator on this site.
You are about to be barred.

It's my ball. And am taking it home. We are not playing anymore😲

Jack - awesome post and thanks for taking the time to do so! Your collection is quite possibly my favorite to follow (and follow CLOSELY) and shares a lot of commonality with my own (except wayyyy more awesome).

Keep up the good work. I'm sure you look down at it sometimes and say "well, what now?" Wherever it takes you, I'm sure it'll be awesome!

Cheers,
Rob

Very very beautiful collection. I truly enjoy seeing the watches that start everyone's obsession. You have helped me set a few goals(12 years down the line) for myself now

Of all the sub watch forums here, Universal Geneve will always have a special place in my heart; with their historical contribution in the horological world.

Having said that, I actually started with Seikos, then moved on to Omegas. I was big on Omegas then.

When I decided that I'm so bored of the speed masters, (though the Ed white or the 2915 would be in my TOP list), I decided to move on to different watch brands as I believe that every maker has their prime pieces. So I tend not to stick to just a single brand.
What is that gold jump hour Wittnauer?

Thanks for sharing. I love it when we see full collections. And man, there's nothing to hide here. Beautiful. Really, really great watches. You should be proud to show this off. It takes patience and keen eye to accumulate this collection.

Love that Tudor!

No Speedies?
Kinda bored with speedies, perhaps an ed white or a 2915 will change my mind!

Thanks Lou.

The collection did took me a long time, and a lot of effort to amass. And above all, I was lucky and have friends that helped me in this madness.

Indeed Rob. We do share much similar taste and I was long aware of that.

And what's now? Still tons out there for me to chase. There's just no end game pieces in this journey. We all know that. 😉

Thanks for the kid words buddy.

That's not a jump hour. In that photo, all of them are rare true mechanical retrograde watches.
