A great gift from a friend

This week was full of surprises.... and out of the blue a package arrived... with just one note ' THIS BOOK HAD YOUR NAME WRITTEN ALL OVER IT!!!".

And whaooow... what a great gift! A lot of memories. Of my tennis-youth. Full of Agassi shoes, Cross-Trainer, Diadora, Wafle-Trainers...

Thank you W. i am so happy with it!!! Big thanks!

Auction coming up.... Bonhams 9th of June

Another auction coming up. Bonhams in London. Looking nice. Some great watches. And i love the ones with a story. Like the 6034 from Norman Buckley. Here is the story from Bonhams (quote):

The 5513...simple but soooo beautiful

It keeps to be my favorite reference. Reduced to the max. But with the right patina, great case and right inlay.... PURE SEX ON THE WRIST!

Sportsbag

These bags are so much fun! Hard-core material. Cool looks..... and something different then the 'big-fashion-brand' at the gym LOOL. This one will go to a friend, as i already have a couple. I love Comex.

Back to Speedy...

One of the most iconic watches. And my aimed at first mechanical watch about 12 years ago. I did choose different then. And kind of regret it. So i am happy to have one in my collection again. Simple.... clean tritium. Great watches they are.

Dr. Phil...please come to the rescue!!!!!

Ohhhhhhhh no....... i looked at my wrist and suddenly... the second hand was loose! Ohhhh no...... Emergency trip to this special Dr. of Watchpassion.

Dr. PHILipp did a great job. Patient saved!!!! whoooooooaaaa alive and kicking again! And was great and special to see the dial without #19.

Thanks my friend!!!

More brown ... more sun!

I got lucky this week. A fantastic 1675 tropical dial GMT. A 1967 watch with the typical shape of the crown-guards. The case has seen some polish but still very nice. But the dial is such a nice brown. Changing colour from deep dark brown to a real great warm chocolate. Changing the angle is magical.

Cooool book

As designer, vintage lover and book fetishist this one is one i want to share with you. A cool book about graphic design of vintage race cars.

I only need a brownish inlay.... help....

Have a great weekend to you all.... i will start it in the big hope to find a real nice brownish faded fat-font inlay sooooon. I will even beg for it ;-)))

So if you can help me to get one..... pleeeeaaaaasssseeee! ;-)

Enjoy the spring.

Some friends over

Well last week we had a little meeting with some friends. Just a small group of friends who wanted to show each other some of the new additions to their collection. And as always a big party of passion with those guys. And the best in the group.... sharing without any arrogance, envy or focus on value. Just pure passion and great guys. Thanks!
