Absolutely Amazing . . . Thanks, Chris!!
In Response To: Best of 2014 ()

This is absolutely amazing -- the watches, the watch room and the adjacent library!!

Over the years, you have shown us so many of your fantastic watches. But it is amazing to see where they live. Yes, this is the dream for so many collectors . . . a dedicated space to display the watches and have all the other "junk" that we enjoy so much, easily at hand.

Well done and we hope that you will add many interesting watches to your collection in 2015!!

: Looking back at the year that passed, I guess I will have to
: deviate from the normal watch acquisitions. I did not go as
: crazy with vintage Heuers in 2014 compared to the previous years
: except for a Carrera 2447T.

:
:

: In fact, I've had to let go of some to make room for a few pieces
: with the normal seller's remorse feeling (Autavia KAF and 11630P
: and GMT) after, like this

:
:

: I did land a nice straight hand Explorer Mk1 early this year and a
: few other pieces

:
:

: But my crown jewel for this year would have to be this: my
: own watch room
. Inconspicuously hidden in my library is a
: tiny watch room to house my collection. I used to have the
: watchcases stacked against each other.

: Here are some pics of the library:

:
:

: And here's the door leading to the watch room.

:
:

: And the watch room

:
:

:
:
:
:
:
:

: That's a Heuer clock right in the middle

:
:

:
:

:
:

: Watch parts

:
:

: Reading materials and watch reference

:
:

:
:

:
:

: Auction catalogues from the early 2000

:
:

:
:

: And finally the watches that are housed in this room

: Heuers

:
:

:
:

: Rolex

:
:

: Seikos

:
:

:
:

:
:

: A pretty good brand mix: Zenith A386, De Luca, Bulova Marine Star
: to name a few

:
:

: The Valjoux 72 and Universal Geneve Box

:
:

: If you've gotten this far, I guess this is a Best of 2014 and SOTC
: combined. Thank you for patience.

: More power to everyone this 2015. May all your watch dreams come
: true...
