WELCOME TO THE WATCH JOURNEY
Please follow me while I evolve and learn in this lifelong hobby. My watch collection has been changing together as my tastes vary in brands, complications, price range and aesthetics. If watches are an expression of one’s personality, tastes and in essence, one’s DNA, then my fascination for watches will never end.

IN THEORY, THE WATCH BUBBLE CRAZE SHOULD BURST, BUT WILL IT?
If, and only if, some watch models are considered artwork, then the bubble will likely never burst. The market may correct itself just like art, but masterpieces will always remain in a museum at an infinite and unobtainable price for people to view and never purchase.
KURONO MORI – NEW WATCH ACQUISITION, MY FIRST INDIE
The watch, like a force of nature, is as delicate as it is powerful. It has been clearly designed from an artist’s sensibility, from an artist’s eye.

Mr. Stern, can you grant me any stainless steel Nautilus for being so gutsy leaping forward with untrammelled folly?
Getting an authoritative education on watches – relevant literature (PART 3)
I wouldn’t say the book flows like a novel but for Patek collectors and enthusiasts it is a well suited reference when they need factual information about a particular watch.
PREDICTIONS FOR THE NEW NAUTILUS: 5711 officially vintage!
For the new 5711, I don’t want to be blown away 180 degrees, I want small and perhaps subtle evolutionary improvements. I will harbour resentment if Patek modifies too much too soon.
Why don’t the maisons ever mention the mass of their watches in the specifications?
In this day of information overload, it is so archaic that watch companies mention watchmaker’s specifications that no one really cares about but fail to mention what is important for watch wearers who make up most of the watch community.
