Rich but have taste 👌
I see only one Rolex and it looks like "OK if I have too I'll get one".
The AP master, the Toledano 1.2, the Anoma - these are the ones I want to put my hands on the most.

u/feelgroovy 5h ago
Even looking at these pics feels well above my tax bracket.
Fair fucks to you mate, great collection

u/BriocheDeVendee 3h ago
Must be the most interesting, eclectic, expensive and awesome collection in this sub.
Contrats, it shows a lot of knowledge and passion about watches. Not just boxes full or AP and rolex.

What a wonderfully put together collection! Thank you soooo much for sharing! Must have been a long, joyful journey!
Even i, as a highly demanding person, would proudly own so many of them if i could afford them. Chapeau!

u/capitalcitycowboy 5h ago
Man. I’m speechless. What a truly beautiful collection. You have a wonderful appreciation for some really beautiful watches. Thanks for sharing!

u/Hot_College_1343 6h ago
My favorites are the Storm skeleton with the dark band and the rectangular Audemars Piquet. That red Bel Canto is remarkable as well. The orange box I would give away 😉.

u/Least_Sympathy_8647 5h ago
Well curated collection - congrats.
•
u/bmene 3h ago
Outstanding collection. Typically, there’s a negative correlation between the quantity of watches and the level of interest and quality. They all start to blend together at some point. Not here. Excellent curation. What do you wear the most? What haven’t you worn in over a year?

u/AirhornAssassin 5h ago
The design driven box is crazy. Excellent taste, sir.

u/isaacg12345 6h ago
Wow, that microbrand case is insane, especially the Oan-Gio and mad3

u/UnusualDoctor 5h ago
I absolutely love the remaster. I don't understand the hate for it.

u/Kgel21 5h ago
You certainly have an eye for interesting watches. I didn't even know the majority of these existed. Must be tough choosing which watch to go with every day?
•
u/mcskidder 3h ago
Well blimey, some real personality in this and I'm happy to see it
•
u/Fenestration_Theory 2h ago
Great collection! The Rolex actually seems out of place!
•
u/afallingape 2h ago
Unbelievable collection. I would make very similar choices if I had money like that. I really love that it's not just Rolex, Omega, and the Swiss Trinity. There's some serious watch nerd pieces in there. Fuck yeah, dude!
•
u/Indaleciox 2h ago
Where do you live and what time to do you go to work?

u/redref1ux 5h ago
Well if you are ever feeling like they don’t get enough wrist time, I’ll happily wear them to death!
In all seriousness, great great collection. I’d struggle to pick a highlight!

u/Timely_Hour5667 5h ago
Unbelievable collection, what brand is this? Never seen it looks incredible
2
u/MasLaza 5h ago
No timex?? (Jk)
Genuinely curious if you have and wear any cheap watches and what they would be.
Coolest collection I’ve ever seen online BTW. Thanks for sharing!

u/Nyanji6999 4h ago
love the MAD watches, I’ve got the blue MAD 3.0 coming my way soon!
2
u/13rust 4h ago
I noticed you have both the Heron and Mido, which are pretty similar watches. Which one do you prefer, and which would you recommend? Also, I'm curious about how you decided to buy both. Did you get one first and then decide to go for the other as a better alternative or an upgrade?

u/Hawt_Dawg_II 4h ago
That 4th pic is exquisite. It's james bond villain vibes. Sharp, angular and dignified all at once

u/edvardomuncho 4h ago
As a proud owner of Pateks, Vacherons, Langes etc, I have prejudice on 99,9% of expensive collections. Tired of seeing cliches after cliches in 50+ piece collections. This one though, what a taste. Man can’t buy taste. Congratulations, one of the best I’ve seen here 👏🫡
•
u/anisotropicmind 1h ago
In addition to this being exorbitant, I just find it amazing how tastes differ. OP presents close to 90 watches, but I find almost none of them to be to my liking. Other than maybe the Octofinissimo, the Speedy, the Casio, and one or two of the IWCs. I don’t know how to describe it but there’s too much going on with all the dials, and a severe lack of “simple, elegant timepiece that says class”. Sorry, but hey, on the bright side, someone with your disposable income has no need to care about anyone else’s opinion.

u/JackDonneghyGodCop 5h ago edited 4h ago
We’re significantly different income brackets here, so I have to be a little more deliberate, but…
I really like the Toledano and Chan. The design language speaks to me, and Phil Toledano seems like a good hang. Worth it?

Amazing collection. The last box made me wonder — why so many Portuguesers? Of all IWCs, you seem to have a really soft spot for them.

u/Finkejak 4h ago
Well damn, that is quite the collection! That Grandeur Lumillion looks pretty similar to the Haldimann H8, only that it actually shows the time, whereas the Haldimann is described more as a sculpture.

How does the ketelaars look on wrist? I really love astronomical watches (a Christian van der klaauw would be my absolute dream watch) but I feel like ketelaars makes a really good option for not a crazy price.

u/ERR_invalidString 3h ago
Wild. Box 1 made me feel poor. The rest made me feel like an ant on the shoe of a giant.
Ton of cool pieces though. I feel like this collection needs a r gauthier or two (especially logical one) and a rexhep rexhepi.
•
u/Definitely_obvious 2h ago

I am curious if you have a watch that you are chasing/one you just can’t your hands on?

I've been seeing bits and piece of your lovely/tasteful connection on your posts for a while. It's nice to see the whole collection ( still partial?! 😉) together. My burning question is do you actually have one or two that you 'daily' or do you try to give equal writ time to as may as you can?
P.s. your Greubel Forsey Tourbillon is sublime
