RG Insight. 

Do you go through someone to get your indy pieces?   

Most independent watches I go directly to the watchmaker to place order. The issue is the wait and availability. The Voutilainen Vingt-8 has a wait of 5 years when I placed the deposit. A few pieces I bought from AD. Some like Akrivia is unobtainable.

But because of this hobby, I travel to the French speaking side of Switzerland (Geneva, Neuchâtel, Lausanne, St Croix, etc) quite regularly.

Wonderful to be able to experience a different part of the world for a hobby

Next year I will be heading there 2-3 times to collect some special watches.

The artisanal chocolate there is nice, and this is coming from someone who doesn't eat chocolate here in Singapore. 

Squeeze another one before the ban.

Enjoy and safe travels

I'm not adding Patek or Rolex anymore. Now into artisanal independent watches. I aim to have the best artisanal independent collection by 2028. Here is another before I get the ban.

 

Got any Sartory Billard? Been looking at theirs recently

Post a wrist shot. It's not so much what watch you are wearing but 98% of accounts here are pap IB clones and pap influencers. All our wrists are unique due to hair, moles and colours and a wrist shot goes a long way to identify your profile.
