Virtual Ideas "Big Time" Watch Concept
Allow me to present you with another watch concept from Switzerland based Virtual Ideas, a design firm that creates watches for established watch companies (a lot of the time large companies rely on smaller, independent design firms when it comes to watch design. They then figure out how to produce it, market it, and then sell it). The first concept I shared with you (a while back) was the Pink Panther watch concept. The concept watch here is called "Big Time." You can see the thematic similarity to their previous concept design.Big Time is a larger, square shaped watch with dimensions that should be in the 50mm wide and 45mm tall range. The dial itself is perfectly square, but as you can see there is an interesting rubber guard/bumper around the crown. The case is curved a bit and looks nice in rose gold. You can see the sharp faceting around the edges. Lugs are set widely apart but cut short and sharp for a technical feel. They also help preserve the angularity of the design. You see

The end of the journey!
Been through a crazy couple of years, owned and sold a bunch of watches, moved to AP but still felt restless. After some agonizing about it, decided to sell everything (almost down to my soul) and consolidate into what a friend called a pinnacle piece ... one that can be a faithful companion for many many years while keeping me a one watch guy, which has been my goal for a while. Without further ado, here she is. Not much to say about her that hasn't been said already. I am just very very happy!And a blurry mirror shot for a better perspective ...

My Patek Dilemma
I was about to pull the trigger on a Vacheron Overseas.. I'd been also looking at a Deep Sea Rolex.. I love both watches. I love both brands.. to call them brands is a bit underwhelming, for what they are, to me. I have concluded I should just get a Patek Aquanaut or Nautilus and be done with the searching. I have also looked at my collection.. Jaeger REverso, Rolex Explorer 1, Rolex SubC 2-tone, PAnerai GMT, Vacheron Historique.. I love and adore each piece for what it is, what it represents, but I wish I'd not have bought the Panerai, at times, and wish maybe I'd have foregone other pieces.. My dilemma has been every year or 3.. I buy a nice watch.. what I Should have been doing was buying 1 patek over a 5-year period.. So what I Am going to do is starting saving monthly funds.. diverting into an account, not kidding. I am going to amass enough for a used Patek sports watch.. over time.. it might take 5 years, but I will do it. I welcome thoughts about how you all found the disciplin
