Goldpfeil Vianney Halter Seven Masters Watch Available On James List
You need to be a pretty serious watch nerd to know who Vianney Halter is, but you need to be an even more serious watch nerd to know what Goldpfeil is. Goldpfeil is a failed brand that sought to create watches made and designed by star independent watch makers who are members of the AHCI. A few models were produced and among them was this one by Vianney Halter. I am not totally sure why Goldpfeil was not a commercial success but the very similar Harry Winston Opus concept did end up being a commercial success.The idea of working together to help out low-resource, high-creativity independent watch makers is sound, but doing it properly is a complex feat. While I don't know exactly what went wrong back in the early 2000's, I can guess it had to do with marketing budgets, production schedules and costs, and sheer awareness.

Pam 233 vs. 111 in terms of comfort?
Hey guys,can you please tell me the difference in feel on the wrist between the 233 and 111?

I have a Deep Blue dive watch from my significant other that I wear casually on a NATO and an Orient Polaris GMT (from my deceased mom) on a blue gator strap. The Orient and Deep Blue are obviously sentimental so I'm not looking to duplicate either of those.Personal Style: I work either from home or at a client site in software, so dressing for work is very casual. I haven't worn a suit in a few years but wear sportcoats with slacks regularly for more dressy occasions. I also live in Southern California, so between my line of work and location it's really casual. I tend to wear what I'd call refined-casual; have been taking style inspiration recently from easy Italian looks-- lots
