Greubel Forsey & Philippe Dufour Present Le Garde Temps Naissance d��Une Montre Project
The centuries-old traditions and?know-how in?horology, as awe-inspiring, interesting, and technically unique as they may be, are feared to be soon forgotten, as?the newer generation �C the much needed "fresh blood" �C is hardly motivated to consider taking the long road that leads to them understanding, practicing, and hence, preserving these?invaluable assets. It is with this reason in mind that Greubel Forsey and Philippe Dufour conceived the?Le Garde Temps Naissance d'Une Montre project that was officially launched in 2012?�C?the fruit of an "obsessional desire to research, record, and transmit the techniques involved in traditional handmade watchmaking."Images courtesy of Le Garde TempsWe may as well stop right here for a moment. Stephen Forsey, Robert Greubel, and Philippe Dufour: these three watchmakers surely need no introduction to most hardcore watch enthusiasts out there. The?former two are primarily known for their unique, highly complicated and exceptionally finished creations

Chronomat with B01 movement.
Just wondering what the Breitling experts here think of the chronomat as a daily wear/beater.

Two unique Speedmaster stories
Happy Speedy Tuesday,Some of you may know of me... My name is Nick - AKA boxandpapers on Instagram. Back in January I launched watchpatina - a website featuring people and their relationship with watches. To date 38 interviews have been conducted - all with original photography of the owners' watches. We've spoken with all levels of watch enthusiasts, including well-known dealers and top collectors, among others... Here's 2 posts about Omega (Speedmasters ). Enjoy reading, let us know any feedback you have!

It's Snowtime!...
Adding mine to the mix and before I get berated for not having unsealed it, I've simply not had the time to savour the moment as yet but hopefully I'll get the chance this weekend. For pp5575, you can see my packaging is consistent with yours being a UK watch, my AD confirming what you see is exactly how it was delivered to them from the factory, and yes my papers have also been retained by PP for 2 years but quite frankly I couldn't give a monkeys. The watch is a dream come true for me, I still pinching myself now that I have been lucky enough to have been allocated one.

Newbie here needs intervention
I think I have a problem. I just became a member here last week. It took me all of one day to buy a BLNR from the classified section! I've been into watches a very long time but this is by far the nicest piece I've owned. I'm loving this watch so much that I'm literally obsessing over wanting to acquire more. Somehow having this one on my wrist changed everything. So my question is for those of you that have already been down this road, how do you control yourself from selling everything you own to buy more watches?!?
