Hands-on with the Detroit Watch Company Aviator
I'd been anticipating the package from Detroit for a couple of months. Watch company? Detroit? At this point, you might think you know what watch company I'm going to write about.

My one and only Patek. Has to be 5980 :)Thanks to Jacob Kramer aka deep house to make this happened.

New exclusive Patek Philippe
When I was at my local AD to pick up the latest Rolex Magazine Issue #2, they graciously allowed me to pre-view the installation of their new Patek boutique. There was the hint of a private invitation Galla evening, once the work is complete. Winston Sent from my iPhone 6
