Me [info about]

about me

Born in a beautiful, history-rich and rough mountain region right at the heart of the old continent, I am middle age admirer of watches, fine engineering and ingenious inventions of which watch movements are a prime example. This page is highly personal and at the beginning of it was a simple attempt to keep record of watches I owned... lest I forget.


PHOTOS AND DETAILS OF MY WATCHES

The list of watches are models I owned or own. Click on the TITLE / WATCH NAME to open the page with more details, photos and specs - where available. Most photos are my own or from the seller I bought it from. Few stock photos used where I do not have own photos.
