Some pretty heavy hitters showed up last night, including an A.Lange & Sohne Flyback Chrono, Ulysse Nardin "Freak" and a Patek Phillipe World Time. This collage doesn't do these watches justice, especially the movement photo of the A.Lange & Sohne which is an absolute sight to behold.  |

Wow. There’s enough there to trade for a couple sports cars. I love Lange and that Patek world time chrono is very nice in blue.
And I have only seen a couple freaks in person. Worth looking up. That’s Ulysse Nardin putting the movement on the hands essentially.

Well I can't take credit for bring the crew together since it was the coordinator of our local RedBar chapter who arranged it. You might want to see if there's a local RedBar group in yer neck of the woods. Here's a couple of case back shots for you;   |

That’s Ulysse Nardin putting the movement on the hands essentially. Funny enough, I was thinking of the same thing. Beaucoup bucks for that trio fer sure. I just found it fascinating to listen to the owners talk with such passion as the rest of us less well healed collectors do. It was great experience. |

You might want to see if there's a local RedBar group in yer neck of the woods. Here's a couple of case back shots for you; You get 100% credit for bringing the rest of us in! Thanks for the additional shots, those are just amazing. I know I'd feel pretty small in that crowd. I'd pipe up with, "Hey check out this beat up $160 USD watch I saved from the ocean, I overspent by $0.12 not buying new" and they'd probably look at me like, "The bar tab is double that son, maybe ask your mom for more allowance?"  |

These meet ups are a lot of fun and in spite of what is on display, there is little or no pretense present. Mind you, I did find some comfort in the fact that I was breathing the same air  |

For a while we had a local Lange dealer close to me - and I got to handle, play with and pretend to own many. Some of their Moonphases are amazing - the jumping hour Zeitwerk is a marvel to play with, and actually nearly all of their watches are amazing. Fun fact - each new watch they build, then tear down then build back - so they have built it twice when new: thetruthaboutwatches.com/2020/06/a-lange-sohne-builds-the-same-watch-twice/ |
