Congrats on a well-curated collection! Appreciate the brand diversity and restrained ethos. The Chopard on that interesting bracelet is a stand-out for me.

I like your style, that blue felted box is right up my lane in terms of the choices you made.

Thank you, and that's a tough question! It depends on the season I try to avoid wearing watches on leather straps in the summer, so right now my sports watches are getting a lot of wrist time.

However, the one that stole my heart is Chopard. There is something very special about it. The execution and proportions are flawless.

Beautiful collection!

I notice you have the 1942 Historiques too! I'm wearing that today and that is one of my favourite GADAs!

Do consider adding the Angelus Chronographe Telemetre and we can have 3 identical watches

Thank you my friend! 1942 Historiques was a love at first sight when I saw it, it's gorgeous all around.

As for Angelus, I was VERY close to pulling the trigger on their Instrument de Vitesse reference (absolutely love the look of the black-dial version), but after reading about some shortcuts they decided to take on the A5000 movement, I decided against it.

Essentially it appears that Angelus kept some movement parts even though they are not actually being utilized. From another collector:

"For this Angelus monopusher, to be clear, they are not using the THA045MC, and they have chosen to only have a 1 min chrono to avoid facing the design challenge of cramped dials. Note, Massena’s sympathetic reboot of the ’63 'Medical' cleverly included the 30s register. But, both these retain visible vestigial parts; e.g. minute reset hammer, minute wheel bridge and jewel, intermediate wheel etc. Shame."
