Beautiful simplicity

To appreciate the simple things in life is giving pleasure. I can so honestly appreciate especially one of my many watches. It’s a Tissot from early 50s. Mechanical of course and manual winding. When I bought it couple of years ago it was in not working condition. It needed some attention.

Complete overhaul was needed
Lovely dial with patina

Measuring 35 mm diameter is almost a classic 36 mm size and fits my wrist perfectly. Vintage is in time ⌚ for sure.

Geneva times

13 years ago Tomas had the opportunity to attend at his first Rolex 3 weeks training course. A great and learnful experience for a watchmaker indeed. The next level was three years later and after that a polishing course in 2016.

Amazing! The 28:th October and over 20 degrees

And it was time for level 2 in 2009

You never actually…

This is one of the best and iconic marketing advertising in the watch industry. ” You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely take care of it for the next generation.” A campaign that Patek Philippe used for over 20 years. I just love it!
