Some lovely watches on display.
This is my favourite, produced by the small Swiss company Jaquet Droz.
My farther purchased this watch from a spiv in Soho in the mid 60's.

I've never really understood watch collecting.
I bought this watch when I was 16. Aside from the week every ten years that it spends in New York being cleaned, I've worn it every day since.
I can't imagine choosing from multiple watches every day. I mean, I would always have a favorite, and why would I want to wear any watch but that one? Do those of you who collect watches actually wear them all?
[Oh, and by the way... That Jaquet-Droz is beautiful, H.moon]
