The purpose of this section is to present rare pieces which I have encountered during my collection lifehood. I may have discovered some on the internet, at watch fairs or sometimes at friends' wrists. Thus, this page is always under construction. I do not intend to show or describe an exhaustive list of rare pieces. Instead, I simply want to present watches which are of some interest to me because of their design, their rare hidden calibers, or their historical background.Please note that none of the watches featured in this section are mine, or nor are they for sale. I will not know either where to get them if requested.
ENJOY!
