00:00If you had to choose a timepiece which you would always put on again and again and again that

00:20timeless watch what would it be for you? I can't answer that's very difficult. Well

00:27I'd absolutely take the IWC Portuguese eternal calendar that won last year because

00:30that actually keeps going on forever so that's the one if you have one watch

00:34forever that's the one you gotta go for. Do you have a favorite? Of course! And how are you gonna tell us?

00:40Surely not! My favorite remains probably the first Vinissimo we crafted the

00:47tourbillon manual winding that's right back in 2014 so years ago and this is a

00:55very simple watch you hardly understand that it's a very very complex watch so

01:02it's pretty low-key at the same time it's rewarding because you know you have

01:08really a treasure on the wrist. Maybe the 1518 from Patek Philippe the one that sold

01:12for 17 million. Best watch for me that I have today is the Gerald Charles remastered

01:19jumping hour. I would put on the perpetual calendar as a complication I found it a

01:24a very romantic complication that continues setting the time for years

01:30decades and potentially centuries ahead. I believe it would be the happiest watch

01:36that I have yeah when I have signed over like almost three years ago. That would be

01:44the Piaget Andy Warhol with the tiger high dial. To me it's the watch that really

01:48stands out yet tells an amazing story not only in American art history if you like

01:56but also in Swiss watchmaking from one of the very finest Piaget.
