State of the Collection: 2023

After a 2-year hiatus, it's time again to have a State of the Collection ... the change was been both gradual and dramatic....

[@jeffreyblue627]

Congratulations on a stunning and ever growing collection. My wife decreed a halt to mine, but I’m still grateful for your videos over the years that turned me on to Journe, Gronefeld, Czapek and others. Thanks to your channel I learned when to move quickly and made very few mistakes. Bravo to a marvelous collection Bill. 🥂

[@watchartsci]

Thanks Jeffrey. I need to start culling my collection of some great watches that I just don't wear anymore. Take care, Bill

[@ratnamaravind]

You are a true watch connoisseur, and you are so down to earth! Pleasure watching your videos...so is so much learning packed in them!😊

[@watchartsci]

Hey Aravind, thanks man! Take care, Bill

My pleasure James! Take care, Bill

[@eurovnik]

I loved this. It's so refreshingly different from most of the rest of KZbin watch channels with their obsession with hype watches and vulgar "flexing". Would I be right to say that a lot of your watches have elements of very classical and very modern design combined in a single watch? More power to your elbow!

[@watchartsci]

Eurovnik, thanks man! Take care, Bill

[@TimG--]

Wow ! Great collection !! Lots of watches. The FP Journe CS my favorite! The service is going to be expensive -$2,000 to $3,000. Thank you for the content. Getting only one watch this year. I just ordered it - - LF ORIGIN w micro wablue dial , Geneva stripes in white gold. Still only 5 watches. Best Bill

[@watchartsci]

Tim, you know as well as I that if you cannot afford the service, you can't afford the watch. Take care, Bill😉

[@Nobiggiesal]

What an amazing collection Bill! You’ve procured many marvelous time-pieces. Congratulations and appreciate you sharing with us all!

[@watchartsci]

My pleasure, Big Sal! Take care Bill

[@lemmontree1]

Wow! That is without a doubt the most interesting collection I have seen. I'd probably only wear the VC 1921 out of these, but I can clearly see what you were going for. Well done! Enjoy them all!

[@watchartsci]

Lemon Tree ... you'd love to wear the Lyrique Étude N°1, FP Journe Chronomete Souvrain, H. Moser Endeavour, Urban Jürgensen Jules, Lang & Heyne Friedrich II ... and for travel, the Parmigiani Fleurier Hemisphere... actually all of them are fun to wear and the '21. Take care, Bill

[@Snorkelsnot]

Hi Bill, Your watches are elegant inside and out. My favorite is your Van Cleef & Arpel Heur ice & heur d’ ailleur because it is by far the best looking jumping hours, repeating minutes and dual time is the icing on the petit four!

[@watchartsci]

Snorkels, the VC&A is among my favorites too! One of the few full movements by Jean-Marc Wiederrecht. Take care, Bill

Glad you enjoyed it Bill! Take care,...another Bill

[@peteranders461]

What a great diversified collection! I especially enjoyed the timepieces from Bovet and FPJourne. No Rolex and Omega I noted. My collection consists mainly of Rolexes (4 different models), Omegas and Breitlings. Now wanting to explore more classical looks and different complications: Breguet, Bovet, Ulysse Nardin,… I have not had the time to really look for a moonphase but will do in a few months. Great channel as always!

[@watchartsci]

As long as you enjoy your watches, it doesn't matter what you collect Peter... but I do believe that diversity and exploration broadens the watch collector's enjoyment. Take care, Bill

A wonderful collection. Your channel is so much better in content and style than many other watch appreciation KZbin channels. Can't figure why you don't have many more subscribers. I suppose loud and full of 'personality' is more popular. Keep on keeping on and thank you.

Congrats on your collection Bill! I kick myself for not getting an FP Journe when they were still semi-affordable... I love the research and stories that go into each of your purchases. Fantastic, eclectic, and personal collection :).

[@watchartsci]

We all kick ourselves for missed opportunities. I know a guy who owned a FPJ, sold it shortly after he bought it and didn't get to see it soar 500% ... I got lucky; missed out on others, Paul. Take care, Bill

[@2manysigns]

It's kind of interesting just now , enjoying your video here on your collection to see your bespoke watch at the end strike me as maybe my favorite to the eye . Point is I got that sense like , " Oooooo " , just before being reminded that it was your clubs concept . Your collaboration was a success in my opinion . A simply dazzling design . No wonder you are soo jazzed by it !

Hi Bill. That is one amazing collection. The Seagull Perpetual is a surprise addition. In particular, the Parmigiani Kalpa and Harry Winston are pure eye candy.. And, who could forget the Dandy lol.

[@CJB420]

8:45 The words "grand feu" are used for enamel dials. This is the most elaborate technique for making enamel dials. I think you mean the hands are "heat blued" instead of chemically blued, which is cheaper. What a collection, congrats. Kind regards from Switzerland, Cyrill

[@dgb6355]

What a stunning collection Bill, 28 watches if I am not mistaken. Yeah, I think you will need to reduce the number a bit as you will have some of them with very little time on your wrist. Very hard to say which one needs to go as they all are very nice. For me the sweet spot is 10 watches, (as I have a watch box with 10 slots). So either your reduce your watches or you buy another watch box 😅. Thanks for sharing

[@watchartsci]

I've had no luck finding the 'sweet spot' in size, DG ... just cull those not in use. Take care, Bill

I know nothing about watches, but I've found myself increasingly drawn lately to Luxury, Vintage watch videos. I absolutely loved at 8:18 .......A $200 watch. LOL! Fantastic. Just wonderful that a $200 watch can be in a collection right next to a F.P.Journe Chronometre à Resonance......SIMPLY because you like it. What else matters?

[@michaelkalb2896]

A well curated collection! I must admit, I was surprised to see the Bovet Mono-Rattrapante in your collection. My impression had been you tended to avoid Chronographs and the likes. But if you were to have one in the collection, I am not surprised to see it be a Bovet! And one that you seemed to have found under very unique circumstances!

[@watchartsci]

Hi Michael, yes, I am no chronograph fan. Maybe an AgenGraphe, but even that would require me to think twice. Take care, Bill

That's a lot of synthetic sapphire and many proprietary lubricants for someone afraid of Silicon. I hope none of those parts are made with MEMS and would be hard to replace without modern production capability.

[@watchartsci]

Mr CasiOak... hey, all of the other components you mentioned are fine. Silicon hairsprings have huge advantages ... non-magnetic, maintain their shape better in heat and cold ... in most cases probably a more accurate watch. Most silicon hairsprings are too brittle to adjust with a curb regulator, and I got all the silicon I could want in Quartz watches and in smart watches ... and far more accurate than any mechanical watch. If you want watches stuffed with silicon hairsprings, knock yourself out ... I chose otherwise. Take care, Bill

[@mrcasioak1521]

@@watchartsci The freesprung balance wheel can be regulated traditionally, just not with a curb regulator. Additionally Omega has added the spirate system, which allows tuning of the spring tension, allowing for fine adjustment with a single screw, by units of 1/10 of a second a day. Not fetishizing it, just not afraid of it being in one of my watches.

[@watchartsci]

@@mrcasioak1521 Nobody is afraid; your term-an intentional cheap shot. I don't care for plastic plates and bridges either. It is very difficult to create good minimally magnetic hairsprings like the Parchrom (niobium and chromium) as Rolex has or the Straussman hairsprings (niobium and titanium) as Precision Engineering has for Moser. I'm aware of the spirate system Omega developed using silicon. You're clearly a fan of silicon, and I am not. I prefer transitional metals; you're ok with metalloids. Fine, like I said, knock yourself out. However, using cheesy barbs like 'fear of' silicon, is no credit to you nor your insistence that everyone must agree with your tastes. You can wallow in silicon for all I care. I choose not to.

[@mrcasioak1521]

@@watchartsci you're aware of it yet you choose to ignore it. I don't want to 'stuff watches full' with it, nor wallow in it. Nor do i ask about plastic plates and bridges, which you add to the conversation. Those are your words with which you cast shade. You have a problem with sincerity. I admire engineering solutions. I also admire the parachrom hairsping in my Submariner, and wouldn't turn my nose up at one with siloxi in it either.

[@watchartsci]

@@mrcasioak1521 Look, you're acting like the salesman trying to push a product to a customer they did not want. At the NYC Watchtime Show I asked Kari Voutilainen if he'd ever use silicon hairsprings, and he told me No. Roger Smith said No. Agenhor said No. The Geneva Seal Foundation said No. No sale! But no one tells you, you cannot use silicon hairsprings, so why all the whining? Before I retired I used to program mobile devices like Smart Watches and iPhones. Amazing things can be done in silicon; but I have chosen to take a mechanical path, avoiding silicon in the watches I choose. I could care less if you want to buy watches with silicon hairsprings, but for me, No Sale!
