      have you seen the 1970 heuer pvd black monacco darklord? your thought?
      this is my next baby. it will be my first skeleton see the movement type watch.

      i bought this one today..

      originally i had this. i like it but i dont think im a fan of radio controlled watches. i feel like they are more likely to have interference.

      before that one i exchanged it for this one. the one above had more timezones.
      i like the 2 toneness of it though.
      www.gordonsjewelers.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12346235
      my next watch if i can find it will be

      i dont think you can have too many but you dont need hundreds in my opinion. price tags aside if you like the watch and it makes you excited when you put it on. i think you should own it. do you recommend any watches for me to check out?

    Have you ever seen someone speak with such passion for watches? Such an energetic guy, Biver is.
    It's refreshing to see a seasoned collector and connoisseur with a truly one-of-a-kind classic collection wearing something slightly ridiculous like the Big Bang. It shows that he simply loves watches and not just the elitism and snobbery that often follows.

    I never had anything more expensive than a basic Casio in my life and don't really understand the "passion" for watches that cost tens, hundrets of thousands or millions. The watches this gentleman has are even visually mindblowing, just wow.

      He has the money to drop so much on the watch lol, with his income its kind of like us saving up for a 5k speedmaster.

    So glad to hear JC Biver talk about Blancpain which is so important in watchmaking industry and SO largely underestimated today.

    I am a failure - At one of the lowest points in my life ... Yet this great man Mr. Biver made me smile several times with his smile - His passion - His knowledge - His collection ... I even smiled when I saw his dogs :) I bet even his pets have a passion for the ultimate Horological rarities and masterpieces and love Patek ;) On that table are tens of millions of dollars worth of Grail watches ... And here I sit alone in the dark trying to talk myself out of committing suicide. May God forgive my sins and have mercy on my soul. *** One last thing before I go. This Genius Mr. Biver reminded me of a quote by Winston Churchill that goes something like this : I am not hard to please - As I am easily satisfied with the best ***

      Just to put it into perspective, his dog is sleeping (and slobbering and worse) on a pure silk Persian rug with a ridiculously detailed pattern... I conservatively estimate that that rug alone would be worth something in the 6 figure range. If it is a notable maker or is older than 50 years, then it would be considerably more expensive.

  • @Theo-ul8qm

    Coming back to this video in 2024, those 'masterpieces' he talks about at 11:16 are actually pretty good value on the used market. They're probably not popular because the cases are small, but they're gorgeous watches.
    Seems like a bit of a shame how Swatch has handled Blancpain since they acquired it. It seems like the brand has had difficult times at least since this video was released, which is 10 years ago now.
