  • There are certain moments in your life as a watch collector that you just don't forget. The first time you strap on a vintage Rolex. The first time you hear a truly exceptional minute repeater. They're milestones that also set the tone for everything that comes after. I can say, without reserve, that the afternoon I got to spend with René Beyer in the Uhrenmuseum Beyer is one of those moments for me.
    René's personal collection is one that has its roots in previous generations of his family, as many great collections do, and you can hear it in his voice when he talks about certain watches - they do far more for him than just keep time. Without further ado, this is Talking Watches with industry legend René Beyer. For the full story, go to www.hodinkee.com/articles/tal...

      Pieces this special are literally priceless. The moment you put a price on it in my opinion they're somewhat diminished. How much is the Mona Lisa worth? It's literally priceless, the moment you sell it for $700 Million, it's worth that much.

      I don’t think low brow would be an appropriate word here, maybe “under appreciated” would be a better term. Mondaine has a rich history and quite a good backstory.
