I wish to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the people who I have met in this forum during the past few months. Some of you have sent me private messages in regards to various subjects while others I am just beginning to know. It is the knowledge that I've gained from others in this forum that has broadened my insight of each watch company and the people behind these companies that make it happen. No,matter if we're talking a multi-billion dollar outfit like Omega,Rolex and others to the people like Enzo Mechanico,Dievas,Sturmansky or others. It is their dedication to watchmaking that has educated the public about mechanical and automatic movements. What amazes me about this forum is whenever I take a look at the Daily Watch section and seeing all those marvelous timepieces. It brought back fond memories when I first started my first collection in my early teens. Back in the 1980's there was no internet and few magazines about watches. No, one at the time cared about mechanical watches and those that did care had a tremendous passion for them and I was one of those passionate few. I remembered that I had to start off with vintage Gruens, Elgins, Bulovas, Hamiltons and Walthams of the 1930's-1950's because at the time these watches were inexpensive and was a good launching pad for the more expensive brand names. When you're 15 years old, getting a Gruen Veri-Thin Curvex to work was all that mattered to me. I knew latter on, once I had a bit more money that I could get this watch restored and cleaned. A mechanical watch to me means more than just a watch. It is a feat of human engineering, each little gear,screw,spring and balance wheel exemplifies the shear magnitude of the complexities that goes into each timepiece. To me that's the art of watchmaking. Sincerely, Simon Leung |
