GTG: #LAWatchGang March 2015

Brian H. April 7, 2015

Last month's #LAWatchGang GTG was fun as always!  Several new faces for me and plenty of watches that I had not seen before.  Add delicious tacos to the mix and all I can say is that I certainly enjoyed every minute of it.  Some of the brands in attendance that night include Rolex, Ressence, Tudor, Omega, Hamilton, Glashutte Original, Panerai, Girard-Perregaux, Breguet, Audemars Piguet, and Heuer.

Vintage pieces are starting to make up for about half of the watches at the GTGs lately, so why not start with them?

Double red madness!

🚨 NOW LIVE! 🚨. This latest incoming is different from my other watches and that could be a very good thing. Find out which Nomos Glashütte made it into my collection and read the full story at www.lifeofawis.com.
The back is not too shabby either 😍.
Had the chance to see one of these in the flesh and try it on! The LAB-ID Carbotech PAM 700. This was a prototype, not production model. The letters on the crystal instead of on the dial gave the watch a very distinct look.
Visiting Panerai’s Neuchâtel facility last month was a dream come true for this humble collector, which included lunch at the Panerai Restaurant. Which was really just a fancy lunch inside their break room, but it was still amazing 😋. Full story with many pics coming soon on my website.
🚨Calling all Panerai fans and followers of Panerai Central!🚨 If you are a Panerai aficionado, chances are that you already follow @paneraicentral. For years, I’ve been enjoying the content and knowledge that the account provides. Personally, I think it would be awesome if Panerai Central got its own limited edition Panerai for being a great Panerai Community Ambassador for all these years. If you would like to see a Panerai Central limited edition Panerai and would be interested in owning one, please sign the petition available in the link below or link on my profile. With enough support, it may become a reality one day! Please consider reposting on your account so that we may reach more people! https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/we-want-a-panerai-central-limited-edition-watch
@toysofawis and I had to go with the 🍊 orange strap of course!
A Panerai BMG party!!! As part of the Panerai tour and experience in Neuchâtel, we had the opportunity to wear the PAM 692 for the duration of our visit, while our personal PAMs were being checked for timing accuracy.
One of my personal highlights from my recent trip to Switzerland... visiting Officine Panerai in Neuchâtel!
Fun fact: Each Greubel Forsey takes about 500-600 human hours to decorate by a master decorator (not watchmaker). That’s between 63 and 75 days just for the decorations! That partially explains why this beautiful Balancier Contemporain is $190K 😉.
Quite possibly my favorite, the Greubel Forsey GMT. That spinning globe is simply 🔥🔥🔥.
The Greubel Forsey Double Tourbillon on my wrist! Not only did we had the honor to meet both Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey (second pic), Stephen Forsey himself gave us the tour of his facility! Completely surreal! He was incredibly knowledgeable, humble, funny, and very down to earth. Gave me a completely new appreciation for the brand.
One of my all time favorite Breitlings in rose gold, the Navitimer. One of the most impressive things I saw at their factory was the very complex conveyor system being used during assembly that transports the watch from watchmaker to watchmaker. It is a true assembly line, where watchmakers are only responsible for certain steps, rather than being responsible for the assembly of the entire watch. A lot of automation.
One of the more interesting pieces we saw at Breitling... the B01 Curtis Warhawk. Notice that the watch is missing the strap. That’s because straps/bracelets are installed at another facility and not where the watch is being built/assembled.
What most impressed me about Bovet was how they truly are handcrafted timepieces. Every details and every finish is perfected by the hands of a true artisan.
