Journey, for the foreseeable future, is on maintain. It is one thing which I might been in a position to do with impunity for a few years whereas protecting the world of watches, and it had turn out to be one thing that I might began to take a bit bit with no consideration. There have been, in any case, years once I went to Geneva extra typically than Brooklyn (I dwell in downtown Manhattan), and going to Europe had turn out to be fairly routine. Not solely was the journey one thing about which I might turn out to be blasé, I had additionally begun to take it with no consideration that I might be capable to see, kind of any time I wished, the locations the place watches have been being made and the place watchmaking historical past was made. In any case, through the years, I might been to Morioka to go to Grand Seiko, Paris to go to the grave of Breguet, Switzerland to go to – effectively, you title it (it took me greater than 10 years to pay a go to to the grave of Hans Wilsdorf, however I acquired there in the long run), and Germany, in addition to a slew of different locations too quite a few to say (though I’ll say, lastly getting contained in the Tour de L’ile with Vacheron was fairly darned thrilling – perhaps solely to a watch nerd, but it surely was a real thrill).
