End watch

An intriguing story. A path you go on route to the final peace of the puzzle.
A labyrint vow out, clear route to the dejavu point.

When i found my grail, my second grail was not made.
My second grail was a surprise. When the maison launched their new line for the year it was disappointing to see not any of the new watches had the specifications that met my command.
In another year i discovered a prototype that later on was launched. The prototype had the specifications that met my command, so i was glad to see they just made a watch for me made in heaven.
The work and journey is fantastic to do. The day dreams are hard, the desire is huge, so it blow up my mind when i contacted the seller and made the deal round.
Waiting each day, follow the express, and then open the door to get the box with a long wanted watch.
It looks humble and fantastic. All stickers on it, a thank you card from the seller, stiff new strap, and papers.

There is a third grail watch that not made yet.
An end i do not have, but i have grail watches as i belief it counts for me.
Sure, it is marketing and a phrase made by the digital watch community.
I adopted it quickly, as i quick had my grail on my wrist.
Actually my grail watch started up my collecting passion.
Before all started there was the desire, so i am curious to the end watch that for me do not exist. My path is to collect watches each year till i am 101 years old.
Let’s say, another grail i want is a Vacheron Constantin twin beat perpetual calendar.

What happens when you have found your grail watch

The exit watch as it is called. A fabled acquisition which when purchased satiates your appetite for purchasing any further watch . Does it really exist or is it a concept us watch fanatics create to make us feel like we are on a journey with a fixed path...  

First of all, Julian, congratulations on getting this rare bird. As for your question, I think that for the moment, your feeling is correct.

But you never know, and maybe you'll find something to feed your appetite once more... I don't really believe in the theory of grail watches being an exit watch. Because there is something else, which is called Passion, which will always makes you stay aw... 

Thanks Nico the passion will definitely

Continue . I will enjoy my collection as before - but even more so J

Humbled to be among the first to offer congratulations, Julian. My similar experience with Omega chronometers . . .

. . . led to pretty much the same result: the drive to accumulate even more has dissipated. I've long admired your devotion to the 9"' - 90; thanks very much for sharing here. Art

Thank you for sharing your story and experience. Congratulations on your acquisition of a beautiful piece!

Everything is so rounded in the world of horology!

So we all need to square it to some extent! Mine is even equipped with a fully removable glass, for a better cleaning of the dust at the corners ;-) Enjoy your grail! ...  

Thanks Mary Love your style

That i was forgotten to say how nice your special Patek Philippe is. I was looking at the hands and some double view. I thought a special kind of hands, one like a Rolex Milgauss. Like an end watch, i just made a purchase for my first watch for year 2024.... 

Huge congratulations on this perfect piece ! Most intriguing to me is the

"lighting bolt" minute hand ! Can you please explain more about this hand ? Hopefully this new addition will still leave your collecting door not completely closed yet.

Collection closed !! 🤣 who knows

The minute hand is straight but the crystal is faceted so the image is refracted to show a bent hand J

Very happy for you, Julian…

…and most envious that you have been able to secure your ‘exit watch’ after such a long and patient hunt. Now we look forward to your next ‘exit watch’ purchase! 😉 Cheers, pplater.

You guys crack me up! . . .
