The history, the art,
the finesse, the immaculate work, the scrutinising detailing, everything I saw
was simpliy mind blowing.
Below is the link of some of
the gorgeous timepieces I laid eyes on;
I was privileged and
blessed enough to be invited to an exclusive closing event by Vacheron
Consantin including a private tour for the exhibit and a closing party in
Fort Canning Hotel in 2011. The highlight was the night was a private tour with
a watch experts who expounded further on each timepiece as we walked past them.
Each piece telling a marvellous and intriguing story. From being a famous
heirlooms of monarchs and to personal pieces belonging to notable historians.
At that very moment, like a fish swimming towards the bait, I was hooked.
Since then, I have
been to number of other exhibits available locally. I am constantly trying to
grow my understanding on timepieces and chronology. I am still a baby, weaning
and am slowly growing my capacity and intellect on the meanings of all the
different kinds of watches and movements.
Back then I was a
student, having just started working I hope to start a small watch collection
and hope to grow it to a decent collection someday.
Who says it's wrong
to dream? As I told my wife, it would be a dream to work for any timepiece
company out there, to expand my knowledge and grow my fascination and love for
timepieces.
Having seen, read and
learnt of so many brands around the world, each great and momentous in its own
right. I dream to be a proud owner of a Vacheron Constantin timepiece one day,
to me it is the Crème de la crème.
Who knows, from my
little humble blog, an opportunity may come along. Allowing me to work with
timepieces as a living. What a life!
So let's get started!
I look forward to more posts and use this page as a means for me to learn and
share.
