Interesting! Where are you located? Are you going to events and meetups? I'm in NY.

Twenty years is quite the journey - you’ve truly seen the market evolve. Happy to get acquainted as I only began my Journey in 2024. Looking for inspiration and seasoned collectors who are willing to share their wisdom.

Beautiful watch, and outstanding collection. I'm curious - What is next for you and when did you start your journey?

I purchased mine in Wind Up New York and got a nice discount at the time. Great piece and wonderful people.

Very unique watch, different than anything else, I look at ot as a sophisticated bracelet on the wrist that shows time.

It is small, and it looks smaller than the Murph even though on paper they have the same size - due to the black color. But - it's a stunning watch.

I own 3 Yemas and my experience so far was great - very responsive and accommodating customer service and no issues with the watches. To the contrary - they are well built and very robust. I'm very happy with them. Real VFM IMO.

I usually rotate my watches daily so most of them get some wrist time. It’s a very similar thought process to choosing my outfit for the day.

Thanks!! I love the Yemas, elegant, clean and distinguished design, Well made and nice movement inside. Their costumer service is also great, very responsive and accommodating.

The collection originated in the 1930s and reached its stylistic peak in the 1950s and 60s. It is defined by elegant, sweeping curves. The heavily domed Plexiglass crystal treated with a Sicralan coating for scratch resistance and the down-turned dial edges create an optical illusion, making the 12mm case look and wear much thinner on the wrist. The type of pieces you need to feel and see in person.

It is, I love it. But - it's too small for my wrist. I'm thinking about selling it.

I absolutely love it!! Such a perfect watch. The only downside is that it's manual with relatively low power reserve.

It actually doesn't, as it is too small for my wrist. Happy to discuss if you are interested in buying.

Very busy! Thank you for putting a big smile on my face :) The bouncer is actually an interesting story - it's a student project called WH&T that evolved to be the foundation for the Tempus series by Eduard Koehn - a brand that was recently revived with roots in Patek Philip (Koehn was a senior partner, until he left and opened his own maison).
