Voutilainen 217-QRS Retrograde Date Manfredi 30th Anniversary in Stainless Steel. Followers of this page know I don’t often do close ups even though I appreciate fine finishings. Found these in my photo archive from 6 years ago when I first acquired this piece.

To say I’m not excited by the rapid appreciation in value is untruthful, but as its value increases, the time it spends on my wrist has greatly diminished…

My very first grand complication from Patek, the 5970J. Fewer yellow gold example were produced compared to other regular production metals, including the platinum. With the long-overdue appreciation of the 3970, today’s market pricing for the 5970 does feel rational.

If this reference has been on your radar, don’t miss the opportunity to add one to your collection before the market catches up.

NWA: Richard Mille RM 30-01 Automatic Winding with Declutchable Rotor in Titanium.

A controversial one, I know. For a long time, I was firmly in the Richard Mille skeptic camp. I associated the brand with loud flexing, Ferrari steering wheel photos, and a lifestyle image that never really resonated with me, even if, admittedly, I do have the Ferrari part covered. But I had also been judging the watch from a distance.

The moment that changed everything was not seeing it online, reading about the movement, or hearing other collectors talk about it. It was the first time I actually tried on a Richard Mille. That was the “I need one of these” moment.

Coming from a collection that is heavily weighted toward dress watches, I was genuinely surprised by how comfortable it felt on the wrist. The curvature, the lightness, and the way the case hugs the wrist made immediate sense in a way photos never could. For all the visual drama, the wearing experience is shockingly effortless.

Seeing collectors whose taste I deeply respect, including my mentor @carpe.them.diems , acquire RM pieces also made me reconsider the brand. These were not people buying hype. They were buying design, engineering, originality, and wearability.

The RM 30-01 is not subtle, and it is not trying to be. But in titanium, with the declutchable rotor system and that unmistakable architecture, it feels like a watch built around both technical theater and real comfort. So yes, I may officially be joining the “money doesn’t buy taste” club. Or maybe I just finally understood why people actually wear these.

Two beautiful Lange pieces that are unfortunately no longer part of the collection.

I’ve been actively working to reduce the size of my collection from 14 watches to a more manageable 8 pieces that I can regularly wear and enjoy.

The 1815 Chronograph shares an identical caseback view with the Datograph Perpetual, yet it saw far less wrist time in comparison. As much as I admired it, the overlap made the decision easier.

The Lumen was acquired as the result of an earlier consolidation. Despite its relatively thin case, the overall wearing experience never quite met my expectations, although it was significantly more comfortable than the Zeitwerk it replaced.

I’m now down to a single Lange: the very rare 410.030. It remains one of the cornerstones of the collection, having been worn 160 days out of 365 in 2024, and it continues to command a significant share of my wrist time today.

There is over ten years wait for any Voutilainen. But there are other ways to acquire watches with hand-guilloché dial made by Kari. Case in point, the Moritz Grossmann Turquoise Date.
