Having fun in NYC at Christmas time…
Dropped into the Swatch store on Fifth Avenue and decided to add some proper Swatch collabs to the collection (as opposed to the Aliexpress knock-offs)…
Then headed over to the TAG Heuer boutique on Fifth Avenue and picked up the recent Monaco Night Driver…
Then dropped in the Chopard boutique…and was invited downstairs to the “special room” to see some amazing LUC watches and decided to pick up this one which I’ve nicknamed the “Golden Eagle”…
Then I figured I’d better stop 😉
Now it’s just enjoying great restaurants and going to see the amazing Chris Botti this Friday night at The Blue Note…🎺🥂

Woah! That's an impressive shopping spree. Enjoy those new additions 👍
Thanks! I just couldn’t take it off my wrist it was so awesome!
Finally had to since it needs an extra link. Should have it back tomorrow sometime.

Thanks - and I had no intention of buying any watches when I woke up yesterday 😂
If you’re still in town and like Citizen watches (or those of their subsidiaries), the boutique just opened on 50th and 5th. They’re hosting a cocktail hr tomorrow night I think. Looked at a few of the brands live for the first time earlier today.
GOLDEN EAGLE. SWEET
Wow, great additions Mel! Man, I am all over that Night Diver - absolutely digging the color combo. The Golden Eagle is of course also a stunner! Maybe it’s the gold dial, but it looks like it has considerable heft to it!

Thanks - saw that on Worn & Wound. I may be able to drop in but I have a dinner in Chelsea with some friends and my daughter so I may miss it.

Thanks Chauncey!
Yes - the Night Driver is really cool…check out the lume from the professional images (don’t have my torch handy)…
The “Golden Eagle” is awesome and yes the 18k yellow gold case and bracelet weigh up 😄. You won’t forget that watch is on your wrist.
Here are some preliminary wrist shots…

Lume shots are awesome - definitely didn’t see that coming. Appropriately named watch, as you might be able to use the chrono functions at night. The dial on the Chopard is even more outrageous in your preliminary wrist shots…
Awesome!! 🥰 love watch shopping lol… how long you staying for?
Even though I’m not a fan of fumé dials, that Blancpain swatch collab looks like a fun watch.

Back and forth between the coasts during the holiday season.

Sweet enjoy!! 🍻
Great watches! Except for the moon swatch. I’ve found it to be wildly cheap and disappointing. I got caught up in the hype. I’m tossing mine. Trash.
Looks like you had some real fun! I'm curious about the Blancpain x Swatch offering, feel really tempted by that one. Doesn't seem as cheaply done as the Omega collab. Your thoughts?
Just 3 boutiques on one day. lol. Awesome man! Btw - I picked up my Monaco from the same store on 5th avenue. They had a wonderful sales person assisting me with all my queries and questions. Great service.
Thanks - yes the sales staff at the boutique are excellent. I worked with Gio and Christian. Did you get to see the “secret” downstairs room with the cool memorabilia? It’s really neat. I believe that’s where they hold the launch events. Which Monaco did you pick up?
“Hey @ChronoGuy , haven’t you bought enough baller watches this year?!”
@ChronoGuy
I think I’m done…only a couple of weeks left in 2023…so unless I get a call from VC…😉

Classic! Beautiful Monaco. Congrats!
Thought I was done…my wife said let’s just go into Wempe and look…who am I to refuse my wife…
I had been enamored with this reference after reading the article in WatchTime this past month. Only 75 pieces made. Guess what? Wempe NYC had one in stock…
And thus do good intentions fail…
Forged Carbon case and dial…made in Glashutte…bad ass looking black with green accents…who could resist 🤷♂️
Love the Monaco!
Thanks!
Now that’s a shopping spree!
So many great picks just in time for Christmas, I love that TH the lume is incredible!
Congrats Mel 🎉🥂

Thanks Raymond! Santa treated me pretty well this year...and with the stock market continuing to rise I feel less guilty about spending my capital gains 😉

Your welcome, and I’m glad that Santa is in a generous mood this year to many folks.
There has been some rough patches but we are passed that now, and very confident that we are on a rise. We are also optimistic that it’s going to get better still,
up to and after our change in current government leaders. 🇺🇸&🇨🇦
Anyways keeping it to watches that Chopard is stunner, enjoy to the fullest 👌
