In love with mechanics<\/strong>, timepieces<\/strong> and automobiles<\/strong>, I started collecting watches in the early 90s. The \u201cwatch obsession<\/strong>\u201d began with the first one I was gifted from my father : a simple steel 3 hands Omega. It was the late 70s and I had just turned 15. I was not especially happy to receive a mechanical watch while my classmates paraded around with quartz watches which were the trend at the time. However my father, one of the most refined men I know, had watches which fascinated me. His elegant style was matched with his benevolence and his devotion to others. Passionate for all things mechanical, it became his profession and gave me a taste for beautiful cars. My best childhood memories are the trips made with him in Lancia, Alpine, Ferrari, Bentley and other vintage cars. He loved his watches like he loved his cars.<\/p>[\/et_pb_fullwidth_header][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”4.1″ custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”25px||0px||false|false”][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”4.1″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”|0px||0px|false|false” custom_margin_phone=”|10px|||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”0px|13px|0px|13px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”|30px||30px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”0px|14px|0px|14px|false|true”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.1″ custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.1″ header_font=”acta_deck_medium||||||||” header_text_color=”#0d6072″ header_font_size=”46px” header_letter_spacing=”-1px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”22px||20px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”-6px||8px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”||||false|false” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” animation_duration=”600ms” animation_delay=”400ms” animation_intensity_slide=”35%” header_text_color_tablet=”” header_text_color_phone=”” header_text_color_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”” header_font_size_phone=”44px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_letter_spacing_tablet=”” header_letter_spacing_phone=”-2px” header_letter_spacing_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_css_before=”font-family: ‘acta_deck’;” custom_css_main_element=”font-family: ‘acta_deck’;” custom_css_after=”font-family: ‘acta_deck’;”]

Amoureux des belles m\u00e9caniques, garde-temps et automobiles, j’ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 faire collection de montres au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 90. Comme beaucoup d’entre nous, le virus de la collection est entr\u00e9 en moi avec la premi\u00e8re montre re\u00e7ue : une Om\u00e9ga en acier offerte par mon p\u00e8re. A l’\u00e9poque je n’\u00e9tais pas sp\u00e9cialement heureux de recevoir une montre m\u00e9canique alors que mes camarades de classe paradaient avec des montres \u00e0 quartz qui \u00e9taient la tendance du moment. Nous \u00e9tions \u00e0 la fin des ann\u00e9es 70 et je venais d’avoir 15 ans. En revanche j’\u00e9tais fascin\u00e9 par les montres de mon p\u00e8re qui \u00e9tait l’un des hommes les plus \u00e9l\u00e9gants et raffin\u00e9s que j’ai connus. Ce n’\u00e9tait pas seulement les habits, les chapeaux et les chaussures qu’il portait qui le rendait si \u00e9l\u00e9gant, mais sa discr\u00e9tion, sa bienveillance et sa d\u00e9votion pour les autres. Passionn\u00e9 de m\u00e9canique, il en avait fait du reste son m\u00e9tier, il m’a donn\u00e9 go\u00fbt aux belles automobiles et mes meilleurs souvenirs d’enfance sont les voyages fait avec lui dans des Lancia, Alpine, Ferrari et autres Rolls Royce. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"\r\n
