....to ARNO HASLINGER!!! I just returned from the preview of the collection at Bonhams in New York, where I finally met Arno and the 81 pieces to be auctioned in London next December 15.

I had the privilege of spending almost the entire afternoon with Arno, whom graciously took his time to walk me through the entire collection, explaining the uniqueness and the stunning condition of each piece. I cannot report in words the remarkable collection, the value of Arno's knowledge and contribution to the brand and, most importantly, what kind of gentlemen Arno is. Thank you very much for sharing your passion and I am glad I made a new friend (in person, this time!). Now, I want to buy all of them....-:)

Best,
Francesco
