: Dear freinds... lets be serious... how may we compare a Patek with
: a Heuer ??
: Lets keep feet on earth and each thing on it's place... a Patek
: collector is aware of the mechanic Art peace he owns with those
: Jewel watches, those incredible movements... almost just to
: admire it's beauty inside other than the outside. Not
: comparable... neither the watch, neither the collector !!
: The Patek collector for sure understands that a Heuer is a poor Man
: watch... with all my respect for US all Heuer collectors
: !!
: We're collecting many brands and are aware of the special place
: that Heuer keeps, with it's it's great dynamism in design,
: marketing related with the Mobil race sports World as where
: pioneers in all this creating a wonderful period that will
: always remain (and still never has being overcome by any other
: brand).
: The Haslinger collection auction in London is a
: wonderful/exceptional event for Heuer and for all of us as a
: very clever move from Bonhams but the fantastic thing about all
: this, is the book Arno has made. A great job he should continue
: and just add that we're all so grateful to him for such a gift
: to us and the Heuer brand. The first vintage Heuer book that has
: made us all dream with those amazing pics.
: We also should count on that the watches that will be auctioned
: aren't all 100% Original Models as they where made at that time
: and that indeed adds charm/value to the collection but that
: should be mentioned scrupulously in the Bohams description as
: they're such a serious auction house.
: I don't wish to seem arrogant with this lines as is this just the
: opinion that comes from a one more humble Heuer collector that
: admires profoundly Arno's invaluable labor and spreading work
: for our beloved vintage Heuers through his book.
: Looking forward to meat you all.
: All the best
