Boutique...BP...Bronze! Fri, 09 February 2018 14:40 Go to previous message

I was in Toronto and decided to visit the Richemont group boutiques.
2 subways and 1 streetcar later I found myself here:

45 F2 D911 C38 D 4410 A1 CD 8 D98 D2 FA9 AF1

Spent time in IWC, and out this came:

D66 DBE1 F E7 BE 42 BA A832 7 A8 A481 E1950

A8 F38666 838 A 4969 9100 929 AF1 B33016


Needless to say i was smitten.
I was fortunate enough to be able to take it home with me (thank you J.J. and everyone at the boutique!)


27 CA170 B C659 4 CF9 A6 D5 F675109 CF7 AD

EC8 F26 AF 6 F9 E 4 F44 98 F3 509896 A4 CB74

And then I headed home, and the Big Pilot was where it is meant to be...


96 B89647 3832 4 F66 B017 24 A43 E3 C8968


554 E70 D9 E7 B9 4664 826 E 77 CD5 A5 CEAC4


Love those blue hands!

Just a fabulous piece. The overall harmony of the vintage markings and the bronze case is truly remarkable.

I will share more pics as the patina develops
