Besides Watches, pen collection dn Calligraphy is my other hobbies


 Calligraphy is my meditation, where the vanilla-infused aroma of Paris coffee meets the bold, verdant flow of my vintage Waterman Patrician turning a simple Sunday into a curated escape ❤️

Remarks

That is a Waterman Patrician fountain pen 1929. The nib had to go through 32 steps to make!

In 1929 the pen was sold with USD$10.00 that time a miner month wages was $118.00.

Audemars Piguet 5402BA A series on sale


 A piece of history, the most iconic Royal Oak watch that saved the company in 1972. A Legendary watch design from Gerald Genta 

This watch had been authenticated in Le Brassus Audemars Piguet in 2024, but when I asked about the final cost for overhaul, the Audemars Piguet reply from Switzerland was HK$198,000 that is out of my budget and I took it back.

this is open for sell, I know it is not the good time to sell, but if the offer is OK, I can turn the money for other investment.

Message me if you can give an offer. 

Five HK dealers fell into a trap buying Frankenwatch losing 5 Millions HKD within day


 



Scammer used authentic Audemars Piguet watch with paper and box Ref 15450 with HK$218,000 ,
replaced with a Chinese made super A clone openwork movement and sold 5 sets to HK dealers each at $1,020,000 in One day. The nett profit is about 5 M HKD, they have to sell them via different channels to five dealers in one day, as we have dealer Whatsapp group that they can communicate if that is not done in one day. the chance to get caught is very high on the next day!

This is new way to scam money with considerable higher cost!

Cartier Tank rare blue dial with gold dust manual winding for men (for sale)


 Men are increasingly wearing Cartier watches traditionally labeled for "ladies," favoring smaller, more elegant silhouettes over oversized sport models

. This trend is driven by a move toward androgynous fashion and a "subtler flex" that prioritizes design over case size.


Why This Trend?

  • Androgyny: The breakdown of gender labels in jewelry and fashion has made smaller watches a statement of style rather than "femininity".
  • Historical Accuracy: Vintage men's watches from the early 20th century were often the same size as today's ladies' models.
  • Comfort: Smaller watches are lighter and fit more easily under shirt cuffs.

Attached is my personal collection in blue rare with gold dust, this is not Lapis Azuli dial but gold dust lacquer dial made by Cartier in 1985-1988.

Beautiful dress watch that possible catch more eye contact than your Rolex Submariner for sure.

HK$30,000 for local HK trade only

Cartier Tank as a dress watch for men (for sale)


 Men are increasingly wearing Cartier watches traditionally labeled for "ladies," favoring smaller, more elegant silhouettes over oversized sport models

. This trend is driven by a move toward androgynous fashion and a "subtler flex" that prioritizes design over case size.


Why This Trend?

  • Androgyny: The breakdown of gender labels in jewelry and fashion has made smaller watches a statement of style rather than "femininity".
  • Historical Accuracy: Vintage men's watches from the early 20th century were often the same size as today's ladies' models.
  • Comfort: Smaller watches are lighter and fit more easily under shirt cuffs.

Celebrities Wearing Small or "Lady" Cartier Watches

 

Timothée Chalamet

: Known for wearing a 

Panthère de Cartier

 in one of the smallest sizes available (25mm x 19mm). At the Oscars, he also wore a Cartier Baignoirefrom a 1994 collection that was only 18mm wide.

 

Tyler, The Creator

: A prolific collector who frequently wears "ladies" models, including a Baignoire London from the 1960s and a gold 

Santos-Dumont

 likely powered by quartz, often seen in women's collections.

Iconic Models Seen on Men

  • Cartier Baignoire

: Originally an oval-shaped women's design, its mini versions are now popular among "dandies" like Chalamet and 

Mescal

 for their jewelry-like appearance.

  • Panthère de Cartier

: Once a flagship ladies' model, its elegant, thin profile (approx. 6mm thick) is now a staple for men looking for a minimalist aesthetic.

  • Small Tank Must/Louis

: The "Small" model (approx. 29.5mm x 22mm) is often chosen by men who prefer the historical proportions worn by icons like 

Muhammad Ali

and 

Gary Cooper

, who both wore smaller Tanks by modern standards. 

This is one of my collections for sale in Hong Kong locally at HKD$22,000

勞律樹 Rolex Talk

 

勞律樹一直在食老本,已經失去了很多老粉絲。但是也有不少新丁加加盟呢個勞律樹生態圈!新款Landdweller 對我來說是一件Landfiller , 比不上OQ, 我對它無什麼感覺!你可以說我們是吃酸葡萄,自1981年我第一次買一隻龬王DJ 攞到八折之後根本都未買過全新嘅勞力士。 也許我沒有多餘的資源去浪費了!我不是不喜歡這個品牌,但是我覺得他們最靚嘅都是以前嘅Day Date 1803 1803918038, OQ 19018, 19019, 1680, 1665, 16760, 16710, etc

 

但係市面上太多混水摸魚嘅賣家攪得不太好, 最普遍就係《百鳥歸巢》搞到這個品牌嗰啲古董錶都另人卻步! 加上勞力士本身唔會支持舊錶嘅維修服務。你攞隻古董錶上去佢個面啊針都同你換新版變咗一隻唔值得收藏嘅不對期或者是不對版的雜錶了。還好,還好香港還有兩二三家比較可靠嘅專業做呢啲古董錶嘅修復的店!那整體來說,舊錶勞力士嘅價錢都係上唔到,新錶價錢又仲係喺度乾炒,所以無言啊😑無言!

聽到澳門鐘錶博物館館長所講嘅說話亦都值得我深思,佢話戴錶一定要人哋最好唔知他戴的係咩嘢錶佢先覺得爽!呢句說話係帶出好多資深玩錶人嘅心聲,即係話你唔要帶出隻錶出嚟就要俾人知道呢隻係麽品牌當抄錶野,係要帶出自己風格同品味,同埋還要自己喜歡,就唔係帶出一件值幾球嘅(《東西》放喺手上要別人認同!

 

當然佢帶隻錶有啲都何止幾球啦,LOL

奈何, 有錢人都係在玩錶; 冇錢人都係比被錶玩!
