Watchlords

This was a day filled with horological eye-candy. And I can't ever say enough about the kindnesses I'm shown.

Lots of extras in the post, about Qinhuangdao itself (pretty place), some terrific food and some classic antiques.

Here's a two shot preview...

That double Tourbillon is that painted or enamel in your link? It is a stunning piece either way!! Way to go Ron!! I enjoyed all of your pictures and videos class act all around. Throw out the politics and we are all the same enjoying each other’s stories and culture. I quite enjoy your trips and hopefully soon I will be taking an Asian trip.

Astounding!

Amazing.

Thank you! I hope you have a great time in Asia--and share your stories, too!

I *think* the double tourbillon is both hand painted and enamel - baked.

One thing I can't convey is how surreal a lot of this *to me* while I'm meeting these people and visiting these places. I'm constantly amazed and astounded, myself.

And you folks, I know, can remember back to when I was still pretty new to collecting, and before I'd been to China. I sure didn't see any of this coming at the time. And I'm still never used to it.
