...but I'm still convinced that it really was time to move on, and I'm very glad that the watch went to a good owner and that I will most likely still get to see it again from time to time.
Congrats Rene!

This is a very, very special watch, among the most fine a collector can ever own, and to be cherished and quietly admired and held for generations. Kari really has his own style.
