I guess it was time to add something new to the collection. Although this is the year of the Pilot watches I had a few close encounters with the Yacht Club chrono during the last months or so. Putting it on and of my wrist a few times made me realise how interesting and special this watch actually is. So this week I pulled the trigger and here is is. I really love the size and with the rubber strap it fits perfectly around my wrist. This is a watch that doesn't look great on many pictures, but you have to see her in person to appreciate the beauty, the craftsmanship and eye for detail that went into it. Here are a few pictures...
Regards Norbert
The wonderfull dial really speaks to you. The classic Portuguese style succesfully mordernized...
Love every detail of this watch...
The great movement inside
Beautifull new deployant clasp with Probus logo...
A perfect fit....
Together with my son I'm building a 17th century sailing ship. The Yacht Club seems to feel at home ;-)

Congrats to your new addition Norbert. Great picture, fits very well the hulk and the Yacht Club Chrono, craftmanship at its best. Suppose that sailing ship will be a VOC one ;-).

Norberts, Congratulations! Your photos captured the essence of the watch. Enjoy the watch. I had the good fortune of wearing this watch in Auckland (white dial) and in Singapore (thanks to Shing's black dial) and I am still waiting for the right moment to pull the trigger....

Hello Hajo,
In the end (a year or so) the ship will hopefully look like this one....

Norbert, Congratulations on your new Yacht Club. It is a great addition to any collection. I pulled the trigger on the black dial back in January and have worn it many times since, it has become a favorite. Wear it in good health.
