There are not so many Yachting Watch Maniacs in the world – but there is a nice network between them.
It is a pleasure to present the beautiful collection of JMG Hors l’eau j’erre, a forum buddy from the Montres Mécaniques Forum from France.
It needs a couple of years to collect these masterpieces of Yachting Watches! Some of them are never seen before and ultra rare and some are definitly the basics of a Yachting Collection.
I added some descriptions to the movements and editions as far as known. Please send more stuff to me if you have some to ad like Yachting background, advertisments, catalog-scans, text and pictures. That would be very helpful
