Why I will never part with this watch . . .
Apr 26, 2024,16:30 PM
Rolf Schnyder was a dear friend of mine. I miss him. He used to call me the "Head Freak!" and then laugh loudly. I never knew when he'd call me from somewhere around the world. Ulysse Nardin has his stamp, his DNA, his imprint and it is now gone a long time. This is a treasure to me. He made Freak Number 001 for me. Enjoy your weekend I hope!ππ»
