Girard PerregauxTme Pieces

My mom passed on recently. Very very sad. She loved my girard-perregaux watches. They have deep sentimental value accordingly. I really like the the look of my two vintage watches. The time accuracy is not always there but that seems like a tiny price to pay. We have all the accurate timepieces we nned on cell phones etc. I love the fine mechanics and craftsmanship of these vintage watches.

This leads to consistently bad decisions.
however we hope that we more often than not we are lucky. Skill plays such a small role. Certainly a smaller role than arrogance.
The only possible afeguard is the passive investment cash flow and even that is dicey. But preferred's take away some of that risk
