The heavy steel door slowly opened, revealing a spiraling staircase.

Clearly, Guo Jingyun's private collection was built underground.

As Guo Jingyun walked into the private collection, the lights of the originally dark underground collection were also turned on.

"Stepping on ......"

Following behind Guo Jingyun, Lin Qian walked down the winding spiral staircase downward, looking at Guo Jingyun's graceful and delicate figure in front of him, Lin Qian couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart again that Guo Jingyun's maintenance was really good.

"Sister Yun, when did you start collecting watches?"

The winding staircase was a bit long, and it was very quiet in this underground collection room, so it was a little embarrassing for the two of them not to speak, so Lin Qian picked a question and asked.

"15 years old. ”

Hearing Guo Jingyun's answer, Lin Qian's expression was a little stunned.

"Doesn't that mean Sister Yun, you've been collecting watches for nearly 20 years?"

"Pretty much. ”

"Sister Yun, you liked watches when you were so young?"

"My great-grandfather was the chief watchmaker of the Qing Dynasty, and when my grandfather's generation encountered war, my grandfather's family ran to the Eagle Country to escape the war, where he met many watchmakers of that era with his ancestral watchmaking skills. ”

Guo Jingyun's voice was not hurried, and her tone was light.

"Then it came to my father's generation, the whole family moved back to China from the Eagle Country, and my father gave up the watchmaking industry and relied on the savings of his ancestors for many generations to go into business on the wave of reform and opening up. ”

"In my generation, I wasn't interested in business, but I was interested in watches, and when I was a child, I followed my grandfather to watch and see many of the world's best watches. ”

"My interest was cultivated at a young age, and then at the age of 15, I bought my first watch with my New Year's money, and after that, I collected a lot of watches, and then I got to know a lot of people because of my collection of watches, some people bought watches from me, some people sold watches from me, and then I got to where I am today. ”

Listening to Guo Jingyunde's narration, Lin Qian's understanding of Guo Jingyun became more in-depth.

It turned out to be a family of watchmakers, so it is no wonder that they know watches so thoroughly.

While the two were talking, the spiral staircase finally came to an end.

As far as the eye can see, it is a 100-metre-long corridor flanked by booths for watches.

In each glass stand, there is a watch on display, illuminated by the spotlights on all sides, each watch seems to be as new as new, and the top watch that only carries time, but has not been left by time.

"This is the Royal Oak offshore T3 chronograph launched in 2003 by Audemars Piguet and the movie "Terminator 3", is it the one that Schwarzenegger wore in the movie?"

Looking at the watch displayed in the glass table next to him, Lin Qian took a closer look, his eyes couldn't help but widen slightly, and his mouth was a little uncertain.

"Yes, this watch is taken from the shape of the octagonal window of a battleship, with an octagonal bezel and exposed screws, which broke the unwritten tradition in the world of horology for many years that the regular surface and all the operating parts were hidden, and it became a legend at the beginning, and this watch was collected by me in '05. ”

Guo Jingyun saw that Lin Qian recognized this watch, she pulled the sideburns from her ears, stood behind Lin Qian with her hands folded, and introduced with a smile.

"Cow break. ”

Lin Qian couldn't help but sigh with emotion, as a fan of the Terminator series, this watch appeared many times frequently in "Terminator 3" at that time.

And it is also a limited edition of Audemars Piguet, limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide, and now more than ten years have passed, but there are very few in circulation in the secondary market, which can definitely be called a treasure.

Lin Qian paused for a moment in front of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore T3 Chronograph, and he continued to walk forward.

The next few watches are also treasures of the Audemars Piguet series, Lin Qian looked at it casually, mainly because Lin Qian's watch knowledge is limited, such as the Royal Oak series offshore T3 chronograph just now is very distinctive, and Lin Qian has an impression under the bombardment of short videos in later generations.

But more treasures are collected, not to mention Lin Qian, even those so-called connoisseurs of later generations probably don't know.

"Huh?"

"This watch is very distinctive, the hands are actually sinuous curves. ”

After Lin Qian walked through more than a dozen glass booths one after another, he suddenly stopped in front of a booth again, mainly because this watch was really distinctive.

"It is a date hand made of blue, and this is the new Villeret watch launched by Blancpain for its 275th anniversary, perfectly adhering to the philosophy of Blancpain's 275th anniversary: classic does not mean that the new is not eliminated, but the general idea is to bring the old and the old together, which is very monumental. ”

Guo Jingyun, who had been quietly following behind Lin Qian, saw that Lin Qian was interested, and she opened her mouth to popularize science to Lin Qian.

"Tsk, Sister Yun, you are simply an encyclopedia of the watch industry, I just want to know if there is a watch that you don't know?"

After listening to Guo Jingyun's popular science, Lin Qian said with a little surprise.

"Hmmm......"

"Not really. ”

Guo Jingyun pondered for a moment and replied very seriously.

Looking at Guo Jingyun's serious expression, Lin Qian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Lin Qian walked along the side, looking at the flowers all the way, and then he found that there were so many watches here, so many that he couldn't even see them.

Only then did he know why the security measures in this basement were so strict.

For the watches collected in this basement, the value may be hundreds of millions.

The most important thing is that almost all the watches here are limited editions with no price, and any one taken out is priceless.

For example, the green water ghost that is very hot outside now, and the watches collected here are not at the same level at all, and there is no comparison between the two at all.

"Sister Yun, let's go shopping like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish shopping for a day, so why don't you give some recommendations." ”

Lin Qian looked at the long corridor that was still far away, and he turned his head sideways at Guo Jingyun and said with a wry smile.

Guo Jingyun nodded: "What style of watch do you want to choose?"

Lin Qian thought about it when he heard this, and responded: "I want to choose another watch that should be worn when wearing formal clothes for business occasions, I have bought a Vacheron Constantin before, but that watch is only a mass-produced watch, usually it is okay to bring it to school, but it is a bit insufficient to bring it to formal occasions." ”

"If it's a business dress watch, Patek Philippe, IWC, Piaget, Breguet can be, which brand do you want to choose?"

Guo Jingyun gave one of her recommendations.

After listening to what Guo Jingyun said, Lin Qian replied almost without thinking about it.

"I choose Patek Philippe!"
