    If any of you fellow collectors or fans are like me,

    and might have perhaps often wondered:

    ‘Wouldn’t it be great if one could easily see every single Big Pilot model created, including all special editions?’

    Well the idea of taking on such a task crept into my head quite some time ago- to actually research every official model ever manufactured and produce a definitive on-line guide.

    *

    Little did I know how challenging the task would be to find and verify every model and hunt for all the photos and relevant details.

    But while I was at it,

    another possibility started to bother me:

    ‘Wouldn’t it be really helpful if such a watch guide could be sortable by say metal, dial colour, date, edition size, etc?

    *

    And if that wasn’t challenging enough,

    can you believe something else in my head was also saying:

    ‘Shouldn’t such a site also include some of the superb Big Pilot photography that you’ve seen over the years in this forum and elsewhere?’

    *

    Well… somehow after a rather irresponsible amount of time and effort-

    here’s what’s become of those ideas (fueled by a whole lot of passion for Big Pilots!):
