Horological Meandering

I had a stressful week at work today and TGIF! Whole week I was looking forward to this day. A few of us friends and Purists in Singapore gathered for dinner to celebrate a dear friend's birthday. The theme was gold... all that glitters. Just gold, no pla...  

I believe that in some forms of urushi work, gold dust is sprinkled on the painted surface before the final lacquer coat. Thanks for the GTG report. Regards, MTF

I forgot to mention that. And also the PP has a rose gold rotor. Thanks for your inputs! The Chopard Urushis are growing on me. My only concern is I can't carry them well. Cheers Robin

Looks like you had a great time! :) And that Stefan was joining.... And that he brought some new catches! ;) Best Blomman

I didn't even mention him and you could already spot him from the watches! :p Blomman, Stefan did mention you last night. He is eyeing your watches apparently. ... Hehe Cheers Robin

No wonder - we are two friends, hunting the same targets...! If he mentioned me, I hope in not too bad words... ;) Best Blomman

Stefan was full of praise for you and Nicolas. You guys have been online friends for years in the JLC forum. That's what I like about PuristSPro! I hope we can all meet up soon :) Cheers Robin

& enjoyable GTG. Thanks to those whom attended, the hospitality shown by Chopard, Parmigiani & VC boutiques. Had expected it to end late as I planned the GTG, but never expect that it was 11.30pm when we left. Enjoyed the food ... the company ... & hospit...  

Love the vintage JLCs in both wrist and pocket watch. Really impressive wrists showed up. What do you think of the Yellow gold Boutique American 1921 compared to the normal RG version? Had you seen it before? That is a rare piece, too. Best, respo

It belongs to one of our dear friends. I thought it is 4N rose gold instead of yellow gold? I may be wrong. The non LE 1921 should be 5N rose gold being redder in color. I actually like the regular edition better but my friend likes this LE NY boutique ve... 

Right you are Robin, the non LE 1921 is 5N gold, which is rose in color. The original specs for the Boutique version merely refer to the gold as yellow, but maybe it is 4N. It sure looks yellow to me in person. Here is an image I stole from the web of two...  

Having both is indeed ideal! ;) The NY boutique LE may indeed be yellow gold. I think I mistook it for the other Historique ultra thin (I recall you have that) with the ultra thin good calibre. That is 4N rose gold and looks more yellow than 5N rose gold.... 

...for guessing which one belongs to you! (",)

Guess which ones :) One of our friends couldnt make it last min so I brought 2 more than the usual 2 to cover him for a more complete table shot :) Cheers Robin

Was engaged at work till late, and belated birthday greetings to him. Great to see the Purists spirit! Best, Horo

Join us next time! :) Cheers Robin

Is that the Chopard Urishi horse in the first photo ??

Hi Gordon Yep we had a great time! It's the Fishes not the horse. The Horse is very new, just launched this year. You can check out the posts on the Chopard forum on the new Urushi Horse. Stunning piece! Cheers Robin
