It took me two good weeks to be able to write these words and to share the sad news with you. Our dear Christian passed away. A bit more than one year after our friend Rudi, and these two were very good and close friends. We will miss him, a lot, as well ...

To Christian ( Nino Italiano ) who passed away.

May he RIP and be granted Paradise

I am sure he was not late in Heaven. With all these watches!

This is upsetting news..

Good idea, mon ami. Internet makes us forget those who contributed so much. While we should never forget them. I like this idea a lot.

:)

Food for thought.

Was this ever done?

Our Wall of Fame? No, not yet, but this would be a great idea, as we are like a Family.

Yes

I will submit to Bill.

Very good idea, I’d be fully supportive too👍

Let's think about how we can do it.

+1, a "Heavenly Purists" dedicated section, or something equivalent...if we see how to implement it it would be very nice as a permanent tribute to the members who left us. Definitely an idea to discuss with Bill or in the mod chat👍

We will see that Asap.

👍

+1 Great!

Great idea

That is a very nice idea!

We'll work on our own Wall of Fame.

Very sad news. RIP.

Thanks for your kind words, mj23.

God bless Christian and Rudy

Thanks, for them.

Terrible news, thanks for sharing with the forum Nico. RIP🙏🙏

I cannot say " my pleasure ", here...

The community has lost more than a esteemed member: it has lost a dear friend.

Very well said.

My condolences, may he Rest In Peace

Thanks, my friend.

Condolences to his family and friends

Indeed.

Very very sad news, RIP my friend Christian we’ll miss you a lot

Yes, his collection is not important, our loss is much more what matters, here.

Very sad to hear. A bit of passion lost from the site and from the lives of those who knew him. RIP.

Thanks for your spot on and very moving words, mon ami.

very sad news

Thanks, Andreas.

Deepest condolences

Thanks, Time to watch.

Very sorry to hear about Christian's passing.

Absolutely, my friend. Deeply missed.

Sincere condolences to the family, may he R.I.P.!

Merci, Z.

Best condolences to his friends and family!

Thank you, Chronometer.

Loosing a member of a family is always a big loss for everybody!

And Christian was part of our big family. Thanks, Adam.

Please, accept my condolences.

Merci, Ivan.

I will also extend condolences to family and friends! I did not know him but very sorry for those who now have a void in their lives.

As I said, every member here is part of our family. Very sad.

How sad! All the best to Christian!

Did you meet him when you were in Paris?

I'm not sure, but I don't believe so...

We have to organize more GTGs and meet more people.

+1 Life is just too short.

THAT is the spirit of our forum.

+1. We will focus on this once COVID ends.

We'll have a glass thinking of him.

Yes. A toast to Christian!

And not only one!

Sad news. Sad day. Thanks Nico…

Grazie, amico mio.

My deepest condolences, may he RIP 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Thank you, Watcholic.

WHAT?? I am in utter SHOCK mon ami. We just saw our dear Christian a short while ago in Paris 😳. I had no idea he passed nor why? This is truly sad for me to hear, especially after such a great time in Switzerland with other dear friends...

Yes, my friend, we saw him a couple of months ago. We have to enjoy life, and to care about our friends.

Whilst, I never meet him, I feel a sense of loss. This community is special because of the fine individuals that are assembled here. Our horological passion brings us together yet it is also a reminder of time—it is precious and ever so fleeting.

Yes, a fine community with very fine members belonging to a giant and not always ) virtual family.

My sincere condolences to his loved ones!

Thank you, Radone.

RIP

Thanks for joining in.

Shocked

Thanks for your message, Fabrice.

Sad news, indeed. Isn’t it ironic that our obsession with time is the one thing that we have the least amount?
