JLC Singapore organized a cosy dinner for some collectors tonight. I am thankful to be invited for the event. It was a fun night to see some PuristS and close friends and to make many new friends over dinner and watch sharing. Our Singapore based Purist and JLC guru Stefan Ma also shared his collection experience with us - very educational and enlightening. I was also asked to share a bit of my experience as a young JLC collector but to be honest, my sharing was very shallow as I am still a learner in JLC

Johan the JLC retail manager in Singapore shared about the famous Atmos clocks and also showcased 3 vintage Atmos clocks to us including the famous Presidents' Atmos.

Some iconic and boutique special pieces were presented during the dinner. The chocolate Reverso was especially appealing to me when I wore it on my wrist. It was hard to return it!

Thank you JLC Singapore for inviting and organizing this lovely dinner.

Some pics to share here. Enjoy !

Cheers

That is great to see the SG JLC Gang gathered for the event, with DJ Stefan! ;)

Stefan and his rare bird, the Memovox from the 80ies... Wish I attended the event, Robin. From what I see, the watches were top, especially this Duometre UTT which is very dear to my heart, and the evilish Reverso Red! As for friends... All great guys. JLC SG knows how to feed the link between his friends, collectors and the brand! Very well done. All the best, Nicolas
