Tonight JLC Singapore organized one more event (we just had dinner last night!)

A cocktail party for collectors to enjoy the new flagship boutique in Ion Singapore plus to see some of the SIHH 2015 novelties.

This time, at Nico's suggestion, I took the chance to look at the Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication in pink gold in more details.

Here is a photo and a video to share.

Despite the noisy background, I could hear the chimes very well. I am no expert here in the field of minute repeaters but I feel the volume and pitch sounds pretty nice!

What do you think?

A highlight this evening was the surprise birthday celebration for our dear Purist friend, Stefan!!

He didn't know we planned this and he was very touched with the surprise

Happy birthday Stefan!!

Some pics to share. Watches (grand complications!!), celebrations and friendship. What a nice evening

I love our PuristS community!

Cheers

Robin

Our steel PuristS' Chronograph is cheaper

...but similar movement. Of course, PuristS' version is more rare as it has no date disc and is specially modified. Regards, MTF
