FanFrancisco shares a photo essay documenting his two-day encounter with Jaeger-LeCoultre moderator Nicolas in Singapore, coinciding with the launch of the Geophysic 1958 reissue. The post captures candid moments and highlights the strong community bonds among PuristSPro members.

first met Nico at IGOTT2 in LV few years ago, since then this is the second time of encounter with him which for sure was the very happy catch up again. as you know, his visit to Singapore was helping to launch of Geophysic 1958 reissued in Singapore.

at both days when he was here in the events, i am sure you have read the reports from other members and Nico. instead of posting the watches from the events, managed to take some other interesting pics for him which when he was busily briefing us the historical backgrounds, and his personal views on the Geophysic. Besides we can see his serious look, but also as always some his funny facial expression.

anyway, was so great of meeting him again, especially in Singapore. hope the next of meet up with him will not be long and hopefully the place will be near to his home town.
