Traveling Purist and his three friends visited my town & country

After strolling around city center time for dinner came quickly

So five guys went into a dinning room

Of course that we had liquid diet but what about some hard stuff

Appetizer one first

balance wheel on this one is just mesmerizing

Appetizer two

Now to the soup

First course

Second course

and then some deserts for end

Yes the dinner was opulent

After all become blury

In the end I would like to say that having at the same time such big, knowledgeable Lange collectors ...Bruce Wayne type of collectors... (to show you alang.watchprosite.com )

and at the same time such modest kind and not pretentious people with me at table that evening is something I'll cherish for my life. Thank you

gentlemen hope to see you soon

Best

Key Points from the Discussion

The A. Lange & Söhne community fosters strong bonds, allowing members to connect virtually and then meet in person as if they have been friends for many years, creating a welcoming atmosphere for travelers.
The sight of high complications, such as tourbillons, being worn as daily beaters by collectors underscores a deep appreciation for horology beyond mere investment, identifying true watch aficionados.
The practice of converting pocket watch movements into wristwatches, as done by Lange in the early 20th century, is considered a legitimate and historically significant aspect of watchmaking.
The experience of meeting fellow PuristS members globally enhances travel, providing a sense of comfort and assistance in unfamiliar places.

We are all sooo glad to visit Croatia after all. We just arrived at Dubrovnik and this IS a dangerous place. Right down the terrace is the beach and the view is ... can't describe here..... It's the shame that we have to leave tomorrow for Dresden - we are now wondering whether we should ditch Dresden and stay here a few more days :-) Ah, the drink at the first and the last of the dinner is so memorable.... that I don't remember much, hehehe. Hvala, my friend. We are very, very grateful and glad
