Yesterday we had a quick lunch among few of our Purists - after a long time !

this year have been crazy and i think a much needed one to all of us !!

we had good watches to talk about in addition to meeting again - what more to ask

You surely know WHO was this...you guys are very familiar seeing those timepieces ;-)

Stealth in Steel...the LF Tourbillon !

Ok, this is GRAIL...no need to tell anything further - it was just appealing to the mind & the heart ;-)

Nico shared better pics - a technical marvel, absolutely restrained timepiece !

THE Explorer II which was actually in Polar mission...coool one isn't it ?!

This Milspec is a special one...any Guesses ?!

and this GMT Master II....got all the patina & character you would appreciate !

Sorry for the reflections on most of the pic...the lighting wasn't helping.

Have a good week ahead !!

Best,

mahesh.,

Key Points from the Discussion

The city of Paris itself adds an extra layer of pleasure and sophistication to the gathering, enhancing the overall experience of discussing beautiful timepieces.
Community gatherings are highly valued, especially after periods of disruption, as they foster connection and shared enjoyment among collectors.
Among the diverse collection, the Ralph Lauren Automotive Skeleton (PLM), Laurent Ferrier Tourbillon, and Rolex GMT-Master Ref. 6542 are highlighted as particularly outstanding references.
The Laurent Ferrier Tourbillon is praised for its refined case and overall completeness, making it a personal favorite for its aesthetic and technical mastery.
The Ralph Lauren Automotive Skeleton is recognized as a significant engineering feat, demonstrating advanced horological craftsmanship.
The hope for future in-person gatherings, both in Europe and potentially in the US, is a recurring sentiment, reflecting the community's desire to reconnect.
