KIH's post captures the essence of a 'Travelling Purist's' journey through New York, offering a glimpse into the city's vibrant watch scene and cultural landmarks. It provides a snapshot of a collector's experiences, blending business with horological passion and community connection.

I am in NY and about to leave for the airport.

First few shots are the venue for the upcoming Lange dinner (June 19, if my memory serves me right) - Neue Gallery.  Other than those, good old NY more crowded than ever with tourists.  Wempe was packed all the time and I wasn't even noticed smile  I wish I had more free time (occupied with business meetings, lunch, dinner, etc.) and visited numerous boutiques (IWC has opened, Breguet seems to have relocated, I missed Hublot, too.....).


At one of the Cafes in Neue Gallery - many Klimt on upstairs.




Oh, RM smile




Touristic places...












Again, thank you so much, friends in US.  I can't thank enough for taking care of me.  When you come to Tokyo, I will take care of you.

Best,
Ken

Having lived in NY for 17 years until 2010 and last business trip was November, but NY always makes me feel at home. SF, LA, BOS - I haven't been these places for a while and what a pleasant trip it was! Ken
