Cazalea initiates a vital 'Roll Call' to preserve the institutional memory of PuristS edition watches, especially those from the 2011 IGOTT2 meeting in Las Vegas. This thread aims to document and celebrate the diverse range of special edition timepieces created for the community. By encouraging owners to share their watches, Cazalea ensures these unique pieces remain visible and appreciated by new and old members alike.

Many PuristS know of the P15 Zenith, and the PuristS ABR watch. And I know of the Gerber P10 because I have one.

However, in a recent thread we were remarking on how few of us know (or remember) the wide variety of watches created for the IGOTT2 meeting in Las Vegas in 2011. A participant in that discussion said "We should have a thread on this ..."

This is that thread to recognize PuristS edition watches, intended to keep our institutional memory alive, and to remind people to pull them out of the safe. If you want to remain anonymous, you can say "I saw this one once" or "a friend of mine was wearing this and I got a photo" or you can just keep mum.

Key Points from the Discussion

The St. Gallen ABR is considered a favorite PuristS watch due to its unique design and philosophical evocation of puritanism.
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Zenith P15 are also highly regarded among PuristS edition watches, ranking second and third respectively in personal preference.
The Montblanc, Kari Voutilainen, and MB&F Chocolate Frog PuristS editions are highlighted as particularly unique and worthy watches.
The Gerber P10 PuristS edition was limited to only 10 pieces, making it an exceptionally rare collectible.
The post includes underwater and lume shots of a PuristS watch, demonstrating its practical features and aesthetic appeal in different conditions.

or not! My favorite PPro watch is still the St. Gallen ABR. It's the most unique and the most evocative of philosophical puritanism to me. Hoping for a future edition which manages to surpass that sentiment of mine! Thanks for the post, cheers, Filip

It’ll be cool. Maybe there are old-time PuristS who will respond with pics.

Truly worthy to be Purist watch. I love the Montblanc and the Kari. The MBF dark chocolate frog is also very unique.
