Hororgasm's post captures the essence of community in luxury watch collecting, highlighting a significant return to in-person gatherings in Singapore after a period of strict COVID-19 restrictions. This article not only celebrates the camaraderie among collectors but also underscores the importance of these social interactions in the watch world. Hororgasm's vivid account and humorous 'Purists Gatherings and Meetings Act' set the stage for a look into how these events foster connections and shared passion.

Singapore has just removed the most onerous Covid restrictions, which had prevented any meaningful and large Purists gatherings. over the last two years, there were a few small scale meets, not more then 4 or 5 people at a time, and even then, there are social distancing requirements. Being a Purists also have a social encompassing both meeting old collector friends, and welcoming new ones.

Purists gatherings have only one rule, pursuant to Purists High Council's seminal Purists Gatherings and Meetings Act 2007(amended 2015 and 2019), Chapter 6, Section 4, Schedule C, which dictates that all attendees have to be double wristed, or face immediate summary corporal punishment of limb removal.
