After being an online friend of our dear Luis for a few years now, we finally get to meet tonight! A gentleman, Purist and fellow watch lover, a real pleasure meeting him tonight over some local dishes.

Several Singapore based PuristS turned up to welcome him and it was a very fun gtg tonight!

Special thanks to Shawn for organizing for us once again!

Some pics to share . Many brands represented today from Lange to Patek to Montblanc to Seiko, FPJ, PSM, VC, AP, Rolex etc.

3 watches stood out for me - Luis' cosmic green Moser Concept watch is such a beauty! Beerstyle's Chopard LUC Chronograph PuristSPro edition and KFC's vintage Rolex Blueberry.

Which other watches caught your attention?

Fellow PuristS who attended please add more pics !

Cheers

Robin

Finally, Luis and I meet and we both wore Mosers concepts and red shirts today

Key Points from the Discussion

The Moser Cosmic Green, FPJ Chrono Bleu, and AP Starwheel were highlighted as standout watches, with their unique dials and concepts drawing significant attention.
The Moser watches, particularly the Cosmic Green and Fumé Blue, were praised for their stunning dials and the exceptional quality of their straps, like the kudu and vintage grey alligator.
The gathering showcased remarkable horological diversity, featuring independent brands like Nomos, PSM, and Moser alongside major brands, reflecting the varied tastes of the PuristS community.
The Chopard L.U.C Chronograph PuristSPro edition is a rare and highly sought-after piece, with only 50 units in the limited edition, making its appearance at the GTG particularly notable.
PuristS gatherings are seen as a way for the community to influence brands and prevent them from pursuing trends solely for easy money, acting as 'Guardians of the Galaxy' for horology.

The Montblanc Enamel Chronograph 13.21 for me. Good to see such GTGs. No doubt that you had a blast. [nt]

Ah the Villeret Vintage Pulsographe

I love that too and in a good 39mm case size. Those were the days of Montblanc Villeret at its purest. "....before the dark time, before the empire...." quoting Obi-Wan Kenobi lol

I would not be that... Dark. But I will have a close look at what they will do, for sure. [nt]

Thanks Jedi master Nico

in many ways I see PuristS as the Guardians of the Galaxy Our views may influence the brands not to go on the dark path of easy money
