jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) chronicles a vibrant Singapore PuristS GTG, a gathering that brought together watch enthusiasts to welcome a fellow collector, Luis. This report captures the camaraderie and diverse horological tastes within the community, showcasing an impressive array of luxury timepieces.

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 black-dial VC Historiques (a limited edition, perhaps), the Mosers and the RG dato are my favorites...but so many good contenders. Cheers, John

Amazing....a PuristS Chrono actually on a PuristS wrist in Singapore! There are hundreds of boutiques but only 50 watches in the limited edition; the odds are maybe 3:1 against. Regards, MTF

I counted 43 hands in that circle! Some magnificent chronographs, perhaps topped by a certain Wonggraph. Perhaps? Great pix, Robin!
