What to wear if you plan to meet Zenith Moderator
Well answer is quite obvious but let's start from the beginning
The focal point of my every arrival to Vienna

Very well known facet

and known clock I like so much..Memento Mori "dial" and Gold hands

On the way to the meeting point all signs were telling me that colorful evening

with lot of scents is ahead

Oliver did you had hiccups last night.

....your name came across more than once my friend

Some more good signs on a way to the venue

Actually funny thing was that my phone got completely frozen near Vienna without any chance whatsoever to reboot or even turn of
just same screen for 4 hours until battery went kaput

and to finally answer question from beginning....when meeting Zenith Moderator you must wear Zenith

Classic insignia of my waiting moments

We decide to do some extensive windows shopping and I must confess that Vienna is very very dangerous place for it...at least 5 pieces that are on my wish list were available

...Exhausted by cornucopia of fine pieces we decided to start with more mundane things...Vis a Vis was our point to refresh...such a charming place

Some pieces of night...

and Zenith on Modersators wrist ...not bad not bad at all

Watch to hold and see in real to fully respect it...very elegant

We were on strict diet

approved by Arnie himself

... is that AP Arnie is wearing

after few glasses of extraordinary fine grappa & red wine we decided to take road to perdition

again all good signs...barrels...things will be good

some food that would satisfy even vegetarians

and something that Ming should try

Big thank you for wonderful afternoon & evening dear Magnus

and I'm terribly sorry that Marcus & Heinz weren't able to join us.....next time I'm sure
Cheers
Damjan

DAMJAN, thank you so much for that evening...

which in any aspects went beyond my expectations! We chatted for hours as if we knew each other since years, we hared fine watches and fine food - together with appropriate liquids... Isn't this a great attribution to the PuristS' spirit? I have to say that I was quite taken by the heft of your coinage Zenith Defy. I did not expect that, but appreciated that a lot. Together with the bold octagonal design it has certainly presence! I made a new friend and I look forward to the next meeting, Damja

Fantastic outing, Damjan!

Very happy the both of you had a great time. You should plan a trip to this side of the Atlantic as we also have many roads to perdition. Cheers, Alex
