JLC - Back from the Manufacture.

Back from the Manufacture.

2 full days at the Manufacture is an exhausting experience, but also some funny moments...

Exhaustive, because you have to face the cold, the snow, and so many watches to take in pictures.

Funny because you alwas meet friends, there, and it is a much better opportunity to share some time in a quite relaxed ambiance, compared to the SIHH...

Let me share some pictures before we get some more " serious " posts...

A snowy and magic night at the Sentier,

Our very dear " Dédé ", haunting the corridors of the Hotel Des Horlogers "... If I never sleep, I'm not alone, this guy is amazing.

I wonder where he goes, in the middle of the night...

When it snows, it really snows there:

Striking friends in the early morning:

Time to go to the Pilgrimage, now...

Yes, yes, Antoine LeCoutre in person...

Our dear POY, in excellent shape, vociferating " Hey, Antoine, with all the money I spend each year in your watches... " Adding the word to the gesture:

My turn, now...

More to come, when I recover...

Best,

Nicolas

Nice view, my friend! Looking forward to your report from the Promised Land! Looks like we had the room next to each other… With the same ideé for a photo! But I prefer summer time. Frankly – I would go any time of the year! Best Blomman...

A funny coincidence, indeed!

Wow, this is where they host their friends, at JLC,n or what? As for the reports, I found a ton of interesting things. Let's say that for once, I had a journey I was not used to have. How can I say that.... Back to the " very roots "? Best, my friend. Nic...

Always a pleasure to be there at the same time...

By: PoyFR : December 8th, 2011-12:31

I am now in Italy, the weather is just beautiful, 16 degrees, quiet unthinkable after what we experienced in Tonio's land. But surprise surprise I found some other JLC stuff... Yummy!

Naaah, really? Can't wait to see what you found, Dédé.

By: amanico : December 8th, 2011-12:44
