IGOTT2 table shot
Sorry for the bad quality of the picture. Hopefully someone else can provide a better one. Does anyone remember the final count? It all started with a group shot of Peter Speake-Marin watches you see in the far left. Once it was announced that a table shot was going on, there was a mad rush of people to place their watches on the table. We all had to wait in line to take the pictures. I can think of at least two dozen more watches that did not make it on this table including the P10 watches.

Here is a close-up of the Speake-Marin corner
Sorry for the poor picture - suspect others have better....
honestly.....
I didn't take a photo of the Mega-Table Shot. There were so many PuristS and their watches that I fought my way to the table just to put down my AP. Thanks for the pic Allen! -MW
Thanks for the table shot, Allen!
There were plenty of impressive pieces at the gathering! It was fun to meet you in person! Cheers, Daos
It was great meeting you too!
What a wonderful time we had. Looking forward to IGOTT3 already!
Allen, that looks like
the mother of all table shots. We need a telescope to scan everything! Thanks and looking forward to more pics.
There was 80 when I counted
But a couple more were added at the last moment before the "official" pics were taken.
Subtle Montblanc stars were everywhere around the room that night
many thanks to them for hosting us for a fabulous meal. I have table shots too but must be on a memory card that's eluding me right now. I recall the count at 80 as well. Cheers Cazalea
Too bad, too many :-)
I can feel the smiles and enthusiasm behind and beside the lens. Many thanks for posting this "usual" shot for GTG! Ken
The evolution of the ultimate table shot
Excited PuristS rip watches off their wrists and hurl them onto the table The first seven An even dozen. (I ponder snatching up this one, but figure everyone knows whose it is ... and it ain't me) Now they are piling up. We decided the table needs to be m...
Going from few, but oh-oh.. To so many .. THAT was a cool thing, crazy as well ! :)
Enjoyed your evolution shots ! They document and highlighf our all 'raison d'être', don't they ? Best, hs
You guys have all the fun! :)
How I wish I would have had the chance to join… Are my eyes deceiving me or is there a vintage Polaris 65/tropical strap in the group and a vintage Polaris 68/original bracelet?! Huge congrats to all that had a chance to attend! Best Blomman
Sharp eyes.. And quick mind .. As always , my friend !
As said, already, wished you had been with us, BUT : Soon, very soon - somewhere else, I do truly hope ! AND: - you are been taking good care of the JLC forum with the nice " in a different xxx" - series !, I sure like those a lot ! And I am equally sure ...
I tried…
But it’s not easy when Vlad is gone…! Happy you like the “In a different…” Just a desperate try to keep things going. Now when Nicolas is back everything can go back to normal! Any close up on the two Polaris? Yes, see you soon, my friend! Best Blomman...
I have to work on several ' IGOTT II ' posts, my friend.
And to spend some time on my " real job ", too as I have to fund some special watches to me. But I will be soon back to the JLC forum. I think Ken has a nice post under his sleeve. Best, Nicolas.
I possibly would.. If I only could .. :)
Well, my friend: - unfortunately it is impossible to load up pics on the Forum from iPhone or iPad ( don't have Laptop with me here, while still abroad) Maybe that might be something for the future to achieve for the webmaster or the tech Support. So a co...
Seems like Speake-Marin watches keep to themselves
And don't play well with others. Thanks for the photo Allen. - SJX
How did you manage to take such a great picture, Allen???
I had hard time to try to take a decent one, but I fear it will not be as good as yours. Totally crazy, but in a Purist way. Best! Nicolas.
Awesome.....
And there are so many PSM fans. Whilst this is not the biggest gathering, it is the most varied. Now the next picture I wanna see, is if there is group shot of all the IGOTT attendees!! Best, Horo
Here's one from a different angle
How did you get that shot? Were you standing on a chair or table?...
Ha! You noticed.
Ludovic Ballouard took this picture for me! He's one of the tallest guys in our group. It was great to meet you Mark!
You were on his shoulders?
Even if the guy is tall, I still wonder how you did... Best, Allen. Nicolas.
I thought about doing that!
He just took it with his arm stretched upward and the camera pointing downward.
LOL This almost looks like a US Customs poster shot...
..for airport confiscated counterfeits- except these are all real.
