Nine guys went to the best Bouchon Lyonnais restaurant in Tokyo...
.. why? Just a regular GTG and this month, someone got the delivery of one of the last 5078P - but since there were other brands, I post this on HoMe.
New 5078P and my humble Lange Anniversary - looks like brothers, right? :-(
And here comes another 5078P owner who has owned it for several years - three brothers (?) shot.
Wow, and 002 with white strap - cool!
And Lyon, Bouchon cuisine.... Very nice in Kagurazaka.... Tokyo's sort of "French Quarter".
Sorry, forgot to take before eating - this was White Asparagus cold soup and white asparagus with trouffle sauce.
Homard lobster....
Chicken....
Close up of the new 5078P.
And here comes the comparison of the sound!
The old one (several years old), a bit slower but wonderful sound.
The just delivered one. A bit quicker with very constant rhythm with a bit louder sound.
Conclusion - they are both wonderful machine..... Envy with drool and sigh

Epic GTG
What a pleasure it must have been Ken to be able to experience these heavy weights and cuisine lyonnaise just sublime. Thanks for sharing it with us :-) S
Nice Ken! Congrats to your friend...
May I ask in the first video, the first guy says something like "the sound is..." or "...sound" while the second one says something like "chuutohanpa" then got cut off (probably referring to the pause in the minute repeater).
Well...
... to the first owner, his 78P is a bit smaller sound, while the second voice is of the second (new) owner and he just said that the time for MR testing was a bit less ideal. We did it on the actual time.
Perfection including your Lange anniversary.
Thanks for sharing beautiful pictures of some magnificent watches. Hubba, hubba! Kind regards.
Good idea to have taken this video of the Patek 5078P.
These MR are magic. Thanks for the sound file, too, even if it is hard to rely on youtube to fully appreciate the quality of the sound. As for the Langematik Anniversary, as always, fascinating! Best, Ken. Nicolas.
5078P
Is a dream watch of mine Congrats to lucky owners I like slower pace of old one more :) Thank you for sharing Sincerely Damjan
Very inspiring Ken!
To have friends with such good taste ( and deep pockets ) must surely add to the overall enjoyment of haute horlogerie, not to mention their willingness to share here. Thanks for taking the time to give us something to drool about. :) Best fernando
I like good food and especially if it looks that nice ...
but in that case when looking at those watches I would (probably) have forgotten to eat :-) Thanks my friend for sharing that amazing moments! Oliver
Wonderful posting Ken...
Sorry I wasn't able to join for this epic event. I think I know all the parties and am quite jealous. I love the individual sound of each of the minute repeaters -- it's nice to see their individuality based on age, parts, and construction by the master w...
wow what a surprise!...
a Bouchon Lyonnais in Tokyo, that's about how exotic you can get there I suppose!... we also go to japenese restaurants in Paris!...but I am not aware of a regional specialty one!?... Great!...thanks for sharing...cool videos of the PPs minute repeaters! ...
Minute Repeater get together - awesome!
Wow, 2 MRs in one place! Seems like it was a great gathering! I remember seeing a 5078P at one of the largest PP ADs in Tokyo. I wonder if the AD owner also participated in this dinner event.
Too much to handle!
Yes, drooling. Beautiful to the eyes and ears. I bet they even smell good :p And they are in good company - love the Langematik, too!
