Horological Meandering

. . . at Mr C's house.  It was our first since last February, with thirteen in attendance plus a few more that would've made it had it not been for unforeseen circumstances  - or, in one case, being in Hawaii. 

Mr and Mrs C kindly lent their backyard to host our gathering, so masks weren't necessary.  We ordered in from a nearby deli which Mr C picked up, while Mr A brought a few six packs and avocados to complement the deli sandwiches and salads.  

It was a clear day; your correspondent has little experience taking photos outdoors in direct sunlight, and consequently took only a few photos.

Mr J, who's been a member of our group since our second gathering in '05, brought his Parmigiani . . .

. . . and KV . . .

. . . among others.  I believe Mr L brought this indie . . .

. . . which I'm at a loss to describe.  (Note to self: next time, take notes.)

Mr M brought along his newly acquired Dornblüth 2010 . . .

. . . which inspired much agony and gnashing of teeth for yours truly, who should've bought one but didn't.

"From the sublime to the ridiculous" in one photo: a limited edition GO Senator 1845 belonging to Mr A . . .

. . . next to a Timex Mickey belonging to Mr D.  The four vintage IWC belonged to either our host, Mr C, or perhaps Mr E, who was accompanied by his assistant Miss F (seen in the background of the second pic).

Besides watches, Mr D brought along gang t-shirts . . .

. . . which were distributed to all who'd ordered them.  The club shirts were Mrs H's idea, which Mr D then designed and ordered last month.  Many thanks to both, especially Mrs H, as the t-shirts set us back considerably less than Plan B.  And what was Plan B, you might ask?

Cordially,
