Good Times and Good Memories

As many of our members know, we had a wonderful WatchProSite meeting in the beautiful Vallee de Joux in Le Sentier at Jaeger-leCoultre.  If you haven't seen the photos...  Just following up to this wonderful post here...

What do you need to keep an army of WatchProSite members happy?  A big bottle of Scotch and a big bar of chocolate!  In one evening our small group nearly finished a big 1 liter bottle of Macallan Single Malt and a big 300 gram bar of chocolate.  Thank you to Amanico for organizing the wonderful Jaeger-LeCoultre Factory Trip!  It was an amazing experience!  And thank you to all of our attendees who made it an incredible experience!  Or Corsican brothers, our Californian who flew over a dozen hours, our German member who drove several hours during sky-high petrol price season, Yokozuna's emissary (thank you for opening my eyes and ears with that special repeater), our member from Denmark, another from England, and our many wonderful members from France and the rest of Europe.  I miss all of you already! 

Thank you to all the wonderful members whom attended!  It was a great pleasure.  And again, a big thank you to our magnanimous Amanico for organizing this epic trip.  For the WatchProSite members who missed this amazing trip - which was too short of a trip - I hope you can attend the next one!

were the perfect 'cherries' on the mega-cake Nico and the JLC staff had in store for us there . For me, it was both a tremendous pleasure, and a true privilege to spend a couple of days in that esteemed company. Thanks Patrick, I look forward to seeing yo... 

Cheers to you!

Thanks for driving out to us!

Ahh! I'd say it's one of the better Single Malts Scotch Whiskey...

And it's always meant to be shared with friends!

Yes, I loved it.

I enjoyed it immensely. And the company it was enjoyed with was even better!

Did you get some of the chocolate? The chocolate was exquisite too. Chocolate was slightly industrial - it was too smooth - but the flavoring and the fragrance of the toasted nuts and the cranberries and raspberries in the chocolate were perfect.

Ahh! Sans chocolate for you!

Some whiskeys have chocolate notes and butterscotch notes in them too!

Ahh. True!

Although with the fruitiness of this specific Macallan, it wasn't a bad combination.

It was a very good time that will remain engraved in our memories!

It was a true pleasure to meet you!

I hope to meet you again!

The Macallan was the glue bonding us all together that first evening!

A two-nights stay should be the minimum ! They have now a course on celestial complications... would love to try that!

I like the sound of this...

Maybe we ought to do an independent next time as well.

Most likely!
