Great dinner. But why is Bernard petting the hedgehog?
Looks like a fabulous dinner with great attendees...
But one of the strangest attendees isn't a watch lover at all, it's an animal, a hedgehog.
But can someone please tell me what the hedgehog is doing at the dinner table? And why is Needles a celebrity hedgehog?
Curiously intrigued.
Grand Seiko dinner in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
(Report and photos by LiLing) Seiko and its local distributer Thong Sia Sdn Bhd kindly hosted a dinner for Seiko fans in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, earlier this month, in conjunction with A Journey Through Time (AJTT), a 10 day watch fair at the Starhill Gal...
Thanks SJX for the post..
the dinner was memorable - fab watches , delicious food and good company - the perfect end to a exciting year.
The last picture is adorable! Thank you, Li Ling . . .
. . . for sharing this Grand Seiko event. I suspect it's the first, but probably not last, time a hedgehog has held sway at a gathering of watch enthusiasts . . . cordially, Art

Needles likes to think of himself as a celebrity hedgehog
because there are so many pictures of him on the internet. OK that does not necessarily qualify him to be a celebrity but since he is young, cute and innocent, we usually humour him. You may view some of his pics on the Purists Travel Forum Kuala Lumpur h...
Please sign me up for Needle's fan club!
Wow! I'm looking forward to meeting Needles, and he's certainly got very good taste in food and vacationing. Sign me up for Needle's fan club!
Thanks for the post SJX.
That RG chrono is awesome! Is that in the regular GS line up? cheers fernando
I think Needles should have his own forum of cuteness!
Only on PPro will you find posts talking about great watches and featuring albino hedgehogs! Very cool! Looks like a fun gathering, and the food...wow! Fried bone marrow for me please! Cheers, Daos
Well, Needles does not have his own forum.. but he has his own
Facebook page. His wife Pins gave birth to 6 pink hoglets recently and you may view their daily progress here. www.facebook.com .php#!/needles.ong?v=photos Please feel free to add Needles to your list of friends :o)
Thanks LiLing for the report
I did not know you like Grand Seiko too. I thought it was only Audemars Piguet. Regards, MTF

Thanks to both SJX and LiLing for the invitation and report....
It was indeed a great GS GTG....great food, best Japanese watches and best Purists for company..., what more can I ask...nice to catch up with our SG Purists as well as the Seiko Reps...especially Kaoru Matsumoto of Seiko Watch Corp, who flew all the way ...
Thanks, Seiko, SJX, Liling and others for making this event a reality in Malaysia.
It was indeed a rare GS event in Malaysia. Excellent choice of venue for the event . Great host. Nice surprises - including the BIG quartz presented to Bernard by Seiko's representative and guests were invited to sign autograph for Seiko. Old and new face...
Thanks Seiko for the dinner
and LiLing for the arrangements. Now I know where to get great Italian food in KL. Thanks Bernard for sharing the romantic story of how Seiko "grow" their own quartz crystal to be used in GS spring drives. One will never look at Spring Drives the same way...
Thanks to LiLing and SJX for the report...
Looks like everyone had a great time. PS: What did Needles the Hedgehog eat? Or did he partake of the banquet as well? Regards, Richard.
