It was a trip not to forget
The only regret I have was not had the time to meet everybody.
The two crazy guys from Sweden, Jacko “Bad Santa” and Tony “Terminator”.. I´m gonna have nightmares for the rest of my life after meeting you… The PhD Thug man from Croatia who wants to adopt me to live there.. The military watches specialist from London (I pray for you house rebuild end in this century..), The Evil Dr. No and this crazy dreams about V8 muscle cars in USA… The elegant man from Italy.. The nice young man from San Francisco who flow 14 hours directly to the GTG….. Blomman and his endless patience to explain every detail… So many others…
And Thank you Nilo to invited me to this… I won’t forget..
This picture I took in the end of the night after the GTG, Me, Nilo, Tony and Jacko for a late meal and beer… It captures the spirit of the event.

My notes about the November 2016 London GTG ...
Team, I was there and it was just wonderful. I' not good with words and is hard to me to describe the trill that was to be able to meet so many Purists. Quick note: They are real people. Not pompous, not arrogant, not pretentious. Just good real people. W...
Such a pleasure meeting you
and so many other virtual friends as you say. And of course to see some old friends too. I fully agree with you that impressions were so plentiful that food and wine went to the background and I even forgot to take pictures. Some truly spectacular watches...
You described the way our purist friends in the best possible way.
Not pompous, nor arrogant, even the greatest collectors. Just friendly, humble, with a ton of knowledge and an indisputable passion for friends, life and watches. Happy to know that you met them. It was worth the flight from Brazil! See you soon, my frien...
When a GTG happens, just go....
I like that, and to meet, as you say, the nicest, unpretentious people on the planet. I\'ve met the best of people among our Purists on all my travels, and I agree completely with you.
Not a problem ...
We have our "Bodyguard" that can fix your pomposity with one hand. Welcome! Cheers, Nilo
Dear Nilo, it was a true pleasure meeting you.
I am very glad you have sacrificed yourself by flying from so far away. Also, I am glad I had the chance to speak to you a bit and get to know you better. I will join everyone else in saying that you have perfectly captured the spirit and the type of peop...
Christmas indeed came early for all of us this year
...and if somebody still don't know even if not good with words Nilo is true old stile gentleman Thanks for coming it was real pleasure meeting Brazilian gang Yours D
I can fully concur with everything you say
I unfortunately couldn\'t attend this one but every one I have been to - whether the large variety or meeting a single purist - has been a blast If you can go to one, you\'ll not regret it!
It was a plessure to meet you, the bodygard and the rest of the nice peple who was there!
I hope that we meet again )
Umm . . . I believe you're confusing me . . .
. . . for someone else, Nilo. I had nothing at all to do with organizing the event. It was all Joe's 'n Mo's doing (and possibly Imran, too), and, of course, yourself - the JLC boutique gathering wouldn't have happened without your intervention. All I did...
April, Paris!!
Count me in. About the organization, you put your cloud on there. Cheers, Nilo
Nilo he's Dr. No after all :))))
He's trying to confuse you about names of the cities where GTG will be
No direct flights . . .
. . . but plenty of connecting, including a few that connect in Germany. Just the ticket for a Glashütte guy!
It was a great pleasure to meet the Brasilian Boys! :)
Thank you for making the trip, my friend! A great pleasure to be lived again soon. Best Blomman
Fully agree! It's a special endeavor.
Personally I know I will try to attend all GTG since my first in Vienna!
Glad to see all your posts and pics!
heart warming and proud to see the Purist spirit going on strong in many parts of the world Cheers Robin

Not yet ...
TheBodyguard didn't had the honor to meet Vlad. Please, when this happens, try to not wash him with hot espresso. Cheers, Nilo
You have nightmares and we can't stop laughning
after a weekend with Laurel and Hardy.
Great to meet you as well
Thanks for your kind words on the house. Looks like things are finally underway. Although it may well end like "Mr Blandings dream house"
