Horological Meandering

Table shots are a tradition at watch get-togethers the world over; a way of remembering who was there and with which watches. Table shots are posted all over PuristS, but I thought it would be fun to bring our favourites together in the one mega-thread. S...  

Quite an amazing table shot... kudos to the guy who came with the Accutron!!!

It's an electo-mechanical engineering wonder. And way before its time. ...  

... I visited a preowned dealer in NYC and saw several Accutrons that gave me that usual, "One day I need to finally pull the trigger on one of those" reaction.

only goes to cement the unsuspecting viewers' viewpoint about the madness of our hobby. For the rest of us, this is inspiration and even a cause for excitement and celebration!

We are vintage crazy down under. To the point where we sold mordern pcs to fund watches with rusted dial. Best Iceman

... vintage is so popular in Indonesia. I find it fascinating that different cultures are attracted to different types and styles: independents, sports watches, diamond encrusted, modern, etc. Of course there is huge overlap, but there does seem to be som... 

I would say that indonesia culture does have something to do with vintage being more popular. As a country, we are very much multi cultural. And quite a long history. Our culture is rich in tradition and tradition and art usually comes hand in hand. Vinta...

... of watches. All very special in their own way. It must make for interesting table conversation. Thanks for sharing them. Andrew

and I hope you don´t mind the very bad light situation. It was all I could do, but it was great fun to see all those independents - at least most of them. Pictures taken, only a few weeks ago. Cheers, Oliver ...  

... to pick out the fantastic watches within. Funny that I was just lamenting to Blomman that many of these table shots are taken in bad lighting at the end of the evening. The IGOTT2 table shot was done on the last evening of the 4 day extravaganza at th... 

Here is one from an informal GTG.... Best Blomman ...  

Lovely to see something different to the watches layered over a table. I am thinking of a mega wrist shot with all wrists within the one image - something like a horological game of twister! The difficulty can be the most GTG occur in dark restaurants aft... 

Another happy moment! :) Best Blomman ...

Looks like you had a great time! :) Best Blomman

Great to see the rare pieces in these table shots and love seeing all those Droz pieces in the first pic. The brand is so under rated!

It was quite a grouping, elegant watches. Cheers, Tim

Dear friends that joined me that day, a purist or two... Cheers, Tim

And is the perfect masthead for HoMe. Thanks for the photos, Tim. Andrew

Our London Christmas GTG RobCH's and my SIHH Independents Dinner Cheers Andrew ...  

With fellow watch collectors who have become dear friends to me. Enjoy! Cheers Robin ...  

... AD you would be hard pressed to get them all together in one place. That's the fun of these GTG, and you get to talk about the ownership experience with someone who knows the truth, not a salesperson trying to sell you a watch! Love it, thanks. Andrew...
