Purists Special Watches?

 
 By: m2 : September 1st, 2021-00:51
Iā€™ve seen a few random brands do watches just for this forum. Is there a list of them all? Just learned about the Chopard LUC done for the forum for example.

Yikes! We don't have a list!

There was a very small run of early Haldimann tourbillon timepieces. A PuristSPro ABR watch which there are a few left. There was a very tiny run of the "MB&F Chocolate Frog" that we made (one of my favorites). Two Ludovic Ballouard timepieces. A small r... 

Montblanc, too . . .

I'm glad that you told us. I didn't know. I'm thankful to all good people who help this forum run in a smooth and efficient manner.

It's a great place to be, if anyone is interested in watches per se. Thanks again. šŸ™šŸ™

It is indeed!

I wouldn't trade this website for all the minute repeaters I want in the world! It's definitely a team of passionate individuals who volunteer to keep this site running. And a very nice man who pays the bills. I'm thankful for the entire team as well! And... 

Iā€™m relatively new here, and hadnā€™t really given much thought to how this wonderful forum is financially maintained.

I just want to echo everyone elseā€™s gratitude for the sponsorship of the benevolent collector, and for the hard work of the moderators. Would love to find a way to contribute, as I spend most of my day here

But we should have more special edition WatchProSite watches!

We do have an awesome community. We've just never really tried to monetize this community. You look at other communities they're all centered around a business model and profit. This website isn't profitable, I don't know the figures, but I wouldn't be su... 

Awesome

Didn't realize there have been so many. Really cool!

Indeed! More than we probably realize!

We had our 10 year anniversary in 2011. So we had a bunch of watches made then. And back then, the brands were willing to work with us, since the watch industry was much smaller than it is today and because we were in a global recession due to the 2009 US...

Need to be listed in an accessible file/thread?

You're right!

We ought to commemorate our past! So we can see what we're missing for our future!

As long as everyone in our..

Community ican access, it is all good. Also must be a living document, as more WPS watches are commissioned. Perhaps one moderator could take on that task?

I am quite new
