Horological Meandering

I started a new thread because this was my first Purist GTG ever! It was so great to meet with the many Purists who share a passion for horology. I have not seen so many perpetual and annual calendars in one place at one time. This was an impressive event...  

Well done for the first-timer. Very well done. I hope you enjoyed non-independent watches as well Might I suggest to increase the size of the photos next time? Looking forward to more of your considerate posts. Best, Ken

Actually I wanted to increase the size but I just didnt know how..... any advice much appreciated!

... you should have a chance to choose what size you want to post them on after uploading finishes. You may test in on "Help Desk" forum, AFTER reading this Bill's easy instruction - helpdesk.watchprosite.com / Ken

Glad you enjoyed that girly BMOP resonance...

Which is your fav QP of the day? And which QPs has the most exact change in dates amongst all present. Best, Horo

By 12.15 am it had changed to the 1st. March moving progressively from the 28th,29th,30th,31st. and finishing on the 1st. It doesn't jump directly from 28th. to the 1st. like on the Moser. A nice recap of the evening & the watches present. Best fernando

The action was so fast that you can hardly be blamed for not noticing though!...  

I liked the way the RD didn't make its appearance until half way through the evening. But when it did, it made its presence known. An amazing hunk of watch and a fascinating contrast to the other perpetual, tourbillon repeaters on the table. Andrew

I will just call the Roger Dubuis BIG ! This RD was one of 3 tourbillon, perpetual, minute repeaters along with the AP Grand Complication and the PP5016. It was extremely funny to see the difference in size. Fernando has a side by side shot ofthe PP and t... 

The AP is a Grand Comp in slightly different way: Perpetual Calendar + Minute Repeater + Split Second Chronograph.

In fact, so fast that we may have all missed it; coming in the blink of an eye - the transition I mean. If I rememer correctly,didn't it also reach its climatic point .... prematurely? I hope a review of this complicated beast is in the works? I am actual...

Lots of Journes. The AP Jules Audemars Grande Complications is truly stunning. Nice pics and report, thanks for sharing. Best, Goh

Whoa those are awesome pictures and watches. I recently moved to HK, and would love to participate. How do I sign up?

Love those FPJs. Thanks for sharing.

I don't think that I have seen so many privately owned Journe's in one place You all must have had a fantastic evening.

Thanks for the great coverage. I thought I would add the non-Journe pieces to your thread, including a few wrist shots. I will do a Journe Mega Post shortly as the excuse for those pieces was to welcome my DS to the 'family'. It was great to meet so many ...  

Great to meet you that night and congrats on your excellent DS!

Thanks for the report Justin, and good to see you guys....... Things keep changing, and glad that watch nuts in HK are still crazy on watches. Hey, this is the first one we made 3 years ago ~ home.watchprosite.com Cheers ~

Thanks for the link, Daryl. I remember the thread well and the memories came flooding back looking at the photos again. I recognize a couple of recurring pieces - Journe MOP Calendrier, Parmigiani - and so many more great watches. You guys have all the fu... 

That looked like a crazy night! OK, you had significantly more on display that we had. But who can complain? look at the quality of the collection. We had a superb night too!
