Singapore: lunch with PuristS friends
I have finally found time to organise the photos from my recent visit to Singapore and enjoyed reliving the happy memories. Horo kindly brought a dozen PuristS together for a Sunday lunch and what a feast it was; not only in food but in conversation and watches.
Wonderful to meet you all and spend time sharing the horological passion. Some fantastic watches around the table – and thankfully everyone had a watch on each wrist (and Melvyn kept pulling them out of the bag) so there were no limb amputations required!
Hope you enjoy …

What a Gathering! :-)
If our own Dr. MTF and Horo were there you'll be sure to experience some Heavy Metal :-) Thanks for Sharing. S
It would have crowned the day for me ...
... if you could have attended, Ken, but as it was we made do OK. ;-) Next time. Andrew
Obviously you had a great time!
Who is the happy owner of the VC PLatinum Malte Chrono? I would like to see more pics of this Beauty! Best, Nicolas
Looks like a great gathering.
But am I right in saying Patek was a no show ? Surprising. Anyway, hope one day to have such a gathering in China. Dean
I don't think we felt like ...
... we missed out! ;-) A great selection of watches, independents, sports, classics. A superb time. Andrew
Ambience and culinary delights
PuristS lunched at a glamorous Marina Club on Sentosa Island. Delightful food finished off with a couple of great whiskies. My thanks again to everyone who made this day so memorable. Andrew ...
Good to see...
...that THIS time (so it seems), the drinks stayed on the 'lazy Susan' and the watches went nowhere near it! (Just teasing, Horo) :-) Cheers, pplater.
Think it was Peter who spun the lazy susan
And what a sight...a flying Urwerk!!! How are you mate? Best, Horo
You have a terrific memory Horo...
It was indeed Peter, and it was indeed the Urwerk which became a 'Flieger' - "the first Urwerk in Space". From memory, the Mighty Double Split was at risk as well, making the restaurant a real 'tourist trap'. :-) All's well here chum: it would be good to ...
What a moment that was!
That said, on the assumption that the Urwerk suffered no irreparable damage, I can say that it was one of those moments that makes these sorts of gatherings so memorable. The Mighty Double Split was none the worse for wear, and my momentary heart attack a...

Thanks Stefan ...
I didn't think I put the cameras down long enough for you to get a photo! Thanks for coming along, it was a great afternoon. Lots of fun conversation and watches. I didn't stop smiling for some time. Warm regards, Andrew
Always nice to see
PuristS gatherings. Interesting thing for me and very delightful I may add is that via PuristS reports you can exactly "feel" the GTG If possible I would like to know more about one after VC Platinum Malte Chrono Cheers Damjan
That is one hell of a lunch
That is an amazing selection of watches. Know for the head count. I bet there was 5 people present. Best guess. Bill
What a fantastic time, and report!
Thanks for this, Andrew! Having enjoyed the warm hospitality of Horo and the Singapore gang myself on two occasions, I can imagine that you had an absolutely splendid time. And what a collection of watches! Best, Gary
It was great to see you again.
and hope you enjoyed yourself. till the next time. best, Horo

To the western Pacific area to experience such an environment?
