Horological Meandering

Last week, I had the pleasure of taking a Caribbean cruise with my Family aboard a Carnival ship. I had not been on a cruise ship in almost 15 years, and forgot how enjoyable it can be. I imagine we have a lot of members here who enjoy cruising. For those...  

I have helped a few friends before but this time it was really special. And the woman asked most of the questions. I guess I will apologize to the husband when he finds out how expensive her new found interest can be ;-)

I've got it! IGOTT 2016 should be on a cruise ship! Ziplining, rock climbing, skeet/trap shooting, etc. Lots to do! And presentations on a cruise ship! Do they have a go kart session?

I've done one cruise once. A very inexpensive one from Miami to the Bahamas. It was a corporate "training" seminar. I think it'd be a good idea to do a cruise. Lots of drunk passengers at night though, night turns into Mardi Gras.

Wife does not fly and heck, 9 month old car only has 2500 miles. I feel the need, to speed to N O. She also will NOT get on a Cruise Ship!!!!!

If the next IGOTT is indeed held on a cruise ship we can arrange for multiple speakers every day! Thanks for reading the post.

I was just thinking about the very topic - with the rise of topical and niche presentations onboard cruise ships, I was wondering when watch appreciation and collecting would make it onto the subject list. Not surprised how the presentation you attended w... 

Old clocks Fascinating talk on Grand Seikos Lovely watch shop We got lots of personal attention from the manager who was bored most of the time. Maybe it was the destination, or the cruise line - but our experience in Japan on Princess Cruises was pretty ...  

...PuristS should give them ...maybe you'll get a free fare in exchange :) Always interesting to read about mass perspectives on watches.

I must admit, 7 days at sea... I was glad to engage my passion for horology w/ this seminar, visiting stores, and talking with folks. Part of why we are all PuristS. No matter where we are, who we are with, or what the circumstances are, we can always enj...
