St Gallen - PPro ABR Contest -- The Results Show!
Fellow PuristS, The contest ended at 23:59 PDT 31 July 2008; contest rules and background reading clues: click here The scores are in and tabulated. The judges have pondered, debated, and cogitated. We used our fingers and toes to tally the plus and minus...
Back from the break
Before the 'break', we left with 4 finalists in the running for the prize - a regular St Gallen Disinfectable Rescue watch. They were: kimlee, 41northpole, Z3 and LeonDNumidia. The contest answer is 31 changes! (count them) ‘PuristSPro All-Black Rescue’ c...
Congrats, 41northpole.
The PuristsPro ABR looks a lot cleaner and all I can say is that no regret. Job well done, MTF. Regards Ling
Congratulations! And a question
Is the documentation for the watch going to instruct us in its use? For those non-medical personnel among us? Were there any changes in the printed materials? Thanks Mike
Answer: Yes
there will be general instructions booklet that applies to all the Rescue family of watches. After all, ABR=All-Black Rescue. I'm not answering the 2nd part of the question as it may spoil the fun Regards, MTF
41northpole away on vacation
Forumners, I just found out that 41northpole is away on vacation -- automatic e-mail answering service I don't know what to do in these circumstances....... [mwah ha ha] Usually at PuristS' lucky draws, if a name called is not present, we draw another nam...
Even if he's on vacation, I bet he is checking PuristsPro regularly.
Don't be too quick to give away his prize. That PPro LE is really something! I'm very impressed by both the amount of thought that went into it and by the final result. I look forward to receiving mine.
kudos go to MTF and the many unsung individuals...
who really took the time to look at the original proposal, deconstruct the intentions, spirit, and purpose, both of the watch itself and the intentions and spirit of the original individuals who conceived the project, and put the pieces back together to a...
Thanks to the "unsung PuristS"...
...and to all who had a hand in the [clearly extensive] modification of the watch. It seems that every modification is logical, sensible and 'adds to', rather than 'subtracts from', the aesthetics and the engineering of the piece. Well done! It is tantali...
I am very happy with what I see…
Thanks to all who worked on this final design. The dial less busy and easier to read. The 24hour markings are useful in the clinical environment, but probably less useful for civil functions. The identification of the pulsometer and respiratory rate scale...
congrats 41! do you know someone at the factory :)
in actual fact most praise should go to the purists who persuaded St Gallen to make one for us and to make so many changes so that we get a very special piece indeed. i cant wait, when are they coming?? Graham
Thanks to all
To everyone on the thread, many thanks for your kind words. I do feel privileged to have won the watch, and can confirm that Melvyn did keep it open for me to claim the prize, for which I am very grateful. Now all I have to do is wait!!!! Regards, Tim
Tim, if you want...
Tim, if you want to pass it around the small number of UK members so we can give an overall impression feel free :) well done Tim, its people like you who made the british empire(and people like me who ruined it no doubt) best regards from an unusually su...
