. . . so his friends and admirers here on WPS held a gathering to welcome him and better half Sylke to LA.


David P and Dirk D . . .

I really like their watches. German independents modifying ETAs in general do some cool things. Dornbluth, Benzinger and Pikullik all spring to mind.

Dornblüth 99.1M . . .

Yup, that's . . .

What an amazing opportunity and event

To meet Dirk! I have owned DDS in the past, top notch watch and service and Dirk himself is a true gentleman. Looks like a fun time for all!

There's a documentary film on YouTube . . .

. . . well worth your while. The photo of Miguel at 1 11' 49" was taken by yours truly. On a sad note, Mikeal Maglieri passed away ten days ago. His son Mikeal Jr will be taking over the reins as a third-generation owner. Art

Don't tell me you're in So Cal! . . .

. . . we would've been thrilled to have another Dornblüth fan in attendance . . .

Must've rubbed shoulders with Ronnie James at least twenty times . . .
