Dirk Dornblüth was in town this week . . .

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

Dornblüth roll call, all.  Will post mine shortly.

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 . . .

. . . mine. Ordered four years ago, received after a six-month wait.

It was a great time and wonderful to see so many Dornblüths.

Thanks, Art, for arranging the get together. Cheers, John

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

I thought I had heard of it (Norcal guy...sorry!)...

I believe Roger brought the very same green 99.2 . . .

. . . to the gathering. Is it a limited edition?

I ordered it like that directly from Dornblüth. It‘s not defined as a limited edition, nor is it a standard piece, nor is it defined as piece unique.

From what they told me, I was the first person to order that exact combination. But there could be others, who bought the same afterwards.

We'll see you in So Cal soon, Nicolas! . . .

. . . just let me know when to make a reservation at The Rainbow . . .

I agree

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

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

Looks like a good time...

Too bad I was not in LA..

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

. . . back in the day, Michael. Never met him, but he was a regular at The Rainbow Bar and Grill. 🎤
