Now here are some pictures of the amazing watches.
Tourbillon . . .
Serpentin . . .
Engraved . . .
Quantieme Perpetuel . . .
and Tourbillon again.
Purist's not only listen to Peter speak, but carefully observe his watches as well.
Maria . . .
John . . .
Steve . . .
David . . .
Christine . . .
. . . and Mandy.
There were moments of hilarity, like when Mitch told Tim . . .
"I'll give you the Bears and 10 points for this Piccadilly." Tim wisely demurred.
Contrary to expectations, I'm not rubbing my hands in glee that dessert has arrived . . .
. . . rather, I'm praying for a Quantieme Perpetuel.
So what do good Purists do when the dishes are cleared and it's time for the long-distance travelers to return to their abodes? Obviously . . . an after-hours party!
Here, Dr. Mitch is trying to hypnotize Peter into relocating to Orange County . . .
. . . while David and Anthony enjoy an evening away from their better halves - but not too much, right, guys?
Peter is on his way west across the Pacific on the final leg of his round-the-world tour. We wish him the best in his future endeavors, and we're glad that he was able to spare some of his precious time with us.
Cordially,
Art

Hi, Alex, It is a stunning piece, but already bought by a collector (hopefully we'll see it at future PuristS' events! Kees also did the Phoenix piece (I don't remember the name) and if I remember correctly, that piece uses the Maki-e process, and is stil...

Kees did the "Fighting Time" dial from Peter's original design. Kees and Peter are friends, whom collaborated on this unique piece. The back of the watch has the name and Speake-Marin name with serial number all hand engraved by Kees, there is no machine ...

Always an enjoyable group to get together with. Thanks to all those involved. Anthony, your pics came out fantastic given the lack of lighting there!
I also want to give a big thanks to Art for taking the time to write the text
