I took the JLC moderation almost 6 years ago ( 3rd of january 2008, if I remember well ), and lived so many crazy moments, with the brand and with you. I revisited my hard disc and fell on these pictures, which all represent a lot. Before being a moderato...  

It is great to see them brought up again. For a moment there you gave me a scare! Please continue with your excellent moderation work here. Best regards, Ruckdee

What about a gathering in your part of the world, for 2014? Best, Nicolas

And if I can make it, surely I will try to be there to meet all forum friends with whom kind words have been exchanged for years. Ruckdee

Friends. You are always welcome here, Ruckdee! Keep me updated! All the best, Nicolas

I wish I had discovered this site all those years ago. What a fabulous journey you must have had. Cheers to the passion never fading. Dean

There are many more pages of the book to write! Best, Nicolas

Hi Amanico, Please accept my congratulations and gratitude. Your work here helps the rest of us enjoy our passion/hobby at a totally different level. I can not imagine what it would be like without your insight, energy, humor, photo skills, willingness to...

Maybe a trip in Asia is in the tube, by the way. So we'll certainly meet! Thanks for your moving words, W72. It is also a great pleasure to have you here among us! Best, Nicolas

It's an impressive job you are doing as a moderator. You insprire me - and I guess all of us - with your love and dedication for the Grande Maison. Keep up the good work for many years to come. Allways welcome and all the best for you and your family in 2... 

And I MUST say, you've done a great job filling shoes that were worn by JAW and DJE. Commendable! -Dean

Our JLC forum would look like it is, nowadays. That is so true. A forum is a matter a Community. Without Community, speaking in the Desert, you do nothing. That is the superiority of a Forum, versus a Blog. Thanks for pointing that essential thought! Best... 

or sending us a message with this post? Hope not. It's only been six years and about 74,000 posts, which is only the tip of the iceberg I imagine. :) In all seriousness, I owe you a great debt of gratitude for your very warm welcome when I first started t... 

But to answer you, no, I don't leave the JLC moderation, not for the moment. I feel I can still play this role next year, at least. There is still so much to say, write and share. ... And to make you fall for! :) Aaah, some good news, now: A trip in Asia ... 

Fortunately the work we do as moderators is work we enjoy! THank you for all of the great work you've done for us and JLC over the past six years. This forum would be different without you!

We have some strong links with the brands we moderate, IN TOTAL independance, a point that the brands accepted in a fair way. We are also linked to our amazing community. And we are part of a strong and competent team. What more to ask? It is all about fu... 

Thank you again Nicolas for being a part of that fun, passion, friendship, and knowledge. It's a privilege to know you.

But with Passion, it is not a too heavy burden... Thanks, my friend. Mutual pleasure. Really. Best, Nicolas

Sure sounds like fun, and we do get a lot of fun reading and sharing the articles and posts from you. Looking forward to a lot more.

I remember our first encounter at the JLC-boutique in Paris in september 2008 still very vividly :-) ... a true French movie :-) ... . From day 1 we met you shared you deepest secrets with me, i will never forget that mon ami ! LOOOOOL Congrats on your 6 ...  

Knowing you, and being your friend is all due to Watchprosite. Best, Nicolas

Moving and profound moments. I am happy to say I was there to share a few. We don't thank you enough for your great work, so a million thanks and I can't wait for your next post! Best to you Sir, Tim

No message body

Unless I have to go back to the Manufacture for something special... ;) Thanks, Mark, for your kind words. Best, Nicolas

6 years goes by so fast, and here's to many more! Cheers, Anthony

Nicolas- I bet they passed by quicker than you thought possible. I did not know you that long, only about 2-3 yrs so thank you for allowing me to travel back in time with you. Thank you for the many great reports on not only JLC but other forums. And one ... 

Nicolas my friend, I can just add to that great series of pictures and memories that I have no regret to have left the JLC moderation when you see all that you have done during these six years. Your passion seems limitless, your involvement and consecutiv... 

We had, and we will certainly have some great moments, my friend. Great moments of passionate discussions, and something tells me that we'll have a great one, soon. But the most important is that we met. Watches are more than watches, when we don't forget... 

Has it been that long? Still remember our first face to face in Paris at Brasserie Lutetia! To years of even more good times, cheers Nico! :) -MW

As I wrote to Dje, the very good thing is that we met, we broke th virtual border, and we became real friends. Here, in Paris, or in So Cal. All the best, my dear Ming. Nicolas

What to say...wher to start.... I think I started following puristpro around 5 years ago....hmmm can t remember exactly,because of two brands one of which,JLC,became very dear to me as my favourite big brand...... The influence on me of this forum,run in ... 

It is always a pleasure to seeyou, to speak with you. Your passion and dedication for the brand is undisputable. AND I can always count on you to feed the battle for the Duometre! ;) All the best, Nicolas

The most beautiful thing in the pictures is making you remember the beautiful days, the photos expressive and significantly on the situation that you are going through in this time. I wish you good health and be happy all your time my friend (Nicolas) Tha... 

I almost panicked when I read your subject line thinking that the post was a goodbye (it seems to me that goodbyes not infrequently start with a tenure reference). Thank goodness it was just a reminiscence, and a great one, of good times on the forum and ... 

These years have been rich, in terms of human and horological emotions. I don't know what the future will provide, but I am confident that 2014 will be an interesting years, with some good moments to live, again. Thanks for your very kind words, John. All... 

This place fits you like a glove. My only wish that one day we can meet in person. Congrats again

We know each other since how many years, now? 10 years, almost? This have been a very long road, indeed. Aaah, as for your wish, which is totally shared, with a bit of luck, we may meet next year, in 2014. A trip is in the tube... All the best, Nicolas

..

Hi Nicolas, telling from the pictures a moderator's life cannot be too bad! I have been around for a few years only and did not share many "live" moments so far, but still I know very well what a special place you make the JLC forum. (I have to see how to... 

December 2009, in the dark and cold Paris... An old strret, a Watch dealer... Then, the madness. ;) Yes, Spring is perfect for a visit in Paris. You are ALWAYS welcome, Martin. Thanks for your kind words my friend. Best, Nicolas

I knew it was December 2009, but when I read it written down by you I realize that it has been exactly four years by now! That is much tooooooo long. I have to get some train tickets! Have a great holiday with your lovely family! Martin

Fantastic post Nicolas, and what a great journey. I still have fond memories of our first meeting in late 2008 in Paris along with DRMW and TM, great food and awesome conversation. Then IGOTT2 in Vegas, and of course your visit to SoCal this year with tha... 

Come back to Paris! All the best, Nicolas

It brought back many memories. 2007 was the year I found JLC as well, although for me it was in October, and your moderatorship (nice word!) was instrumental in my education. As always, thank you for the education and the good times. Best always, respo

Cool to see that 6 years after, you are still here, with te Passion burning you, or Inside of you ( up to you to choose the most convenient formula. ;) ) Thanks for your kind words and for your friendship. Nicolas

Hi Nicolas, Thank you so much for the last six years, and an extra big thanks for all the help and assistance that you have given me. Here's to the next six years :-)

Such as many other opportunities we had to share, in a more virtual way, indeed. Thanks for your friendship, and for your presence here, my dear friend. All the best, Nicolas
