Dinner with "the boss"
Recently I attended a dinner to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the Reverso.
I would like to extend my thanks publicly to Richemont and JLC for organising this event.
The dinner was held in the dining room of a local castle on a warm Sydney spring evening. The tables sat 12 and were decorated to resemble the Reverso case. A chef was flown in for the event. Personally decorated chocolates were a nice touch, mirroring how the Reverso may also be decorated.
A plethora of watches was on display including the Gyrotourbillon 2. The unveiling of the Reverso Repetition Minutes a Rideau was a highlight. The timing of Monsieur Lambert's after dinner speech to the arrival of the souffle (very very delicious) was to perfection.
It was a pleasure to meet with Monsieur Lambert. As has been said before, he is a very warm, friendly, energetic and enthusiastic man. Learning about the Manufacture was very interesting. I enjoyed seeing his new release perpetual calendar.
It was also a pleasure to meet Alexis from JLC (SE Asia and Australia region).
The speech by our MC (former Australian Rugby Captain) John Eales, was entertaining.
I am sorry that I have no photos to share apart from this "after" photo.
JLC certainly knows how to celebrate in style.
Regards,
Richard.

richard , i hope you had a try of that
mt difficulty pinot noir on the menu , granted you aussies make great reds but that pinot is pretty good. Good call on alexis and also stephen from JLC, i would have been interested to see how they looked after jerome lambert dragged them along for a 20km...
I did and I enjoyed it.
I forgot to mention Stephen. I heard him mention that Jerome Lambert wanted to go for a run at 5am before catching the plane to NZ. I thought that was a joke! Regards, Richard.
Naah, this is not a jocke. He's really serious when he says that. [nt]

Superb picture, perfectly summing Horology ala JLC.
It seems that Mr Lambert is everywhere in the world, these days. Will we have a chancze to see him in France one day? Best, Nicolas.
Mais oui...
We only borrowed him for a few days. Looking forward to announcements regarding the Perpetual Calendar too. Regards, Richard.
