With the exciting news of Jerome Lambert returning to JLC, I was reminded of two of my favourite posts ever on the Purists, namely two related posts from 2009 by Dje about the tale of his and Nico’s trip to Le Mans, courtesy of JLC. A lavish trip involvin...

At least now there is a chance for these good times to come back. No pressure on Jerome!

As Salman says, that’s a great picture of the watch. All the best, Jon
