Everyone had a great time, watches were amazing, food was excellent and wines superb.

Here are a couple teaser pics - one pic from each of the 5 Master Watchmakers

Hi Anthony,
You guys, thepuristsPro's, Bill & Thomas, organised a superlative get-together, the watchmakers have all commented to me what a great time they had meeting everyone. Bill's food and wine choices were superb.
Many thanks again,
Cheers,
Tim

food and wine, but glad I was able to make it at some point; the gathering of fellow PuristS, both in the audience, AND at the podium in the front of the room, was AWESOME.

It made a very rough period of time much more tolerable.

Thanks to everyone, I'm looking forward to seeing more pics and of course, seeing you guys take high horology to ever higher highs...

Thomas - Take care - Looking stronger everyday.

Anthony - awesome  pics as always.

Thanks to the Tim and the watchmaker for putting up with all us watch Geeks.

Bill

It was great meeting you and your wife.  Thanks for the history info on the club.  We took your advise and got a chance to look at the architecture on the ceilings in the other rooms, very fascinating.

We had a lot of fun and we are so please to have participated.

The next event will follow very soon.  We hope to continue to put on more and more events for the "Chic Watch Geeks".

It will only get better.  Everyone thanks again and keep an eye out for the next one.

See you all soon.

Bill


PS We had one hell of a set of watchmakers too....

This PuristSPro 40 person event set the bar for all future PuristSPro events, and this is our way of saying to the industry PuristSPro is here to stay , and we are making changes toward a professional approach in everything we do. 

I'm glad all the watchmakers told u they had a great time, and it makes my heart melt when not only our PuristS community grows stronger, but at the same time, we are able to spread word about these passionate watchmakers to other watch freaks across the globe.

PuristPro is about  passion, opinion, and information , and I'm honored to be a member of this hard working team.

Cheers,
Anthony

Anthony, Bill, Thomas, and Tim - You all did a fantastic job organizing the watchmaker dinner!  It was very well done and I thank you all for your time and efforts.  Great choice in the location and the food was perfect. 
We had the honor of joining Stephen McGonigle at our table and it was enlightening to listen and learn about  the details of his timepiece.  The Q&A session was entertaining and it was interesting to hear about each watchmakers experience and thoughts on various issues.  Personally, I found it very heartwarming to hear about the passion and detail they each have in their work and how their watches are describe as works of art. 

I can't wait until the next event. 

Thanks again!

A big thank you to Anthony T. for setting it up, Bill and his wife for arranging the exclusive environment we were in, Tim for getting the watchmakers in one place, and of course to Jedi Master Thomas Mao.  It was spectacular to be able to see these time pieces in person.   Great seeing familiar faces ( SteveH hope you are enjoying the BR03, AV flew in from Atlanta just for the event, and Art hopefully we can get to Laguna Seca next year!)  and meet many new ones( welcome Panerai Kamy M.).  The insights from the watchmakers were interesting.  It's amazing what you see Purists bring out and how knowledgeable they are.  Great times and thanks to all those that made this possible.  -MW
