Horological Meandering

As the original conceiver of this concept, I'm honoured to have the support from the fellow purists in Hong Kong for this event.   It was a fantastic evening spent with very good friends, plenty of fantastic pieces and most importantly, purist form of horological meandering 

Huge thanks to DarylT for his help and the arrangement of professional photography.

First off, the venue:  exquisite setting and magnificient ambience:

Great help from Anna for this perfect setup and service!!!

How can we NOT have obligatory group shot w/ wrists raised?

Wait, where are the watches?  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here we go: 

Anybody want to take a shot at identifying the pieces? 

Alright, enough teasing, straight on to the pieces:

.......................................... OK, I just find again my breathe to type these words...
Impressive, all the big pieces are here, just below my eyes, like in a Museum...
All here, in Hong Kong, and me in Paris...Bouhouhouhou....LOL
I want to thank you for the quality of your pics, the give justice to these time keepers.
Best, Jester, the King of Perpetuality!

Thanks for the post & pics, Alec....typing this while shaking my head in disbelief!

Kong

Just looking at the table, there should be 40 people there.

Thanks for the pics.

Each with four watches.  I would venture to speculate a few of them arrived wearing more than one watch.  But which came in the green pouch? Did one man bring a woman’s watch? 

 

Great celebration,

 

Helen

Most impressive line up outside of any museum or watch fair!

Cheers!

Great pics and stunning collection of watches. Can't wait for IGOTT 2008.

...after looking at these photos.

Speechless, simply speechless...

Daryl, Thomas and the HK folks, looking fine as ever!

.....the room for the food?

So...

Which ones broke down?

Which ones changed nearest to midnight?

Which ones could be read by middle-aged guys with presbyopia?

 

Regards, MTF

I've stayed at that Four Seasons and remember the food being excellent as well.  Is that the place where they give you golden chopsticks?

Why so few people in the picture and so many watches??

What a post! Awesome pics! Looks like a very successful night.

I couldn't beleive my eyes when I saw that table shot!

Andy.

You guys are great. Thanks for sharing your amazing evening.

Yes, I am perpetually dizzy when I saw the table overflow by those precious pieces. So many of them.. tsk tsk tsk.. yet attendance is a small fraction of total head counts.. and none of female species is seen..hmmm.. Since the table is spread all over with perpetual buffet, I shall take a pick of some perpetual 'dishes' that I like :

- L.U.C Lunar One, love the orbital moon phases.

- JLC Master Grand Reveil, love the sound of the mechanical alarm and the moon phases of the

   2 hemispheres.

- GG perpetual calendar skeleton, just totally love this for whatever it is!

- AP Equation du Temps skeleton, awesome and beautiful.

- IWC chronograph perpetual calendar with cream (light beige?) coloured dial, simply striking.        

(",) Thank you for such great feast to the eyes. Tastefully done!

Perpetually full,

Linda

 

Congrats to Jester, Thomas, and the whole community for pulling such a great event off...great pics DT!
