wrist shot of my latest aquisition from 1964
something we dont see every day, a Junghans Chronometer.
a particularly nice clean dial, great chronometer handwind movement, company long service presentation piece from 1964 and of course, a very good price 
static shot will be posted saturday as i'm meeting up with 2 crazy Belgian guys tomorrow.
Have a good weekend and happy chinese new year

Galore for Geneva
how appropriate You have sunny days my friend? And if I'm not mistaken this is your year ...year of Dragon! I can only imagine how your collection will blossom Best Damjan
Year of the Dragon, that sounds already much better than the year of the Rat. ;)
Fingers crossed, my friend. Thanks! Best, Nicolas
Doesn't matter what time...
The Pussy Galore is always stunning! Hope you had a great trip, my friend! Looking forward to see pics and read the reports... HAGWE Blomman
You're in Genéve...
You should be wearing a Patek! ;-D Hope you are having fun my friend. Best, -- Richard.
nice of you to show the watch it's origins
hope you had good time (but as a watch nut, how could you not?)! HAGWE, Andreas
Good friends, excellent wines, some nice watches, how could it not be good? ;)

timeless classic... forever young one!
... hope you had a nice trip back from Geneva! stefan
All nice, all nice, my friend.
A 3 days trip in Geneva is a somewhat psychedelic moment, with a lot of fun, friendship, and excellent time, detached from Reality. Best, Nicolas
My humble tribute to the Chinese New Year ...
The year of Dragon ... 1) Regular pic 2) BW Version 3) Stacked focus (see at the end) test 4) BW version Quick explanation about what is a "stacked focus" picture. Stacked focus is a process where we take many pictures, each one with a separate focus poin...
Awesome pictures Nilo
but that's not news coming from you. What Camera Lens combo you use? And of course thank you for puting your Chinese Horo sign in Another Dragon ....you'll be surprised to know how many among PuristS are Dragons and that might bed good idea to put Chinese...
I was born on the year of Tiger ...
Damjan, First of all, thank you for your compliments. I use a Canon 5D MK II and, in those pics, I use a Canon 100mm f/2.8 L macro lens (my favorite). For post processing I use Apple Aperture running on a MacBook Pro (quad core, 8Gb). Cheers, Nilo Note: A...
Happy Chinese New Year, Nilo!
Sharp pics of a sharp watch! So this is the "trick" to make deep focus... I have so much to learn..! HAGWE Blomman
Same to you Blomman and to all here ...
There are other ways to increase the DOF (Deep Of Field). One is to shoot with a small aperture (f/32 or so). Jocke is a master of this method. The stacking focus, on other hand, allows a precise control of what is in focus but requires that the object to...
Oh no ... my watches are too "pedestrian" but ...
Stay tuned... Surprises ahead ... not JLC but very rare stuff. Cheers, Nilo
Looking forward to seeing what you are cooking up for us ...
... and thanks for the great photos as usual. Always interesting theme, nicely captured and sharing some photographic knowledge can only make all of us better. Appreciated. Andrew
super pictures
for once I like the color much better, with the intense red making the point about the year of the dragon better to me. Have a good weekend, Andreas
Thank you ...
I agree with your comments about the B&W pics. The B&W pics (that I love, in general) looks, after the resize to post, a little bit "washed" and, for sure, a "dragon" requires strong reg. In any case, I need to perfect the resize step before uploa...
very nice shots for your AMVOX1...
... your pics remind me it is time to take mine out and wear it tomorrow. stefan
All the warmth of Romance last week Horo but
hard edgy and cold HOROlogical machines this week ? Have a great CNY. Cheers,dreamer
Howdy, nice to hear from you!
Thanks mate....Gong Xi Fa Chai btw, may the Dragon year bring you and family health and wealth. Best, Horo

a true romance on your picture that will be consumed any time Happy Chinese New Year mate best Damjan
Thank you matey, enjoy you trip down under.

nice shot, so which one you will be wearing, both on both wrists?
... btw, have a happy Lunar New Year ahead. stefan
HAGWE, Damjan!
Interesting watch and background. May I ask what artist/painting is in the back? HAGWE, my friend Blomman
It is Gustav Klim
my dear friend...picture is Death & Life The watch is inherited from my late grandfather watch is nothing special but have immense emotional value for me so the whole composition has deeper meaning that it can be seen at first Without trying to be pompous...
I thought I recognized the style…
Dear friend, then I guess this is the Atmos for you! HAGWE Blomman...
Absolutely !!!
but the one that would make it first on my fireplace mantle would be this year iteration .... Best my friend...
Just trying
to get another Masthead... You spoiled me dear Andrew Thank you for kind comment Best Damjan
Wish you all prosperous, success and good fortune…
On the Chinese New Year! HAGWE Blomman...
Very nice watch Blomman.
The problem is that you have so many JLC's I can't tell whether this is a new one. I have kind of lost track. Best regards, George
Thank you, George! :)
No, not that many. This is an old one, long before I joined the PuristS… But if it would help you I can send you a list! Best Blomman
So so so... Your first Military JLC? Something tells me it won't be too long before the
Second one! Bravo, this one is gorgeous! Best, Nicolas
No, no… Not new!
Hey Nicolas, Are you getting old?! This one you have seen before – an also in the metal! As for second… Best Blomman...
same to you!
I never cease to be amazed how many vintage JLC there are, and you seem to have them all.... Best, Andreas
ha ha, i have similar fortune coins too...
... when i was got married, my late father passed me these silver coins at day before my wedding. Blomman, where did you get yours? stefan...
What's the origin and story behind these coins, Stefan?
I see them appearing in many New Year pictures. Obviously some sentimental value, which I love. Andrew
Downunder
You got in before we were even awake, Damjan! And here's a restful nautical scene from down under (with a stacked theme for Nilo). Hope all of you celebrating the New Year of the Dragon have a great weekend. Andrew (the Dragon)...

Close to home ...
Taken at the St. Kilda Marina, Melbourne. Just a short stroll from the Stokehouse and Donovan's; lunch followed by photography. Polarizing filter, but no post processing. DLux4. The problem is that I look at the photo and wonder what it would be like thro...
Definitely wide angle lens perspective .
Great for scenic panoramic shots. No wonder no reflections with the polarising filter. cheers,dreamer

But still a nice copy. I am starting to see the charm in this, and you can really wear it with the dial 'upside down'. Appropriate I guess. Nice addition to the ding ding watches. A
