My GTG pics !

As promised, please find below my European Puristspro GTG pics !

Sadly, I was not able to join our friends for lunch so I missed a large part of the event. But I knew that I was free for the cocktail and for the dinner... so I prepared my camera to be ready to shoot some pics...

Due to the Purists story, it was a sort of symbol that the afternoon cocktail took place at the AP boutique: we were warmly welcome by the staff of the boutique and it was a great pleasure for all the attendees to see and to discover some masterpieces of the brand. But as you can imagine, Puristspro members didn't come with empty hands and there were a load of impressive watches on the table !

After the cocktail, we had a nice dinner in a typical Parisian "brasserie" close to the Opera. The plate of the main course (beef cheek) was copious and hopefully, I came back to my flat with a 20 minutes walk...

So enough bla bla, here are the pics ! Again, big thank to all the attendees, to AP for the cocktail, to Nicolas for the organization, we all had fun !

QP Schaeffer:

You recognize the Frédéric Piguet 151 base which is perfect in this context:

Jules Audemars Grande Complication:

QP Skeleton:

Starwheel Jubilee, I love this wandering hours system in the Millenary case:

AP Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, a very impressive SS watch!

The atmosphere:

And the 4 Dalton brothers, well I mean the 4 french moderators!

Joe, Jack, Averell? Yep, the SS Governator was one of my favourite AP! A nice surprise, as I didn't know that watch at all. Another nice " connaissance " was this RO Perpetual Calendar skeleton in RG. Once again, thanks to the AP team for the impeccable a...

Thanks FX.

Those AP pieces look stunning. The RG Perpetual RO looks fantastic on your pics, the brushed finish is the most appealing thing from the RO collection to me. And the Jules Governor looks very cool. A pity to left Paris too soon. Best. Vte

Great that someone took the watches Now I know why they said you are 'as if working in the AP Boutique" after seeing the group pic....but you also look like the Manager of a Rock Band. The one in the middle(standing) looked like he would bite off the head...
