"You Jump, I Jump" : Perpetually PuristS 2009, Singapore

28 February 2009, 9:30pm

The day of "You Jump, I Jump" is here again.  Would you be jumping with us?

Over here in Singapore, it was raining cats and dogs. 
We wonder how many would brave the rain to attend the 'fellowship of the jump'. 

While we wait for the first to arrive ....



A glimpse of the venue.... Keppel Island (located off the main island) ...


Connected by a 250m bridge ...


The marina....





The quiet wet walk-way ...


Walking to the bar .... seemed to be drizzling...



Our original venue, outside of the bar...




Arrived at our meeting place ....Prive.



Our new ground.  Indoor.





With a special bright lamp to view tonight's JUMPERs 
 


Ordered a cool Mojito ...and wait for the first soul.


A view just outside our original beautiful outdoor venue.


A few pic of one of the early Jumpers while waiting ....


PPro ABR with the Ulysse Nardin +/- GMT Perpetual Rose Gold  LE



Another pose ...


At last, our friends arrived ...


All smiles ...



Oh!  A lady member stripped down a PPro ABR.  Hey!  It's water-resistance but not FIRE!


* The venue was illuminated with candles...so it was dim.  Flash was used to take the pictures so everything looked bright



She is good, assembled the the ABR with no sweat!




A wristshot of some of the star JUMPERs ...


Some closer shots of the Stars ....


Breguet Classique Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon #3757


Simply stunning!












Gerald Genta Perpetual Calendar with Moonphase Automatic Yellow Gold with the Ulysse Nardin +/- GMT Perpetual Rose Gold LE




Closer look at the nice UN ...






Wait a minute ... a novel way to view a watch!  With a Light Up Lip Gloss!





Seiko Perpetual Calendar




It glowed like mad!


Another star, the Patek Philippe 5059








A glimpse with the half-hunter case open...






A RUNNER instead of a JUMPER ... Patek 5070







Interruption .... Time Check 11:45pm ....


Crossing over ...









Hey... a L.U.C Lunar One just joined us!






The date has transitioned ... the rest - day, month to come...



A couple of snacks to ease the JUMP-OVER ...






Another Update ....


Month & date seemed to have crossed over ...



Day started to shift ....


Date & month in transition


Only date shifted... the rest should jump at one time ... or not?



Piaget Coussin Perpetual Calendar Dual Time Zone Automatic has completed the jump.



GG has completed too.


Seiko still pending ...



A short break ... a couple of wristshots ....


For sure it's not my wrist/s





Back to viewing again ...


L.U.C Lunar One still intact ...


UN touched down.





Approaching midnight  soon  ....the remaining three, staying or Jumping over?





Not crossed yet!


I heard a roar! ....


The L.U.C - month, day and date jumped at the same instance.  Marvellous!!


For the ultimate TWO ....









Oh! we missed the Seiko... immediate jump from '28 to 1'.



12:08 am .... waiting for the retrogrades to swing!!





12:12           Day changed.





12:18




12:20  Breguet crossed over!


The retrograde returned from right side to left.



12:21 ...




12:22 ....




12:26 Alas, crossed over!


The date retrograde did not swing back from right to left (anti-clockwise).... it swept from '31'  to '1'  through the clockwise arc!



Annual Calender Patek 5135 crossed nicely too.




For those who braved the rain, thank you for making the effort and wearing some great pieces to show us.
