The London GTG Nov, 2016
We landed excited at Heathrow.
And going in to the city.
A normal traffic jam I was told.
To me this is more like NYC but it's christmas and Bad Santa is here.
First stop to meet up with some friends was att Selfridge & Co.
We was early so we start with some body building.
After that we was looking at some German watches.
Next stop was at the Panerai display.
It's not enough to drive on the wrong side, they do it with a missing wheel too.
Outside there was some traditional music and you can see the lady really enjoy it.
Then he stop playing and point at one of our guys and yell: I know you man, you are the bodyguard.
Then it was time to visit the Jaeger-Le Coultre Boutique.
A short briefing before some watch inspections.
A few minutes later we was all over the place.
A nice and pleasant environment for the watchmakers.
Now we start the expedition JLC with a awesome Atmos.
This years highlight IMHO, unfortunately there was no one for delivery.
I guess we where at least 3 persons that grab after the credit card but we have to put them back again.
A really nice work.
The backside isn't bad either.
Some random pics from the displays.
A huge thanks to the JLC crew that let us in and patient answer all our questions.
Now it's time for some food and wine and of course watch talk.
There was som nice tables.
And of course the big table.
I'm really thankful to get the chance to be a part of this event and it was really great to meet you all.
A big kudos to the guys that set this up, it was a awesome weekend in London.
