Ubik's post captures a spontaneous gathering of WatchProSite members in London, highlighting the community's vibrant social dimension beyond online interactions. This report emphasizes the camaraderie and shared passion for horology that brings collectors together, often over fine dining. It serves as a reminder of the personal connections fostered within the WatchProSite community.

A quick report on an impromptu gathering to welcome Hororgasm to our British shores. It was a lovely and incredible evening, organised by Mo and with myself and GregD also present.

Deep in the East End of London Mo guided us to a little taste of Italy - better than my mamma's cooking - he promised.

Something not said lightly and I can say that the restaurant - L'Anima - did not dissapoint. Delicious, sublime, gorgeous dishes appeared all evening. A special selection from the chef who came out several times to talk to us and recount scandalous evenings spent with his friend Mo.

Thanks to Mo for organising such a delicious treat and to all the others who made it a wonderful evening.

As you can see we began the evening with a full restaurant and ended it as the last ones there.

The atmosphere of the gathering was palpable, suggesting a lively and engaging event for all attendees.
One member expressed regret at missing the opportunity to meet 'Horo' due to a busy schedule, hoping for a future chance.
The combination of nice watches, delicious food, and fellow watch enthusiasts created a truly enjoyable experience.
The event was a great way to welcome a 'PuristS roving ambassador' to London, despite the urban setting of Canary Wharf.
The London group provided a real treat, combining friends, watches, wine, and food for an ideal gathering.
The dinner beautifully complemented the watch and friends gathering, enhancing the pleasure of admiring watches in such a setting.

I guess that the diner, as it nicely looks, underlines the watch (and friends) gathering and the fact this is something we are glad you could live And admiring your watches in such a setting is a real pleasure ! Thanks for the share ! Best, Mark
