Last week the Vienna based P15 owners met up with a mission of eating, drinking and talking watches. And of helping the penultimate Zenith Cronometro Tipo CP-2 Puristspro Edition hatch

Unfortunately not all the KuK members with the P15 could make it, so it was an intimate - but by no means diminished - affair.

Here's a picture of the P15 trio but I'm getting ahead of myself

When he had the plates cleared, the dessert proper got presented - below.

Surprising as that may be, one of us was still keeping his P15 in the original packaging, unopened. We were more than happy to lend a helping hand

Or three

And there it goes - the penultimate P15 (the one to be auctioned for charity is still sealed I take it) finally hatching.

And there is the lucky owner, finally holding what we can safely say is largely his brainchild in his hands. The smile may not be spreading from ear to ear but the joy was intense nevertheless

As said, that was the dessert proper, prior to that some other delicacies were consumed.

The last one already partially consumed

Like all GTGs, it has been a real pleasure. Meeting fellow Purists is one of the most pleasurable parts of our hobby, and should be done on a regular basis

Thanks to Magnus and HS111 for a perfect evening!

Key Points from the Discussion

The gathering in Vienna brought together P15 owners to unbox the penultimate Zenith Cronometro Tipo CP-2 Puristspro Edition, highlighting the excitement of new acquisitions within the community.
One P15 owner had kept their watch in its original, unopened packaging, leading to a communal unboxing experience at the GTG.
The act of keeping a watch sealed was debated, with one view suggesting it prevents the watch from developing its own 'personality' through wear and scratches, while another saw it as delayed pleasure gratification.
The host expressed a desire to gather all 50 P15 owners in one place, emphasizing the pleasure of meeting fellow Purists.
A member who couldn't attend expressed regret and hoped for a future GTG to double the number of P15s present.
The abbreviation 'KuK' (used by the author) was noted to have an unfortunate meaning in Swedish, leading to a lighthearted cultural exchange.

Thanks Bill!

Hope we will manage to get all 50 P15 owners into the same place at some point - would be a great pleasure to do so

Really cool mini GTG (a feast for the eyes and the stomachs). A P15 hat trick! You unsealed one P15 and gave life to it. What a great moment for Magnus! 👍

Best wishes Alkiro

Absolutely, Alkiro!

Been a great evening. But worry not, further Vienna GTGs will happen and not only with P15 participants
