Our first 2020 Parisian GTG with our new member Waitlisted!
amanico
James, aka Waitlisted, decided on a " coup de tête " to come for a few days in Paris and asked if it was possible to meet some local members.
And some very cool watches, such as this Konstantin Chaykin I wanted to see again ( one of our friends already showed it to me some weeks ago during another GTG ). Funny, cool and original.
The very popular Ming:
My first attempt to take a lume shot, with Rascal' help, on a Ressence.
Very special, I must say, but I prefer the lume shot, which is spectacular.
And the very famous FPJ Chronomètre Bleu... I really like this tantalum case!
And the movement, which is truly eye catching.
After a few phone calls and private messages, we could organize something spontaneous with the usual suspects which was quite a performance since it was Xmas Holidays.
At the notable exception of Fx who couldn't come, we had James, Bill, Mahesh, Rascal, Mike H and myself, plus 2 wonderful wives, N and I.
A nice place, known by some of you:

There were other watches, of course, but our guests will certainly post pictures of what they saw during this event.
As always a great moment of camaraderie, friendship, and the pleasure to meet some new friends, such as James, around some nice drinks and good food.
Merci, James, for coming!
All the best,
Nicolas

Oh yes you would have loved it 😉 Many things would have been at your taste specially watches...

Nope sorry not this time I had my phone only with me but no camera, and it was of no use in this darkness . However a pic I made few days ago of a watch you know well and was one of the topics of discussion last night ...

Yes what a dial... A pity that the pics loose so much resolution when uploaded because the detail of the two guillochés patterns on the main dial and sub counters is very nice and has been lost here...

Hands on review of the Ming 19.02 Worldtimer

It's been a long time since I wanted to write about a Ming watch. Simply because I really like the project developed by Ming Thein and his 5 acolytes. Ming Thein is a photographer and designer based in Kuala Lumpur who has a great managerial and consulting experience thanks to his professional background. And it is primarily as a watchmaking fan and collector that he had the ambition to create his own brand.
