Horological Meandering

Perpetually PuristS 2012 - Seattle - Jon Zhang (Z3) I always have a special, warm and fuzzy place in my heart reserved for the last day of February... Why is that? Watches with simple calendar date wheels (e.g. your typical Rolex) have calendars that go t...

I sure do miss the NYC events!!! Tony

you just have to come to Seattle next February=) Hope you have a moment of horological reflection on the 29th of February. Cheers, Jon

Thanks for the show from a far flung outpost in PuristS-land. It looks cold out there. maybe that's why you guys set the watches forward by a few hours. Here in the tropics, we just like to sit past midnight, imbibing both our drinks and watches in the ba... 

Jealous of the tropics now. you certainly wouldn't want to stay outdoors last Wednesday in Seattle's at midnight - it was cold and also quite windy. Glad that you find it cool=) Jon

How's the performance of the 2 German watches? Regards Ling

But Glashutte in general rarely fail on me when it comes to perpetual jumps. Jon

Hope all is well and that your Ulysse Nardin Perpetual GMT made the proper jump, Jon

And a very impressive collection of perpetuals too. I hope you Seattle'ites (is that the correct word?) get together more often. Cheers, Anthony

Yes I just found out recently on Wikipedia, that people from Seattle are indeed referred to as Seattleites. Seems like we are all set to build this event into an annual February tradition. Jon

Thanks first for the pictures of Seattle ! I don't think I will be able to visit it one day so I appreciated them. Secondly, thanks for the comprehensive report. An other impressive gathering of watches and a cool atmosphere. Surprised and happy to see Fr...  

The dish you are referring to is "Buttermilk fried free range chicken" - a decadent delicacy that is crispy and flavorful on the outside, and extremely juicy and tender on the inside...ummmmmmmmmm~

Nice pieces on that table. Thanks for sharing. Vte

Yes, keep it up and soon you guys will be just like Singapore! Cheers Stephen

I've heard some great things about you from my friend Ken, hope to see you in Asia sometimes soon. Jon

Without you, it would be too cold to take these Space needle and the fountain shots=) We would definitely have more events well before Feb 2013. Cheers my friend, Jon

glad you guys had fun. Especially appreciated seeing some of the rarer pieces like the Vilas. Best Andreas

Thanks for the report z3. Looks cold, but doesn't matter since you had so many cool watches to play with. I'm not familiar with the Franc Villa line and was interesting to see the perpetual calendar. Regards, ED-209

For your lovely report & photos.

Thanks for the great coverage of the evening and some views of Seattle. Some interesting and varied pieces on the table, and I'm sure the night would have flown by. Pleased to see such a nice group of local collectors. Regards Andrew
