Horo congrats on your 10th anniversary
Mine is next year! Time flys!
I follow your instagrams account.. i am certain you own more watches than what your “collection photos” suggested. I bet you already lost count, haha..
Thank you for your contribution to the wonderful forum.
Cheers!

10 Years a Purists, 20 a Collector.....a HoroTale
Howdy fellow PuristS of the Horological Shire, this is somewhat a aggrandizement post as it is a sentimental one. Today, I celebrate 10th year on Puristspro. I actually joined the old PuristS forum in 2003/4, and was roped in by Dr. Bernard Cheong, a form...
This collection shots are the most scary I have ever seen
Thanks for your entertainment as well as serious input into this most magnificent and holy cabal known as the purists Long may you continue Julian
What can I say... I'm speechless
Your collection covers a large spectrum from independents to wellknown maisons. Congratulations and I can't wait to see your collection after another 10 years!
thank you sir.
stay tuned for next Monday, as i collect a Chopard LUC to "celebrate" my 10th. best, Horo

howdy! many thanks!
are you from Singapore too? let me know your IG nick. not many "old timers" from Singapore still visit the site, sadly. best, Horo
Ah dear Horo...
It is great to read your memoirs, however I think they are written only half way through your lifetime and plenty more to come I am sure... maybe this is just the first chapter? Thank you for the honourable orange mention... next time I see you I will cro...
Ah you already have one...
I only wear mine at the weekend... but you got a nice skirt/boot combo going on there Horo!
Congrats on the milestone, and thanks for your many contributions over the years!
You have always been a tremendous asset here. Do I spot a salmon dialed 25770 cased chronograph? I had not seen that before. Awesome!
Hi Horo, huge congrats on your 10th anniversary ! I still remember the large GTG in the Japanese restaurant of a Singapore hotel and you brought the...
Iron man mask and allowed us to play with it ! With the mask on, I felt invincible ! With all your impressive watches, are you amassing a large collection or are you a watch retailer !? Just kidding ! LOL ! Cheers, Gordon
howdy Gordon...hope all is well!
i almost forgot you were here!!! when are you visiting next? you around in HK in Dec? we have recently set up an office there. best, Horo
Hi horo, yes I am based in HK and going to ...
SG in late December ! GTG soon ? Cheers, Gordon
sadly, I will be in London and Rome for Christmas season with the family....
I am planning with Robin, Stefan and Kong a possible early Dec GTG, if you can make it.... best, Horo
What a post and what a guy
We have never met but your past posts have influenced my collecting. Love the playful and down to earth nature you have, despite having the "toys and collection" that would inflate an ego. Great post and congrats on 10
Fantastic & fun tour of your memories
I am totally convinced by the watches-on-ladies-ankles. Definitely should be a weekly thread! -joe
Did you see this, Blomman?!?!
You're an entertaining writer and story-teller, Horo. This was a joy to read. Congratulations on your Anniversary!
Congratulations and Thank you for being a inspiration for watch collecting! I must show your post to my "boss" , hahaha....
I'm still super far away from being a collector. That is, by far, the most incredible collection I've seen in my life now....what an eye opener! How you can maintain or take care of all these? To be honest, I just need that Lange case, and I'll rest and p...
I believe it's a good collection, In terms of diversity....
But it falls short on some key metrics, that I have seen in other collections. Like HTSE's ensemble of militaries above. Some collectors friends if mine have a full vintage Rolex line up or some crazy number of Pateks. Nevertheless, I am most grateful for...
Happy PuristS birthday dear Horo. A true collector post for your 10th birthday here. It was a delight to read it
I don’t know if we can call all these watches a collection. A museum should be more appropriate in my opinion 😁 Best wishes Alkiro
Thanks a lot for this superb post Kevin!
It is a very moving post, at least for me because it reminds us that everything is about people. Thanks for your passion and your activity Kevin! You bring a lot! Fx
Wow, very, very nice, I certainly hope..............
they never all need to be serviced at the same time
I pray so too
I hardly wear a large majority. So remain unworn since new for prolonged period, this I must admit I can increase the servicing interval. Best, Horo
Congratulations Horo, we are so lucky to have you part of our Community...
I always enjoy your posts and look forward to them. S
Huge congrats 👏🏼 great post to read
Your collection is out of this world 😳. As a true indie brand lover i must say that your indie collection is just stunning 🤗. Hope one day to have a collection as yours 🙏🏻 please keep those posts comming . Love to read and see more 👍🏻

Congrats to your journey and thank you for this post that demonstrates your creativity and commitment as a Purist. A very, very strong collection there, Iron Man!

A very excellent post that I enjoyed reading from beginning to end.

Congratulations Horo, for a post in The PuristS style. I just looked to see...
That I have been here almost eleven years.
Hi Ronald... Been a while
You have been on the Purists as long as, if not longer, then me. This August forum has evolved over time.... Substance and layouts. and people come and go, sadly some so not return. I miss many of the old faces. But so good to have you lasting with us all...
Happy anniversary!!
Seeing your collection, you must spend more time choosing your watch than choosing your clothes!! A very nice set of pictures, Thanks for sharing all this with us! Best, É.
Kudos to you!!!
Congrats and always wonderful to read your post. This post, in particularly, is AMAZING!!! Thank you for sharing such wonderful pix too *CL

Sorry for the late reply, was in the air on one of the few planes without internet connection for 16 hours... Thanks for your inspiration and support ... Cheers, TM

I will always remember you and MTF giving me low down on being a forum mod...."its like a cocktail function, and the forum readers are guests....." best, Horo
Congratulations Hororgasm
You have been an honesty and an admiration of this forum. Please continue sharing your passion with us. Thank you very much

Such a wonderful post
A pleasure to read and a great feeling for a new joiner like me, from your own hometown! Here’s wishing many many more years of witty contributions from you. Hope we do meet up at some GTG soon. Brgds, Prodyut
Howdy.... Stay tuned for a early Dec GTG
Would be good to meet up with everyone. Especially many new faces I haven't met and old faces for friendships renewed. Thanks, Horo
Ever considered going . . .
. . . vintage? You really should, Kevin . . . it's a whole 'nother world. Warmest, Art
The passion and joy in horology is evident in this wonderful post
Congrats K! Having been privileged to see part of your collection before, thank you, and to more good years of collecting!
Much appreciated. We met before?
Are you based in Singapore. I need to put a face to the forum handle!! We are organising a Dec GTG, please join in? Best, Horo
thanks for sharing with us your an amazing decade of horological life...
... well deserved to pen down a post to celebrate and reflect for another decades to come. I started my horological life later than yours, but I don't think I would make the same as yours in coming years. Well done and congrats once again for me being par...
Thank you for your pure PuristS post. Congratulations
And I hope to learn from you more often.
I showed this post to my wife....
..... Her immediate reaction was 'Don't even think about it!' Impressive collection, impressive friendships, impressive words. Thanks for sharing so much with us, and here's to many more decades here in good health!
Howdy fellow Singaporean
Most happy to share, and many thanks for your well wishes. Please bring your wife to the next Purist GTG, we as a community will convince her for you!! 😁 Best, Horo
Your collection is mind boggling. Good to know others have some kind of eccentricity similar to mine.
Best wishes. please continue to indulge in your passion. Geross.
OOOPS, I truly apologize...
...for having missed your post, and that was for sure the post not to be missed ! Thank God there is the weekend for checking and reading the ones that I missed. Many thanks Horo for your great contribution during these years and for this fantastic and in...
