Now it seems to be official ...

madness because of watches … PuristS Pro Moderator written on a “business” card …

To be honest, I was not aware that there will be something like an announcement this weekend and therefore I was not prepared.
Nonetheless I would like to say Thanks, to your warm welcome (here, via PM & via Email) and to Magnus for featuring it.

Being a Purist means:

“To me it means sharing passion for watches (sometimes even more) with people all over the world. It only works if people here feel comfortable,
find their way how to participate and to create an added value for the community. …
Being a Purist is even better, when you meet other PuristS in the real world – SIHH, Basel, GTGs … .”

I had the pleasure to share quality time, watches, champagne, wine, beer, food (all levels) … in Basel, Geneva, London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Munich,
Kitzbuehel, Zürich, Dresden, Hamburg, Copenhagen … with some of you (collectors, connoisseurs, photographers, watchmakers …)
and I am really looking forward to the next occasions – anywhere in the world. At the end of the day it is not (only) about the watches, it is about the people behind.

Being a moderator, what will change? So far I think not that much, because I love to share knowledge and passion about watches (and finer things in life) with YOU.
If there is something more behind, like deleting posts or taking care of peoples behave … Will have to find out that

When I asked my wife about her thoughts regarding being a moderator here, she said: “You spend lots of time on that forum, anyway.”
She said it with a twinkle in her eyes and I think she is fine with the new situation

Will I be even more a part of the world of generosity/unselfishness from Thomas … a part of the dark side of the world from Nicolas ... a part of …
in any case I am a small part of the world of PuristS (like before) and a new member to the moderators team.
The latter means big shoes, but hey Let´s try and have fun!
