Horological Meandering

No salacious gossip, just an early Christmas GTG for the WatchBand over good food, wine and great conversation. All of it lubricated by horology. One interstate visitor flew down for the event and other friends were missed. But we will be back again in th...  

LOL! Looks like a fun time was had! Lots of cool watches. I like those Smiths. I'm always tempted when I see them come up. Until 2013 WatchBand-mates! Cheers, Daos

Good to catch up properly with some people, and get my greasy hands all over some lovely watches. I only had an iphone on me, so moody action shots are all I can contribute....

...  

The moody shots add to the ambiance of the event! :-) Daos

Love the perspective and atmosphere. The official photographer managed not to topple into the watches! Great night. Thanks again! Andrew

I thought the dinner was just a prelude to warm up to another closer to year end. How can we end without you know who ? ? , Pplater of course being there. Cheers,dreamer

... since his last visit. I can see several pre-Christmas 'breakups' in our future. Enjoyed our chat, and you clearly enjoyed the watches. Until next time. Andrew

Thanks to all who attended, especially those from interstate - it was a great night. The star of the night for me was the VC jump hour, which I've only seen before in pictures. 36mm, based on the very attractive cal 1120, and some lovely guilloche work on...  

Who is the most obsessive, pedantic, finicky, compulsive Purist I wonder?! Great shots under difficult conditions. And great to catch up again. Andrew ...  

While it expresses itself in quite different ways, it might be a close run thing ;) I just checked the talking phone clock (my source of 'correct' time). The plastic fantastic was +1 second fast. It really does hold quite a good rate... Great to catch up ... 

That's no breakup!!! Best, Horo

. . . as well you shouldn't, Andrew ;-) . . .

Give me your email address and I will send you some ankle shots from that night LOL. Cheers,dreamer

regarding VC 43040 Jump Hour . Does it work properly? Love the look and the style :-) Thanks for sharing! Oliver

...yes it works properly, with a nice crisp 'jump' at the change of the hour. The size may seem small to some people but it sits really well, comfortably, and in my admittedly very personal opinion, it's a great size; any bigger and it would not be as dis... 

....this isn't the 'final' GTG for the year, is it?!? But what about (looks in his general direction) pplater? I must admit that I did rather enjoy some of the 'shocked expressions' when I gatecrashed (for which I send thanks to Theobold), though the one ...
