Oops...
hope I havent let the cat out of the bag...
I love the piece but wouldn't buy the watch for only 1 reason... I don't own a Bugatti! I already know that everytime I would wear it I would get asked where I had parked the car, its a bit like ferrari watches without the Ferrari.
On the car... 3 good reasons not to own one... 1. My wife also would kill me if she came home and it was parked in the drive... 2. I live on an island with a top speed limit of 40mph and 3. The bank manager will not let me have the supersport (for the orange) either!

Culinary and Horology - Parmigiani Event 29May
Howdy folks, I was recently invited to attend a Parmigiani dinner held at one of my favourite restaurants in Singapore ...Les Amis, one of the few restaurants that have not only survived the typical short interest cycles of the restaurant scene here, but ...
Notable characters at the table....
First up, Jean Marc Jacot, CEO of Parmigiani Fleurier. I had the pleasure of being seated next to this fine gentleman, and he was the perfect host. Lots of stories and insight into the world of horology, a most certainly interesting and intelligent person...
Please do not say that...
you took the the time I wasn't in Singapore to order that oval Parmigiani. That's obviously an offside cen@jkt
i was told you engaged in some insider trading with the new AD!!! :)-
and I am pretty sure that insider trading carries a heavier penalty then offside!! best, Horo
Sorry, you are simply wrong
In Indonesia, there is no penalty for insider trading. But an offside is frown upon cen@jkt
the prints
Actually, the framed photographs were purchased by Parmigiani Fleurier, and one of them was offered to you as a gift from them. The photograph is a limited edition of 10 pieces in this size, and yours is 1/10.
Yupe...Yafiro no more
I am sure there will be better service quality and more reasonable prices too. Have you seen their latest offering? Best, Horo
Nope. For haute horology, the ad makes a difference and
I have nv stepper into yafriro for some in explainable reason. Cheers PAt
they lost Greubel Forsey to Sincere too
and i totally agree with you about the bit on AD providing value added in haute horology. this for chiming in Best, Horo
Genki has not been used or associated with me for more then a decade, at least!! :)-
till the next time. Best, Horo
The Watches....
a cross selection of the watches on display. apologies for the poor picture quality. they were taken from a Samsung mobile phone. The Tonda Chronograph Rivage aka "Transformer" watch...quite innovative. Parmigiani is not the first to do this, Chopard and ...
movement on the 3 heand Tonda
is the PF701, not PF331 which is the movement for the Tonda with date. Your framed print is of PF701.
thanks for the correction.
got it mixed up with the version with date aperture. best, Horo
Nice review
Looks like a great night Horo and a chance to see and play with the Parmigani range. I was lucky enough to do the same during SIHH and it was interesting for me to learn more about the brand which I knew very little about before and meet some great people...
yupe...thats the one i am writing about tomorrow!!
its a truly wonderful piece. sometimes you hear and read about certain pieces that are fantastic this or wonderful that...to only feel underwhelmed when one actually see and touch the physical piece. but I am pleased to say, the Bugatti fulfills the "fant...

Thanks
Thanks for coverage and interesting insights.. Looking forward to MTF's food review...mine will be up tomorrow.
The Dinner
As is the usual practice on PuristSPro, this will not be a wine and food epicurean review because I only review meals eaten anonymously and paid privately. Still, I can describe the experience as being consistent with previous visits to Les Amis.....alway...
Another eating blog: Ho Chiak by Peter Chong
The dinner organiser, Peter Chong writes a personal local blog in Singapore called Ho Chiak (Good Eats) in chinese hokkien dialect. It's the same meal so our thoughts are similar.....click link below: shiokhochiak.blogspot.co.uk Regards, MTF
thanks for the event reporting
Did not know you like Parmigiani! Or that you own one. You got mail.
Welcome Chip
Hope you like the report. Yes, I do have one of the older 8days, and am considering another one. Seeya next week. Best, Horo
