Seven Seeds ...
... named for the seven coffee seeds that Sufi Baba Budan took from Mocha in Yemen to India in 1670 and established coffee cultivation there. Seven Seeds is one of our best roasters and has an attached cafe. Always busy, and cool. Great coffee, good food, and coffee cupping going on behind us. Waiters interested in the watches. Fun.

Where two or more are gathered ...
Singapore Purist, Stefan, was in town on business and we managed to get together over breakfast yesterday morning. We hadn't seen each other since IGOTT 2 in Las Vegas, and even then we didn't get time to chat as there was so much going on. So this long b...

If I can misquote ...

The problem you had at IGOTT
...was that I was sitting between the two of you at dinner! No wonder you didn't get to talk :-) Great collection, and looks like a great GTG! Thanks for sharing... Best, Gary
Many pieces there that I admire......
There may only have been two of you, but by the size of the collection there were many. It looks like you had a lovely time. The coffee looks almost to good to drink :)
Looks like you brought most of the collection there Andrew...
A great table full of watches. Wonder if you were getting any funny looks from the patrons ;) grumio
I would say intrigued ...
The table opposite us were clearly intrigued, the waiter said he had never had watch collectors in the cafe, but we did discuss Tourbillon theory with him. It was fun. Andrew
Always great to see two or more Purists gather in name of horology
And the cross border friendships. Stefan is such a personable chap. Fantastic assembly of watches too. Best, Horo
Sorry I missed GTG
Andrew to meet a visiting overseas purist, the watches, good coffee and breakfast. Thank You for invite. Cheers,dreamer
