Such a wonderful interview of s GP fan.
Insightful, honest , and thought provoking. Crown Comforts GP posts have helped me so much in my journey.☀️
I share his passion for the golden age of GP … the Macaluso period.
The watches from era show innovation, bravery and a style that is distinctive.
POTM - January - Crown Comfort
Dear friends After long waiting here’s first POTM interview aka Purist Of The Month interview. As you know every first of month we will have one of our members in spotlight. First in line is crown comfort aka CC. Yes yes I know…GP gang…GP mafia…nepotism e...
Thanks for these insights CC and thanks Damjan for kicking this off!
To me there is a big value in getting a bit of context on some of the members in this forum. Great initiative! Cheers, HSTE
Padj and I don't wrestle,
so there should not be fierce physical contact with CC when we meet. Unless there is an undisclosed side of him that we do not know from the interview... If you are warning us of drinking, I think we can handle that.
Wow! A summation of a real Purist!
How interesting! I pictured you as Asian due to the car that appears as your avatar. Thanks for sharing - and Mr Editor / Moderator, thanks for putting this together. Cazalea
. . . and all this time, I thought your screen name . . .
. . . reflected another interest . . . . . . altogether. ...
Welll...I don't know is it...
comforting...scary or alarming but we had exactly the same association and not for the first time
Great interview, D!
And a pleasure to "meet" CC Best wrist photo I've seen of the constant escapement btw. A Happy New Year to all. Echi
If I lured you to post
then my mission is complete with this series dear Echi So happy to ready you again Yours Damjan
There is one question which was not asked...
Which GP will you let go first? The Railtimer, of course! Superb interview from and of a great man. Bravo. Best, Nicolas
I would say my underwear is very "impaler-resistant"
but my neck fell victim to the Tepes bite on another thread. At least that hurt less.
Yes!
Never mind, Vlad Tepes! Isn't the MB enough?! Next thing you know I'll be biting K!
Haha, how did you know???
Indeed, the Railtimer will leave my collection in the next couple of days... But just to get a well-deserved oil service and then come back to ME in all its freshness....
CC and Padj,
Now we witnessed and fully understood the Lawyer's ability of giving explanations and definitions in his favored way. Better not to argue against the lawyer, especially when he is also a bloddy Vlad.
Thank you Damjan for organizing this great series,
and thank you CC for introducing yourself to us.
What an interview and
what a POTM as an iniciative! Most interesting was the person behind the watches for me! And you surprised me, dear CC, because I didn\'t know, that you love the russian literature and were wrestling! It is also not common for a computer programmer, a lit...
That's was exactly the point dear friend
to show how truly great...genuine and "like us" people behind watches...wristshots and avatars are Best D
Thanks Damjan and Crown Comfort, both!
First of all for the great initiative, which really highlights our members and What they\'re like. I am confident that you\'ve gotten yourself a job for life with this, Damjan Especially since even at GTGs (unless they are one on one or small), you are un...
Thanks a lot, KMII for your kind words
indeed it was a pleasure meeting you and as you said, GTGs are often full of a very busy schedule and that litres of Grappa don't make it easier either The Breitling went a long long time ago and the Patek was with me as a daily wearer for more than 10 ye...
Thanks for clarifying that :)
Always interesting to see how the taste and thinking of fellow Purists develop. We'll make sure to spend an hour or two before the grappa comes in earnest next time!
Even better than The New Year's Concert of Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and...
Four Hills Tournament combined together ehhh
Congrats CC, it's a pleasure "meeting" you. Very interesting read.
Thank you for the nice introduction. Rgds Raymond
Very well written.
CC, thanks for a glimpse into your life. Well deserced POTM. And it was a privilege to meet you. D, thanks for the initiative.
Thanks Zabreg
I still need to read it three times not to mis-spell your user name Great pleasure to have met you in 2016, hopefully to be repeated this year.
Good to read your thoughts, CC!
Thank you for sharing a lot of you and your thoughts here with us! Thank you for all your contribution in the GP forum and else where... I fear that once you go deeper into vintage Zenith, you will be very busy! Then maybe I will get a break and can find ...
Yes, that happens quickly.. And IF, it's irresistable, IMHO.. +1 in getting introduced into GP & GP Vintage, dear Blomman !.. :))
And you & our friend CC make strong advocates & ambassadors for GP ! For me it really proved a further column of my collecting interests. Thx kindly to both of you ! Cheers, hs
Thanks HS, as you know: GTGs are dangerous and I remember you saying
"I hate being with you but I love you" I think that sums it up
Thanks for everything, foremost for the friendship
Yes, there are a lot of watches I need to blame you for, but it's the kind of blame anyone would be envious of. Giving you a break on GP? I don't think so. And you don't need one, you're still lightyears ahead. CC
Beautiful read. Thanks for sharing with us CC
I have always enjoyed your posts, to get an inside look is very special.
Appreciated initiative and thank you CC for stepping forward.
Nice to "meet" CC and hope to meet many more PuristS. Cheers Kolosstt
