Horological Meandering

Dear Purists, It's more than eight months I'm the proud owner of our Community watch (mine is #167) and it's time to write a review and post some pictures. Please forgive me if I dont show you a perfectly cleaned watch The very first impressions were ab...  

I'm always happy to read our fellow PuristS reviews on our PPro ABR community watch. And it's great to see that people still wear them and enjoy them :) I haven't tried the new rubber strap yet, so hopefully someone who ordered one can give us an updated ... 

The review was done here (click following link): amp;fi=17&pi=6070138&ti=889373&msid=&s= Medical Silicone Strap System 2 was launched only in orange colour. My review conclusion: "Much Better". That is the result of progress and continual ...  

Dear Anthony, Thank you for your reply. The reason why I'm so keen on my ABR is that it not only has a lot of qualities, but it has a meaning. Please, let me explain: the main quality is that when I wear it I feel younger ;-) the main meaning is that it r... 

An on the wrist review is the only way to discern the good and bad points of a Watch. Interesting read! Best, Nicolas

Well, Nicolas, I think there are different schools of thought about the best way to discern about the good and bad points of an object. Some say that the longer the time an object is with us and we will get used to the weaknesses and gain a sort of attach... 

Coffee with your surname on me when we meet ;) Loved your review but must sax that never ever had issues with winding the watch auto way Once on wrist and few firm shakes and things are in motion It never stopped on me if I wore it through the day About t... 

??? Probably that's why I'm used to close this way the tens of e-mail I send daily... Don't worry... but... I'm sorry, I'm not the one that make excellent coffees ;-) Thank you for your consideration on the watch, I completeley agree with you. Ciao, Elio

Reminds me of what I was thinking about when I wrote my review on the PuristSPro ABR watch back in 2009! I found the accuracy neither here nor there (ironically the most accurate watch I've worn was not the Jaeger-LeCoultre tourbillon nor the Audemars Pi... 

Thank you, Patrick, for your words. I haven't spend much time taking pictures of the watch and I'm very glad you've appreciated them! About the red strap: I wish you will have many happy and relaxing opportunities to dress our watch with its not-so-seriou... 

Thank you for the wonderful photos and review. I enjoyed reading it a lot. I got mine since Feb 2014 and have been enjoying it since as well. Here's my # 156 saying hi! :) Just worn it this Sat for a swim. I use it now as my rough watch and it works great...  

Thank you for you words. About the winding efficiency: the problem is gradually downsizing, so I'm confident it will be solved in the future. Maybe, I simply have to wear the watch more frequently and the movement will become more efficient, so I won't ne... 

This similarity... amazing! This can't be coincidence! Cheers, Magnus ...  

Magnus, The cousin of our PuristSPro ABR watch was exhibited in the British Museum. The design features and its contribution to functional disinfectiblity may be important in the context of epidemiology and control of commensals in infection. The report i...  

Who knows, Magnus, maybe the Apple Watch will also be disinfectable ;-) Ciao, Elio

heartbreaker, Thank you for a balanced review. It is comments from real users that St Gallen took onboard to make improvements like the medical silicone strap system 2. Or the addition of 5 microns height to the case to prevent stoppages due to the hands ...  

Thank you very much for your answers! Now, I know much more on my ABR. About the strap system 2: I'd really like to buy one of those one, but the shipping costs to Italy are too high. Do you know if have dealers in Switzerland? Best salutations, Elio
