TimeOut

.. ... and to be clear: By "a trip" i actually mean a "journey" ... unlike any of you might be thinking ... . Going to Paris is always a nice experience, there is so much to see and experience ... the food is always amazing, the scenery is great, and alth...  

The real purpose for this visit was a dancing class for my beloved daughter to work a bit on classical-ballet techniques during the holidays .... what better place than Paris to do so .... ... and offcourse the "unofficial reason" (don't tell my wife) was...  

... so before meeting a fellow Purist we went to the famous "Berthillon" ice-cream thing everybody is talking about ... and .... indeed .... after a good taste now i know why they are so famous ... After a short drive i finally arrived at "the centre of t...

One evening we had a formal dinner in a very nice Vietnamese restaurant (the owner happened to be a watch-nut as well, what a coincidence ..) .... . If you want to have a great dining-experience in Paris, in this restaurant will give you one .... a royal ...  

When did you want the car back Nicolas ???? ... and the 5 50ies ? ;-)...  

What a lot of fun! And to think I was stuck in stormy, brooding Scotland with another friend's car. You guys should have told me of your mini-GTG; shooting down to Paris from UK wouldn't have taken that long if I don't care about speeding citations along ... 

A shame we didn'treally thaught about having a real Purist-gtg ... We should do a world-gtg next time ... Filip

Thanks for the great tour of Paris. That's an impressive arm shot of five watches! Five 50-Fathoms watches.

That bloody French guy took off with it ... LOL ... The 5 50ies where impressive indeed ... Filip

Specially the fifty food one! These watches are to die for... Excellent work my friend! Best Emilio

the posts are always amazing Cheers, FF (Fast Filip)

Your company is source of Evilesque Inspiration! Best, Nicolas

Great pics. Thanks a bundle for sharing.

to share great moments ... Filip

I loved reading about your adventure in France! The pictures were so much fun too! Why does it seem like noone has as much fun as you and Nicolas do when you're together? I must get to France or Belgium one of these days soon! I feel I'm missing out! Chee... 

having Nicolas around is always (too uch) fun Maybe we'll meet next year at the world-gtg ???? World-gtg ??? Now that would be something !!!! Greetz, filip

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! I envy you for living so close to Paris and being able to enjoy this adventures quite often. Sourire de Saigon is an excellent restaurant! Richard, the owner, is a great guy! Thanks for bringing back some great memori... 

An excellent restaurant by far !!! And indeed Richard proved to be a very nice host for the evening ... We had a great time together ... If you're coming to Paris or Europe next time, let me know ... filip

You boys are having too much fun! That Pro Geo looks great on your wrist. But the steel AMVOX...that is the first photo I have seen thus far that has made me think twice about this new version. It's brilliant! I was, perhaps, too hasty in my initial judge... 

The Geo was a real stunner, what a beast, i really liked it but i'm a bit concerned about the price ... But my real favorite was the steel AMVOX II ... Brilliant all the way, the platinum version was as brilliant as the steel one, a bit nicer .... Watch o...

A shame we didn't meet ... but meeting with Nicolas several times (and you know how busy he always is ... ), i barely had the time to favor my wife: "Are you going back to see that Devlish-French-lawyer again ????" LOLOLOL ... I'll let you know when i'm c...
