Dear fellow purists,

two weeks ago we gathered our "watches at work".
This week´s topic wants to elicit our festive watches, the special ones which might be locked off for the rest of the year to be worn only on THAT special occasion once a year, or more or even less often?
Whatever that occasion may be: an anniversary, a graduation ceremony, a formal dinner, an awarding ceremony (need not be the Oscar or Nobel Prize), a family celebration, your wedding anniversary, a christening - something that is different from everyday routine and merits a special watch.
Those of  you who never go to any of these events (are there really some?), please show us the watch that makes your day a very festive one simply be wearing your special watch!
I am sure there are a lot of these solemn watches around in the community.

I have three watches that come to my mind:

My dad´s Dugena that he gave me sometime, an engagement present to him from my mum dating back to 1963. I will wear it on any family meeting with my parents.

This Oris my wife gave to me shortly after our own marriage. It is my choice on any family occasion that mainly concerns our smaller family circle, i.e. my wife and kids.

This vintage Seamaster might be on my wrist for other festive occasions outside the family.

Ladies and gentlemen: Let the feast be opened!

. . . years between festive events!  When I do, though (cue The Most Interesting Man in the World), I prefer . . .

. . . the rose gold Karree. 

But is also looks very nice in front of the ocean !

Best regards

. . . really is my special occasions watch - it's just that there's so few to celebrate!

I think we both would be surprised how many occasions may exist for others to have a feast! My neighbour is celebrating every day without heavy storm, snow or rainfalls or lightning with a garden BBQ. Some women have champagne for breakfast for the sheer reason it is available and some other women are joining in.
It must be your nickname "Dr. No" that you (like me as I have to admit) do not concede yourself to have a feast as often as you should!
Looking at your marvellous photographs with the Pacific Ocean in the background, heaps of fellow purists around you in California - there should be an opportunity to arrange festive moments, should it not?

Best regards from your soulmate

. . . wasn't too shabby, either ;-) . . .

To strap this beauty on your wrist, Art!

. . . and just because of your reminder, my friend ;-) . . .

... such a charming and elegant timepiece my friend!

Best cordial regards, Abel.

Shame they discontinue it!

... for a festive occasion.
Alone the definition of "festive enough" can become an interesting task.
When is festive festive enough to get the best horse out of stable?
This especially beautiful Karèe certainly deserves to see the light of the day.

Have a great weekend and warmest regards,
Martin

. . . is all that's necessary to get Rosie out of her safe deposit box, Martin.  

Currently there are no plans for a visit to United States. :-(
But if we happen to get to close to California I promise that you will know.

Best regards, Martin

More to come ( quite ) soon on the JLC forum about this Extrem Lab II which I had the pleasure to test this summer for an on the wrist report. Best, Nicolas

First...

Best,

Nicolas.

A Grand Prix race probably?

At first sight the watch looks quite "toolish", large and heavy, so probably not your first choice when being made member of the Légion d´Honneur?

Just having some good time in Villa Manin, Italy, where we rested one day, before leaving Italy for Paris...

Best, my friend.

Looks much better in the watch than you, my friend!

In Swedish we say dress in something - not with!

. . . zut alors!
