Horological Meandering

In typical modest, low profile style, the YTL group allowed me, as a member of the recognised group, thePuristS.com , to take part in selecting the award winners for the amazing fair that they held at Starhill Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

It was a grand fair, using the actual retail stores as outlets and displays.  A very good idea, and is like a permanent Tempus display.

Here is a link that shows the leverage of what YTL stands for globally...in fact, the website is too modest. The Orient Express, and many well known icons are linked to YTL.  In Malaysia, Richard Mille is among just one of the many brands that are linked to YTL.  click here

The website is from 2002. Today..YTL is HUGE.

That YTL invited one of us to be a part of their celebration of watchmaking is incredible.

Also a link here to what YTL celebrated with the watch community: click here

On behalf of all the readers and moderators here..I wish to thank the Head of YTL - Tan Sri (Dr) Francis Yeoh

for being so generous to us, and for even reading this website.

Cheers...love the Gefica more and more...

Steffanie Chua and the YTL team that assembled the show together.

AND, a team of great folk from the SWATCH group from Singapore...Genie and Kelvin.

Maybe they were PuristS too?

Ms Steffanie Chua, General Manager of Starhill Gallery has written and asked me to convey a message to all PuristS who attended the 'A Journey Through Time' festival and the Awards Gala Dinner.

Regards, MTF

The message:

You made everyone looks good in your photos.  Thanks for the invite to all who were involved.  We really enjoy the dala dinner. It was also nice to meet your current Mrs. MTF who allegedly stole your cartier.

Regards

Ling

I am most mipressed with the flexiblity of new gear but it's not exactly stealth like my trusty Sony T-9.

Of course, my photography task was easier with so many younger, beautiful PuristS and guests 

Nice to meet the current Mrs LingHK (Mok-san) too.....and Yes - finally Mrs MTF admitted that my Tortue Monopoussir is history! We all heard her testimony at the AP KL GTG......first time in public admission.

Regards,

MTF

help support the effort.

And thanks to Dr. Bernard Cheong, who brought a large measure of horological integrity to the choices made that night.

TM

It was good catching up with you and TM. Hope to see you and Helen soon. Cheers.

Regards

for inviting fellow PuristS to its event at Starhill!

Cheers,
Anthony

I really just happened to be nearer YTL group's first foray into events of this nature.

The global presence of thePuristSPro and thePuristS.com were recognised.
