This afternoon 8 (a very 'fatt' number) JLC enthusiasts gathered at a Japanese restaurant to share their collection of various JLCs.
We had so much fun that we were there from 12.30 till 3.30pm and we then adjourned to guess where..?
JLC Boutique Starhill of course. Spent another 1.5 hours there being shown the SIHH 2013 prototypes by the boutique manager as they will be sent on to the next JLC boutique in another country tomorrow.
One participant who is not yet a JLC owner was poisoned and spent a lot of time drooling over a gorgeous dual face Reverso prototype..was thinking of whether to put down a deposit for it…guess who…..
Thanks to all present in making this gathering very successful. We shared information on each other's pieces, tried out each other alarms, complications.
Everyone brought a different model except 2 participants who each had the Reverso 1931, such was the diversity of JLC.
Some of the collectors are well travelled and have accumulated some iconic pieces from all over Europe.. Tyler was the envy of all as he has the most number of iconic pieces…
A big thank you guysss for the support and great camaderie this afternoon.. the afternoon belonged to each and everyone of you...
