Highlights of Horological Events of the Fortnight ending August 9, 2015
A relatively quiet fortnight,with one Collector event, and one Boutique cocktail by Lange.
Collector Dinner by Deployant Friend July 29
One of our Deployant Friends collected three significant watches and held a small private dinner to celebrate his acquisition. Two of the pieces were significant horologically important: the Greubel Forsey Invention Piece 3 and the Patek Philippe 5101. And the third is the first delivery of an independent watchmaker for a piece unique: The Bexei Dignitas Pure (full review coming soon) where Aaron Becsei personally delivered the watch.
