Seattle Perpetual Calendar GTG

[George Ab]

The Perpetual GTG was by far the single most enjoyable watch event I have attended. I go to a couple watch shows a year; yet over a fine meal and the warmth of great company I am able to see more perpetual calendars then I have seen in the last fifteen years. The selection included the following manufactures: A Lange & Sohne, Girard Perregauz, F. P Journe, Glashutte, Roger Dubuis, Svene Anderson, Franc Vila, and Moser. After the collective oohs and ahs subsided after advancing the time to see the dates advance from February 29th to March 1st; and four hours of meandering on watches, good food and drink it took everything bit of will power to make our way towards the exists. One of those rare evenings that the warmth of company and conversation is such that it would nice if it never ended.

Jon Zhang put this event together. Jon is a leading member of the horological press and avid collector. Many of you have probably been reading his reports from Basel at watchprosite.com as he has been our “boots on the ground” at Basel for many years. Jon put an article together on the Perpetual GTG that provides a succinct yet precise explanation of a perpetual calendar, great watch shots particularly considering the environment, and capturing the flavor and warmth of the evening. Thanks Jon for the article and the wonderful evening!
