A Trip To Asia. Part One, Singapore.
First of all, I have to say that this trip is my first trip in Asia. You can imagine how excited I was when, a bit less than one year ago, Jaeger-Lecoultre proposed this trip. From Asia, what did I have in mind? A wealthy Financial world, a very far count...
Wow
Nice photos, especially the night photo from top :-) Hope to see you again someday and very nice meeting you in jlc boutique. The platinum geophysic is very nice in your wrist :-) Regards, Ronald
re: Part One
Room 666? Guess they were expecting you! Sounds like you had a lot of fun out in HK and Singapore! -MW
It seems, yes. The HK trip was really something, yes.
The report, I still have to write it... 20 Hours in two different planes didn't let me too much time. ;) All the best, my friend. Nicolas.
Wow! It looks like you had a wonderful time.....
I must say that I too, have a penchant for the SS, very nice, sober and chic! Its on my list;) Cheers and thank you for the nice pictures. Francois
That would be a nice addition in your collection. Thanks for looking, my friend.
I just regret you weren't able to attend! Best, Nicolas
Nico, I see you are going well in your trip........
......Nice shots beautiful places and watches.- Good luck my friend and good winds!! A hug. Juan
The Reverso Platinum Nr 2 is as you said, indeed. Magnificent, and under the radar.
Which makes all its interest, IMO... Best, Nicolas
Cool trip, great post!
Even if I would have preferred Alethea's wrist for all of the photos ;-) Good to see your room was ready when you arrived too. I am finding the SS Geophysic highly tempting. But I will likely stay the course for a platinum Septantieme when I am able.
The trip was like in a dream. As for the SS Geophysic...
In terms of price, this is not the kind of Watch which will disturb you to get the Septantieme... Funny, I was on to take the 70eme with me, for this trip, but at the last moment, I let it in the safe... Too many watches with me, already... Best, my frien...
Great report Nicolas!
I am a born and bred Singaporean and I love your post! True you didnt get to visit the old Singapore at the quay areas - maybe next time :) As for the night life, I heard we declared a state of emergency for curfew at 12am due to a certain vampire in town...
I would have loved to have enough time to visit this part of the town.
Next time I will! Yes, night life was a bit disappointin,g but your explanation makes sense. :) :) :) All the best, my dear friend. Nicolas
Wow !.. Eventful trip.. Appreciated company.. Lots of Objects of desire !..
.. and I absolutely can relate to the version on stainless steel ; ( the Pt more Retro for me, in a way) - Somehow quite happy, that I've put my (personal Géophysic 1958 on) order with JLC, already some time ago. We'll find out more, what's in the boxes, ...
Thanks for your feedback, hs. The HK report will come a bit later, I still have to
Write it.... ;) I already worked on my pictures, though. As for the TT Geophysic, I am sure you will adore it. All the best, Nicolas
Hope, you had a good trip !. No rush, pls with the HKreport.. But indeed looking forward..
.. to seeing the Géophysic(s) in the real ! - But maybe there will be a chance sometime & somewhere to do so, before they really will be released in fall or end-of-year.. My best, also for the WE, hs
Thank you
For the watch tour and city tour. Singapore is often compared to Switzerland I am not sure why. Besides banking - the two countries seem vastly different. As far as nightlife- come visit me in Zurich- it can compete with Paris ;) I also enjoyed your arm c...
Just arrived. Have to kiss the family, then I will work on it.
Man that wa great to see you. This last breakfast was a real pleaure. All the best, Nicolas
The climate is much different than in Swizerland, of course.
As for wrists, well, yes, I must amdit my defeat. All the best, Nicolas ...
You managed to squeeze a lot of walking and sightseeing into that second day.
Congratulations on that. I did a part of that route during my visit last year and another part this year the day after the function at Sentosa Cove. I can't wait to get back to Singapore again. Love this city. Most importantly to mention, it was great mee...
Mutual pleasure, my friend. Good to see you!
As for the second day, yes, we walked a lot, to try to find some nice spots for some photo sessions. Alethea was a great and sperb guide. Thank you, my friend, and remember, you are always welcome in France! Nicolas
And when is Part 2 coming out? :)
The Reverso Pt Tourbillon is truly a work of art! And indeed a lady's wrist brings out the RG Geophysic in a very different way from a guy's. Great to meet you Nicolas, and I'm glad you had fun in Singapore!
I must say that I was puzzled to see how the TT Geo RG worked so well on a lady's wrist.
A Revelation! Meeting you was a real pleasure. Hope to see you more often here! All the best, Nicolas
Very capable ...
were you flying or walking? :-) You covered quite many places within a day in this warm weather. Solid! Thanks for Part 1, looking forward to HK part now. Kong
Looks like you had a great time, my friend! :)
Must say that I prefer Alethea's wrist...! ;) Best Blomman
Fantastic experience ...
.. i have never been in Asia that far :-) ... seems really like something 'out of our world' to me .... . As for the nightlife, i think you should go to Bangkok ;-) .... How long did you stay ? Filip
I've been there, in SG and HK, for 5 days. A tad too short, but ...
An excellent first experience! Wait for the Part II, and the HK trip. Best, my friend. Nicolas
