January 2023: 15 years of moderation. A story of friendship
By: amanico : January 5th, 2023-09:52
It is a long story of friendship which led me to accept the Moderator's functions... In December 2006, I registered on our WatchProSite new platform ( I was already active on our former website called The PuristS two years before ). This is the moment I m...
Amazing story Nico

It's amazing to see how deep you can go in a hobby. And also your story is clear evidence that you draw a lot of fun, growth and friendships from the work you put in. Really beautiful
Thanks for sharing

A true labour of love considering this is all done for free and comes on top of work and family duties, chapeau bas monsieur
Congratulations!

What a history indeed!
By: KCLQMULKU : January 5th, 2023-13:25
I learnt throughout the many years I have been (privileged to be) a part of this amazing forum how much it takes to be a WPS moderator. A job all in itself! Absolutely amazing how you and your moderator colleagues balance this with your actual professiona...

I remember when I visited you to admire the Gyrotourbillon, I think it was the first time we met .... also 15 years ago
By: fmc000 : January 5th, 2023-16:19
I last posted on the forum some eight or nine months ago so this thread is clearly a perfect excuse to chime in just to congratulate you for the passion end the enthusiasm you show many times every day with your contributions here on WPS.
You are amazing !

Without such great moderators and enthusiasts this site would be a shadow of itself. Heartfelt thanks to you all, for your hard work and dedication to the cause šš X
Wow! What a story!
By: patrick_y : January 5th, 2023-20:25
What a wonderful story! So much history of WPS in this post! Thank you Amanico for being here and for all your hard work in posting about the JLC brand! WPS wouldn't be the same without you. And JLC wouldn't mean as much to me without you neither!
A bit late
By: Weems@8 : January 5th, 2023-20:54
Congratulations! With your 15th anniversary. GP, Ulysse Nardin, Jaeger LeCoultre, great watches. The league of the best wristwatch maisons. A bit late with my reply, busyā¦.. Reason, watches.
Happy anniversary Nico!
By: eklektik : January 5th, 2023-23:27
Reading the post, i was scared you were moving on. Glad you're not! Thanks for your hard work here and the time spent moderating but more importantly nourishing the community. The relationship with JLC is clearly thanks to you and your approach. That trip...
Truly amazing!

Nicolas, your contribution goes beyond the JLC forum! You are day in day out and always a gentleman!
Wow great recounting of those 15 years!
By: Echi : January 6th, 2023-05:10
I remember JAW posting the skeletonized Reverso in ThePurists. That one blew me away for sure. I wonder how those guys are doing. One thing about the old Purists, while groundbreaking, insightful and classy, it was not easily accessible for me even if all...

By: NT931 : January 8th, 2023-01:34
And indeed what comes through is that besides the watches, the people and relationships matter. I've only had the pleasure of meeting you once in Singapore, but your passion and enthusiasm were infectious! To more good years!

By: cfn : December 14th, 2023-06:22
Hi Amanico, I write the headline with the utmost respect, admiration and gratitude. The way you have thrown yourself 119% into the moderator role, the content (reports, pictures) you produce, the loyal yet challenging way you support our Grande Maison. Al...

Someone said "moderating without moderation".
By: TheMadDruid : December 19th, 2023-15:07
I think "moderating without moderating"; i.e. without a heavy hand, is what is meant. And that is you. If you didn't have 330,000 posts, but had none, your presence would be felt without knowing it. You are the moderator who sees everything and knows what...

Hi my friend, I unfortunately rarely have time to come here and today I pass by and find your post. I can say 15 years later that the only relief I have from having let the moderation of the JLC forum is that youāve taken it (even if in my mind Iāve never...
Happy Anniversary and a big Thank You my friend!!
By: eklektik : January 12th, 2024-20:26
Thanks for reminding this nice moderator story! However, your post is way too short! And you are too humble to mention: - the exclusive shots you share and take yourself with great skills, - the nice and very informative reviews you write up regularly, gi...
