GTG: #LAWatchGang October 2015

Brian H. November 22, 2015

After missing the last two #LAWatchGang GTGs, I made sure I did not miss October's!  As always, great company and beautiful watches.  Brands in attendance that night included: IWC, Rolex, Heuer, Patek Philippe, Audemars PIguet, TAG Heuer, Seiko, Omega, Weiss, Tourneau, Hamilton, JLC, and many others.  Please keep in mind that I try to take photos of watches that have not yet been featured in my previous GTG reports.

GTG: #LAWatchGang July 2015 with Jaeger-LeCoultre

Brian H. August 19, 2015

July’s #LAWatchGang GTG was hosted by the Jaeger-LeCoultre boutique in Beverly Hills.  So besides enjoying our member’s watches and conversations, last month we added a few Jaeger-LeCoultre beauties to the mix… a few Tourbillons and even a Spherotourbillon!  Not a bad month!

GTG: #LAWatchGang April 2015

Brian H. May 10, 2015

April's #LAWatchGang GTG was huge!  With over 25 members showing up, the number of watches was insane!  Two members brought with them a large part of their collection so we had more watches than we had people!  As it should be!  Brands represented during this GTG included: Rolex, Tudor, IWC, Audemars Piguet, Bell & Ross, Omega, Breitling, TAG Heuer, Nomos Glashutte, Vacheron Constantin, Longines, Panerai, Sinn, Chronoswiss, and many more!  Please keep in mind that I try to take photos of watches that have not yet been featured in my previous GTG reports.

GTG: #LAWatchGang + #redbarcrew + Bell & Ross

Brian H. April 24, 2015

On April 11, two members of the #redbarcrew (@redbarcrew) were in town (@kmcgivney and @atommoore) so a GTG with the #LAWatchGang was a no-brainer!  And as if the night could get any better, Robert Kolcon (@robertkolcon) from Bell & Ross showed up with a few pieces from Bell & Ross from his personal collection.  Great timepieces + great company = great night!

Brian H. April 7, 2015

Last month's #LAWatchGang GTG was fun as always!  Several new faces for me and plenty of watches that I had not seen before.  Add delicious tacos to the mix and all I can say is that I certainly enjoyed every minute of it.  Some of the brands in attendance that night include Rolex, Ressence, Tudor, Omega, Hamilton, Glashutte Original, Panerai, Girard-Perregaux, Breguet, Audemars Piguet, and Heuer.

GTG: #LAWatchGang January 2015

Brian H. February 12, 2015

The #LAWatchGang is growing rapidly!  Just a year ago we were only a handful of watch geeks and now we are averaging 15 people per meet.  Not bad if you ask me.  Last month's meet offered a great variety as usual... plenty of vintage pieces and a few modern ones.

GTG: #LAWatchGang Special Evening with Hartmut Kraft (Part I)

Brian H. December 23, 2014

Last Tuesday we had a very special ##LAWatchGang GTG with Hartmut Kraft (aka H).  For those unfamiliar with H, he is the President of DKSH (responsible for the distribution of Maurice Lacroix, Glycine, and several other brands in North America).  Before he became an executive in the watch industry, H was and is simply one of us... a true watch enthusiast.

GTG: #LAWatchGang November 2014 with Devon Works

Brian H. December 1, 2014

November's #LAWatchGang GTG was by far our largest and craziest GTG so far, with special guest Devon Works.  From a vintage Heuer Monaco to the ultra-futuristic Devon Tread 1, this GTG was simply WOW... overstimulated is an understatement.

GTG: #LAWatchGang October 2014

Brian H. October 16, 2014

For October's #LAWatchGang GTG, @toysofawis surprised the OGs with a customized polo shirt!  Thank you again!  As usual, a lot of familiar faces, but we also had two newcomers with interesting watches.  The selection at October's GTG was quite varied.  Remember, if you are a watch aficionado and would like to attend our monthly #LAWatchGang GTG, please feel free to contact me.

Omega Apollo 11 50th Anniversary visits Malibu. The Hulk at the Avengers Headquarters. Color coordinated 💙🤍💙🤍 Slowly started to eat out again… not sure that I really missed dining at a restaurant that much 🤔. Anyone else feel the same? They don’t make them like they used to. There is something special about white dial PAMs 😍. Kabobs 🍢 and watches⌚️.
Enjoying my new @montawatch (@everestbands) leather watch roll. Top quality all around, highly recommended. A pair of beautiful AP watches hides inside… Which color should I go with? ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 The Chanel J12 GMT. Happy Saturday everyone! Not your typical watch ☠️ One of my favorite PAMs, the 968.
Best part of the Prism watch case from @delugsstraps? The cover also serves as a pad!  Perfect place to lay your watches on once you take them out of the holders. 3 very different black watches 🖤🖤🖤. Which one would you choose? I still think that this variant of the Speedmaster is gorgeous 😍. My Luminor case trio... 911, 563, and 416. Safely stored in the @delugsstraps Prism case. Who knows which one of these three is a regular production model? I’ll stick to this Speedmaster 😉.

Perfect Saturday. #friyay at the happiest place on earth. Thank you @jujube_intl for the inner zip pocket. I passed bag check with flying colors. Totally didn't expect it too, cuz who checks bags at the movies still? 🍫🍫🍫 ps. Buncha crunch + popcorn is the best combo. #yourewelcome I was all set for the movies with my #tokiperky light and popcorn shirt. 🍿 @babyofawis opening her eggs last Easter. Happy Easter to all that celebrate!  The #ittybittybe is perfect to hide a couple eggs for the little one. 🙊 Korean AYCE. 😝 Happy Saturday! At the dentist office. 😩 The new spring cups from #Starbucks make me want to switch my bag to something a little lighter. A little unikiki 2.0 perhaps? 🤔 Bon voyage, @toysofawis 😘. Happy Friday, everyone! We are excited for the Beauty and the Beast movie! @babyofawis wanted to hang her belle on my #fairytella bag. #tokidokixjujube #jujubeintl #bff 😥 #mondate Taco o'clock. 🌮 Taco dirty to me. 😏 Happy Friday! 🌮🌮🌮
