watches pair well with food
Lots of great pics of watches and food all over PuristSPro. Here's one from a recent GTG when JerryW visited us here in SoCal:
And up high on a Delta Airlines flight:
And the finish line after driving the Ferrari 458 Spyder with the Wandering PuristS. Can you spot the watch on his wrist?

Let's go for the "Watches and Food" wrist scan weekend ...
Team, I'm opening one hour early because I have a previously schedule appointment on the exact 00:00 Singapore time. Let's see your favorite watch and food or favorite food and watch. Not real food but a porcelain painting (by my wife) and my Portuguese 7...
Watch is fine.. Food sometimes even more.. So let's see.. ;)

Cool combination...
I have a huge regret to not had the TT. Italian food rules. Cheers, Nilo
Touché.. You're right & also often wear them when eating safood, like in summer
.. but surprisingly, I didn't have a good shot ready.. ;) and for that, Cucina Italiana is more than a good alternative ! :) Best & HAGWE to you & yours, hs
Tasty treats,
And refreshing beverages, definitely my kind of moments, hs, particularly with a negroni (or is it just Campari soda?) in hand. Cheers, Alex
Your "TT" JLC watches are fantastic!
Whether you show us the Geophysic or the DSA - I always feel tempted to buy one. My luck - I do not have the money :-) Best anaesdoc

This chrono is...
Beautiful! :) You should show it more often over in the "North" part of our forum! ;) HAGWE Blomman
I don´t blame you, Fernando!
With that beautiful watch on your wrist, you must be eager to time any and all things you can think of :-) Have a great weekend, Alex

'Oat soda'? . . .
. . . is that kinda like 'root beer'? One oat soda for me, please! :-)
Well, the topic was 'food' and watches ...
Oats: there not just for breakfast anymore.
Hamburger…
Honestly, I love cooking and eating good food, but I never understood people who need to take phone photos of their dishes in all places and post them online. That’s almost as obsessive as Selfies. So let me take this week’s WS on food from a different an...
Another burger watch....
I agree with you, CC! :) Here is another GP burger: Ref 8021, 37 mm in diameter and 13 mm thick! HAGWE Blomman ...

Bohemian, indulgent, or vegan. Beautiful photos of stunning watches, dear Nico! You only miss one with cold cervezas beachside ;-) Fuerte abrazo, Alex
Dinking a blend of Columbian . . .
. . . arabica with peaberry beans from Java and Honduras in equal measure as I write these lines, Nilo, plus dates for breakfast. If I were in São Paolo, I'd prepare a bowl . . . . . . of guacamole for you. If you were here, you'd be dining on Miguel's . ...
Chef with that...
cap and t-shirt deserves at least one Michelin star IMHO ;) :) Best D
When Wolfgang Puck had his famous restaurant . . .
. . . a few blocks away, he would come to Miguel's establishment for dinner. A four-star chef's destination should also rate four stars, no?
Again, hs suggested to me, RWS to enter WS: .. Although, I unlikely will.. :)
..start with my own account - So bear with me, one more time, please ! - Already here some limitation: not enough watches probably, in my realm but I chose one that hs and myself sometimes share in wearing, as it's a heirloom from my late father : Nothing...
Nothing quite so charming . . .
. . . as an Omega from the era when they were at the top of their game. Utterly lovely. And thank you for joining in again, R. Art
Great to see you back, RWS!
I think you are destine to be here in the WS considering you R' WS! ;) Lovely Omega Seamaster. Could it be that it is Reference 901? This reference came with several different hands and dial versions... 1958: 1959: HAGWE Blomman ...

Hola Alex! Glad to know that my asado brought you those nice memories...

With the temperature dropping to...
minus fifteen degrees Celsius in Southwestern Ontario, Canada what a better way to stay warm? This is my version of Chili con carne presented with my Sinn 657 watch. Regards Edward ...
Yes spicy, but do you know ....
that Sinn tests their watches to well below zero for some hours as a part of regular quality control? With that in mind my chili will only warm me up not the watch. Thank you for your comment Nicolas. Regards Edward ...
"Any one that eats chili . . .
. . . can't be all bad." Attributed to Pat Garrett re Billy the Kid :-)
LOL. Thank you ....
Art. Of course we love chili in cold Canada , we could not be all bad:) Regards Edward

In all seriousness, one secret . . .
. . . to making great chili is pouring a bottle of dark lager into the pot towards the end. There's a chili prep thread on TimeOut from 2011. amp;fi=686&pi=4989038&ti=753763&msid=&s=
My secret to making chili is...
that I have five or six recipes and I alternate them, some of them include beer or wine. First one inspired by Martha Stewart. Regards Edward
Hastily taken a few mths ago...
1 shot of my 5513 on a pile of crab....there were people chasing me to serve the crabs NOW. Enjoy whatever that you are having. Cheers! SF. ...
Cool 5513 ...
I'm holding myself to not get a Rolex. I miss badly my 5513, 1680, Explorer I, my Exp II pair and my 36mm Explorer. Back to the crabs, they look almost as tasty. Cheers, Nilo
I visited the bank box this week....
.....but alas left the Mk2 in the box....... In the chocolate box.
These Englishmen.. Really catch up in enjoying choc et else !.. Like the tic-tacs also !!

Sacher Torte!!!!
Tasty, and the green "decoration" makes it better. For the ones that don't know, here is the history behind the Sachertorte: From Austria, of course. Cheers, Nilo

Beautiful setup but ...
Aussie beef!!! Why not try Argentinean or Brazilian beef. Cheers, Nilo
That is ...

Now that you mention...
For a steak, try someday a good/great Argentinean Malbec. Cheers, Nilo
The brie is coming to room temperature...
To join a glass of vino around 5pm perhaps... HAGWE all, Cheers, Tim ...

Thanks Nilo,
I think you will find German watches fascinating, Saxony especially, has been creating some stunning work for many years historically, and now is doing it again. The past 10+years have seen many a fascinating watchmaker and company emerge...A. Lange &...

Lunch and a movie

Humm ... clam chowder ...
Kevster, How you can have this meal and see a movie? I'm joking. Funny things about food and countries: I never ever saw anything similar do a clam/lobster chowder on a menu here. I hope that the movie as good. Cheers, Nilo

My contribution: Speedmaster on "olivette di Sant'Agata"
Hallo friends! In this part of the world, we've started really great celebrations in honour of Saint Agatha (Agata in Italian), our patron saint. Saint Agatha was born in Catania at the beginning of the 3rd century from a rich and noble Christian family. ...
Lovely story ...
Once more, Ppro is also culture. Despite of being from Italian origin (North of Italy, if you ask), I never hear about this celebration. Nice sweets, nice Omega. Ciao, Nilo Note: next week try to post on Fiday or Saturday, in order to participate of our "...
Wise words, Nilo...
...it's absolutely true: I've indeed learned so much, here on PPro, and not only about watches. I'm sorry I was too late for the "context", but I've had my "olivette" only then, and I wanted to share the related story about S.Agata here on WS. Thank you, ...
