Quite an honor for the Scheufeles and Chopard, and quite a cool award!
Apr 15, 2010,20:27 PM
I'm experiencing a most pleasant form of pride by association right now. Not the kind of pride as in hubris, but pride in PuristSPro as an organization that can bestow such an honor upon a group as interesting as Chopard. I am really glad for the opportunity to experience PuristsPro with all of you.
Best,
CaliforniaJed

Signifcance of the PuristSPro Purity Prize Award Design
By: Kong : April 14th, 2010-04:15
The motif is the purity of a square and circle; two of the three purest shapes created by Man. Yet the circle is ex-centred to demonstrate PuristS seeking perfection in an imperfect world. The dimensions incorporate the numerals 1-7-8 as that is our numer...
So tell us all the details?
By: aaronm : April 14th, 2010-06:16
How was the award designed? How are winners picked? We want to know more...MORE!!! A
Its a mystery........ (Revised version with photos)
By: MTF : April 14th, 2010-19:47
Thanks for your support.....all of YOU selected the winner without knowing it. The People, Process and Product of the PuristSPro Purity Prize are State secrets of Biblical proportions! In order to ensure incorruptibility against political lobbying and vot...
"hates fervently"?!? My dear Doctor...

that gives me and the issue far too much gravitas...and not ThePuristS way... But yes, much spirited and passion filled discussions indeed, on many issues... TM

love the concept of "一齊吧/178"....lol
Very nice design for the award
By: ArthurSG : April 14th, 2010-19:31
although I think the inscription could be better done. Congrats to Chopard as well.
Soon to become the industry's most coveted award!
By: patrick_y : April 14th, 2010-21:49
This PuristSPro award is the industry's most special award. Period. This award is a bit unlike magazine awards (who seem to often award those who advertise in the magazine itself). This is an unsolicited award that is awarded based on the need for such an...
yes, the question is the same as Ling's one.

More than that !

Considering the designer and presenter of the award hand-carry it all the way from Singapore to Geneva, traveling over 10,500Km... The weight of the luxurious box was not included too Kong
Congrats to Chopard!

Congrats to Chopard for winning the PuristSPro Purity Award! And thanks MTF and Kong for the details on the significance of the prize design. Very well thought out and an excellent physical reflection of the 1-7-8 philosophy of PuristSPro. Regards, ED-209
Congratulations To Chopard!
By: patrick_y : April 14th, 2010-20:03
An extremely well-deserved award. I still remember seeing my first Chopard L.U.C adveritsement in 2002. The L.U.C collection has come such a long ways over the past few years that it has truly become a complicated manufacture of timepieces that utilize tr...
Wow! Congrats Chopard!

I know I'm still a complete newbie, but a humble post here to offer my congratulations! I've got a lot of respect for the LUC line and hope to own one, one day...
Many thanks...

Tks Thomas for the warm welcome, As a newbie, I mostly read and try to learn (ie lurk) save for a few posts which I feel am compelled to write. Hope to learn more from the learned here, and am thoroughly enjoying this process...I did make a simple acquisi...

...on this well-deserved honor. I have been so very impressed by several of the L.U.C. models presented in recent years by Chopard, and I feel certain that the best is yet to come. Thanks, Kong, also for expounding on the concepts behind the design of the...
My congratulations to Chopard as well …

… a company that has shown consistency and passion and strong leadership, even obvious to us ‘outsiders’. The Purity Prize is a nice idea. I wish it involved more direct participation from the Purists rank and file, but it raises the profile of ThePurists...
Don't rule out a few (FEW!) extensions of the prize...

Hi, Andrew, You know we respect and appreciate the opinions of everyone, newbie and old timer alike. That's why we constantly ask, and encourage the asking of, even long held and taken for granted "truths" and that's why we love Sacred Cow Roasts. So don'...
People’s choice
By: AndrewD : April 15th, 2010-15:14
Thanks Thomas, The Purity Prize is definitely a good idea. If there can be other awards that involve a broad-based vote then I think that is also a good thing. When the wider Purist community can be included it helps ‘us’ to feel more involved and builds ...

By: MTF : April 15th, 2010-09:17
I hope we did not get too excited about the PuristSPro Purity Prize (PPP) to have missed the significance of the rest of the Chopard press release about the recent Swiss chronometry competition: " The L.U.C Tourbillon Steel Wings model, equipped with L.U....
