25-piece Limited Edition Purple 5130P to mark Edinburgh-based jewellers Hamilton & Inches' 150th Anniversary.

conkers · 24 September 2016, 11:13 AM

Awesome. Did you get one?

texex91 · 24 September 2016, 11:19 AM

5 years in the making for a dial change.

Interesting.

jon_jon · 24 September 2016, 11:24 AM

Very cool! I know they have done many different color variations on the dial, but purple is definitely something different

codecow · 24 September 2016, 12:40 PM

That is awesome.

incontrol · 24 September 2016, 01:01 PM

Love the dial! Congrats!

One month for the dial change eleven months for quality control and four years for a pre launch service when they realised after qc that it still didn't work???? 😀

Roger, it’s me you’re talking to, remember.

You should know by now, my stance on the brand and the business

I’m not the OP from the other thread – just reporting something of potential interest.

And the good news is since there are only 25 pieces, the apprentices should have had ample oppty to work on them :-)

Thanks for sharing!

Here's a YouTube video of it, too. You really can see the purple. Beautiful.

Do you not like the brand?

To answer that properly and fully, would require a long post – this isn’t the time.
This thread belongs to the special H&I 5130P pieces, but in brief, the answer is…not much/not really.

AK797 · 25 September 2016, 01:50 AM

Looks great but why Royal Purple when Scotland will be ceding from the Union soon, should be St Andrew's blue or the red of their lion rampant.

KarlS · 25 September 2016, 02:13 AM

Nice colour but I hope we can recognize PR bollocks and not take the 5 years at face value. They did Mecca, they did Beirut and a few others. If each took 5 years we would predate the 5110!!!

I'm genuinely interested why you spend so much time on the Patek forum if you don't like the brand - what's the attraction? There are brands I don't like, I just don't post on their sub forums.

Like I say though, it's a genuine question.

Mecca
Shanghai
Jerusalem
Edinburgh
Beirut

What else?
