Well today, our friend Ben Clymer of Hodinkee has partnered with Gilt to […]

This is a copy of a post that I made yesterday on PuristSPro. On Monday, we had the pleasure of announcing The Chocolate Frog, a special edition of 10 watches we are making to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of ThePuristS and PuristSPro.
