Did they solve the bouncy wobbling floor problem at Watches & Wonders?
In 2013, the floors in all the booths bounced and wobbled just from guests walking by. It was worst in Cartier and Lange booths (shock! horror! probe!) because they were the biggest with huge displays. It did not FEEL luxurious to see the displays wobbling but it did make the sparkling diamonds "move" more light.
The Lange dial painter had big issues getting lines straight.
I suspect that the power of Cartier would have "cured" the problem this year.

Watches & Wonders - a few more pics
Well, a fun 2nd year of W & W has passed and despite a lower than expected turnout (due to the protesters outside), everyone who attended had smiles on their faces. Here's my take on the event: Pigging out on the super-sweet AP chocolate Before: Afte...
Thanks for your pictorial report. One question....
Compared to the SIHH, is WW reserved to some " happy fews ", or is ti allowed to public in general? I find many similarities between SIHH and WW, but I don't know if WW is allowed the the public. I agree with your last sentence. This kind of event allow y...
W&W is open to anybody with an invitation
…but that invitation is pretty easy to acquire through your favourite AD.
Watches and Wonders open to 3 types of visitors
Nico Ostensibly, there are 3 guest lists: Media guests. Brand guests. Dealer guests. But as in Life, there are two tiers in each list...VIP and Regular ;) I would say W&W is halfway between Baselworld and SIHH in entry difficulty. Generally, the brand...

In general, only VIP guess are allowed to enter on the 1st day exhibition. Regards Ling

Things were less bouncy this year
but there was still a major indentation in the ground in the AP booth. I agree, it sure didn't make the HKCEC venue look that professional for holding such an event.
Invest in the Mrs's diamond-bezel AP today . . .
. . . and reap dividends in the future when it comes to buying that special piece for yourself ;-) . . .
thanks a lot for the report Psychotic!
A good way to depict the atmosphere of W&W! Thanks! Fx

Looks like a fun event. Those AP's look great on you and your wife :) Regards, ED-209
