Mexico City SIAR watch exhibition: A MUST ATTEND for all watch enthusiasts!

Salon Internacional Alta Relojeria - SIAR

I'd heard about SIAR for a few years now, and always in a good light.

In fact, PuristS friend Max Busser and Stephen Hallock have participated for 3 of

the past 4 years (including this one) and have always spoken very highly of the

exhibition, it's sponsors (Tiempo y Reloj, a highly regarded local specialist

magazine, and of course, founder of the exhibition and publisher of the magazine,

Mr. Carlos Alonso) and visitors.

Well, this year I committed to coming to see for myself. Afterall, any market that

has such extremes as "What? Mexico? but it's a 4th world country..." versus "It's

one of the fastest growing markets in our territory!" always piques my interest.

More later (it was the opening day today, and it's now 2a local time; most of my

friends are still at a happening party sponsored by Revolution Magazine, Mexico Edition) but for now, some quick

"snap shots" -
