Baselworld 2015 We start early this year as you can see. We was so tired so after a 2 hour drive we find out we have drive in the wrong direction. So what to do? Just grab a last minute ticket to Zürich. At least they have a nice breakfast at the airport ...

Hi kolosstt, just in case you are using the same tablet as I do (mine has a piece of fruit on the back) you may want to try viewing Jocke's report in "reading mode". Worked nicely for me. All pictures were correct then. Best, Martin

the forum software should be wider, now it's only a 1/3 of my screen and the sides are black. Then the pics will not fits and the software squeezing the sides and therefore they become distorted. So just had the forum part been wider , it would have worke...

.. and probably to touch, as well. One humble Q: what happened to the pics' y-axis ? - They all are vertically distorted.. Resolution issue when uploading ? Scaling phenomenon ? Thx again for your report, Best, hs

Some questions

 
 By: MTF : March 26th, 2015-05:54
Dear both, Thank you for your whirlwind tour at Baselworld 2015. Some questions: You took an airplane to Switzerland this time instead of the usual drive from Sweden? How can you drive the wrong way for 2 hours with GPS navigation? Did you stay in Zurich ... 

Some answers.....................

Of course we didn't drive wrong it was my way to get the story a little more interesting. :-) :-) :-) We stay in Zürich, Basel is not a option: About the most affordable watch, I don't really know. IMHO this year was not much new watches.

Edible content indeed

 
 By: BentN : March 26th, 2015-12:10
and a lot of interesting info from the fair. Even of interest to one that really have lost the watch-bug the recent Months, but it is always nice to scan through a post like this that includes more than just pure watch images :-) Thank you, Bent

Another great Basel report

We wait for your report every year and it never disappoints. I feel like I was with you on the trip. Do I have a favorite in the lot. Not sure yet. Going back in to view the report one more time. Thanks Jocke. Bill
