Horological Meandering

My Basel pics. Part 1.

Mar 27, 2010,04:15 AM

We flew from Barcelona to Zurich on sunday morning.

I saw this beauty at the airport, what a beautiful saloon, wish I had the chance to drive it on a two or three weeks trip. No more, that's all. I am sure it has to be a real pleasure.

Waiting for the rest of the team:

Some wrist shots to begin with:

Finger shot:

Killing time on the airplane:

Basel railway station:

i wonder what kind of bombs this airplane would drop.

On the tram:

Here we are:

It was cloudy but, who cares?

i have something towards this strategy of hublot in creating massive number of models, but at the same time i cant deny the beauty of the majority of their outcome. JD is another world of beauty. Thanks . Faisal

Bell& Ross will make a hit with their 123 watch, nice price for majority of people and charming looks. Glad to know that the bulgari are keeping the arena in the GG line. Thanks . Faisal

Looks like you and your friends had fun on this trip to Basel. Interesting about the Breguet La Tradition. I don't like the placement of the power reserve indicator, it's too close to the dial. Regards, ED-209

Thanks for sharing your good travel to Basel, Vicente!

It's so real it's almost i'm transported to the fair. I feel that this years pieces are a tad dry, with exception to the new tourbillion freak. Hublot is nice too, and so is the Breguet on steroids.

Muchisimas gracias, Vicente
