Did a quick unplanned tour of the W&W first Asia Horlogerie Exhibition in HK this morning to see what it was all about. An absolute amazing event and a must see for anyone who is remotely interested in timepieces! I stayed longer than expected and plan to return on the 28th. Sept. which is the last day of the event when I hope to meet a few fellow Purists who are coming from abroad especially for this event.
I was very glad to bump into a few friends including the CEO of PuristS, Mr. MTF or Mel to his friends - (without the current Mrs MTF I might add). 
As usual, no camera with me so please excuse the poor phone pics.

My favourite

Thanks Fernando for a great tour
A nice tour, and not bad pictures considering .... Can you give any details of the very special Lange 1 Tourbillon PC I saw hidden amongst your pictures? It looks spectacular ! Dean
Hi Dean
That's the Handwerkskunst version limited to 15 pcs. boutique edition, that's just been unveiled today. It looks much better in the metal I may add. :) cheers fernando

Thanks for your comments Ling.
It was indeed an event that was sorely missing from the Asian circuit. The organizers did a great job for this first W&W and I'm sure it'll be an annual event that will continue to impress and offer insights into the industry for those who attend. Che...
