Salon QP: pictures of the opening cocktail
Nov 08, 2013,01:56 AM
The 2013 edition of the Salon QP has started yesterday with the opening cocktail which took place at the Saatchi Gallery. The Salon QP is becoming a key event for watches lovers in Europe and I could have this feeling thanks to the successful event organized yesterday, the raising number of exhibiting brands and the crowd who attended the cocktail. I propose you to browse the pictures I took during the event in order to depict you its atmosphere.
Let's start the show!

Some pictures of the context of the cocktail. I love the Saatchi Gallery, I do believe it is a perfect venue for this kind of event:
Once again, James Gurney and his team organized perfectly the event and it was for me a true pleasure to attend it because it gave me the opportunity to meet a lot of watchmakers and friends. And as we know, watchmaking is firstly a question of people who work together around a project.
