In fact I've visit Basel since 2001 except 2002 but I'v only made the reports since 2006.

horseco · 5 March 2012, 04:10 PM

Your review of 08, was spot on...

BOA · 5 March 2012, 04:40 PM

Looking forward to this year's report.

In the meantime, I just downloaded the Baselworld app on my iPhone.

Actually now I'm downloading 1584 images.

Looks like a really nice app from just having looked at it for a few minutes.

Wish I were going too.

Thanks for posting the previous editorials and pictorials. I read through your 2008 trip, as it was the year of the release of my beloved DDII. I smiled at some of your observations and reactions to the new watches.

I wonder if your opinions are the same now as 5 years ago. Or, if like me, your perception of a time piece changes with more exposure to said piece.

Anyway, thanks, and I look forward to your pictures and reports!

FNFZ4 · 6 March 2012, 02:40 AM
