but Grönefeld is growing on me. The biggest disappointment was Swatch Group was not there becaue thay was a big patr of the fair and this is the first report in long time without Glashütte Original included. At least we run into the former CEO Frank Müller for a quick chat.
The best schnitzel (cordon bleu) in Basel will you still get at Restaurant Alexander IMHO, 200 meters from the fair.

You found watches that weren't shown on other websites, love the De Bethune chronograph.(so nice to see one without a tachymetre scale, or should that be "tacky")
Thanks, Jocke, for the tough work!

De Bethune and MB&F clearly stole the show. I am largely unimpressed by the rest - forgive me my ignorance. What really disturbs me though is the gravy on the Schnitzel!! Best, Daniel
Excellent.

I actually enjoyed looking at your photos more! The Vantablack is quite an experience, the blackest thing I have ever looked at.
Wow...great share Jocke !

I can imagine the efforts it takes - appreciate it. Love the Moser all black, the MB&F rotor from women’s collection. Best, Mahesh.,
An incredible photo journey
By: keks : March 29th, 2019-23:49
It must have been a lot of fun and efficiently spent time on your trip. A most comprehensive photo tour and I feel as if I was there in person. It is a great joy to see a lot of pieces that have not been given as much attention As they deserve. I have to ...

And the very detailed pics! I saw the Grönefeld live and really like it especially the one with salmon dial, even if I know the price is really far from my budget! cheers Flavio
Simply the best!

This is one of the best Basel short report I read/seem so far all these years. Nomos is drawing my interest with their own movement. Thank you sir!
Thanks as always Jocke

Great report and I really enjoy seeing the innovations and beautiful watches being created. Things I will never get to see in person, sadly.
