I do attend these kinda events, if they are held here in Tokyo

Because i'm invited to almost all of them! One of my most memorable was still the House of Lange event here in Tokyo last October!

It was indeed wonderful to have a look at some wonderful pieces (this was where i 1st held the Lange 31), and tried hands on with engraving, polishing and assembling! At the end of the day you even got to take home some Lange 1 chocolates( which as a pun,had the normal "expiration date" for foods represented as the "power reserve of 2 weeks" Hahahaha) a certificate with the photos of you and the 3 watchmakers at their respective "stations" and their signature, and even a Lange watch maker's coat with the event details embroidered into it!

And i cannot agree more with you, that no matter how much one's passion is for watches, if he or she just reads from books/magazines, and see photos only on the internet and other media, one cannot fully experience the world of haute horlogerie to the max!

Well, if time permits, and if i'm invited to other events in other countries, i do would love to attend them all!

Speaking of which, i already have a Breguet event coming up this sunday here at the Nicolas G. Hayek centre in Tokyo!

Cheers

Stephen
