Friends,

As The Watches & Wonders 2013 closes in Hong Kong, I can make a quick Hot Post with this iPad thingy!

Most of the novelties from SIHH 2013 were shown plus a few pieces like the concept prototypes ID-One and ID-Two. Of course the ID watches are not for sale and kept under lock & key but as a special treat for The Watch magazine and PuristS readers in Hong Kong........

Mystery Tourbillon

More turning from Cartier

Bewitching green eyes of La Panthere......

Croco plays a cameo role

La Phoenix does a turn

Exquisite brooch and watch-in-one

Happy shiny ladies with the masculine Cartier MC background

Why they were happy!

ID-One out of its security box and that was a very special gesture!

Niobium-Titanium alloy

ID-Two was also unleashed and some PuristS were weak at the knees.....

This was an impossible event......

Although the ID watches are not for sale, some concepts are transposed into the production models and here is one of them......

I like it when a dream becomes reality!

Regards,

MTF

I never expected to see a hands on with the incredible ID Two concept watch. This one blows me away, not just for its technical achievements, but also for the very cool vacuum sealed transparent ceramic case ! Looking forward to seeing something realized from this dream in the next decade. Thanks MTF. You seem to be loving the iPad ! Dean

Geo, In a culture of "face", the gesture was deeply appreciated; that we could actually see and hold (carefully) the 'impossible' watches. I have never seen them "out of the bulletproof box"! Thanks for your support. Regards, Melvyn
