In these events, the company of people tend to be more enjoyable than the watches themselves.
So I haven't really taken much pictures of watches on display... but there were a lot!
We attended some talks participated by some known personalities.
Georges Kern (2nd from left) on online vs offline brand personalities. He later had a session to launch the new Super AVIs with the watches available to try.
François-Henry Bennahmias (far left) on epicurean collectivism. Some notes i find interesting as disclosed in the forum: AP currently only produces 45,000 watches per year. Their limited editions had reduced from 11% to just below 1.2% of total production (on the question of AP producing too many limited editions). He was wearing the Black Panther watch.
We capped off the day at the Rolex booth, where they had the 2021 releases (new DJ dials etc.), and some really blinged out pieces: there is never too much diamonds. :P
Of course none of the pieces were for sale.
At least we get offered a chocolate crown and a nice espresso without the waitlist and hyped pricing. 
I hear ya. Only chance of checking it out is on Saturday..
Any particular sessions that one “shouldn’t miss”?
Make sure to register in their website...
It gives you a QR code which they check every time. None in particular i know of, but the Horology Forum is always a nice experience. There's two for Saturday which you can try to register for... the Crypto session will be participated by Kevin O'Leary, m...
I’m registered, but not sure that I knew about the QR code part.
Will check it out. Thanks
What I love about this hobby...
... catches the fancy of a man with a mohawk and a man in a suit. Enjoy the show!
I was just thinking the same thing.
Watches certainly have become a meeting point for people all across the stylistic spectrum!

To be honest, i'm keeping my eyes peeled for the watch press reports...
They have often great back door access to various events during the week!
