Full agreement here...
Cartier and Montblanc were both great, but one would need to make the effort to look behind the curtains.
As for the images, we increasingly are convinced that operating with as little and as light equipment as possible benefits the result. Of course we chose only the best (Canon, Leica, ;-)), but in one case only the iPhone (!) could deliver!
Cheers (and I really regret not having met you at SIHH).

SIHH / Geneva 2014 -Montblanc, Roger Dubuis, Cartier, Greubel-Forsey and more makers and masters
As always, SIHH 2014 was as much about watches as it was about encounters with watchmaking masters, industry executives and watch collectors. Many of them have meanwhile turned into true friends... I had the great pleasure to (once again) share all my app...
Thanks for the intro to your reports
I know how remarkable they are and I just can't wait ! Cheers, Mark
Thanks for the hard work in the trenches
Loved your introductory post and can't wait to read your in-depth reporting! Cheers, Anthony
Thanks Magnus!
And all PuristSPro moderators for all your reports. I have been enjoying these posts as even though i am not in Geneva, I feel right in SIHH with all of you there! Looking forward to more reports from moderators and fellow Purists who attended SIHH cheers...
that's our aim, making those who could not attend...
feel like they were actually there. One caveat: all our reports come through our personal lenses - literally and metaphorically… Magnus
Thank you so much for your effor, time and resouces you have given into this.

Your teaser pics are absolutely stunning, Magnus, Oliver...
Even in cropped small teaser size, the sharpness, color fidelity, and above all three dimensionality, are simply in a class of their own. Chapeau! " . It is a collection that is remarkably refined and does not, like so many MB collections before, loudly s...

me too (Oliver and the rest of the team as well!)
I was delayed coming in from Asia and didn't arrive until later in the week... :-( Soon, I hope! TM
Can't wait to read your reports, Magnus and Oliver.
A pity we couldn't meet, Magnus! Best, Nicolas
There is always 'next time'...
but Nicolas, what happened? This time I even did not see you in the 'masses'? Magnus
I was floating in the air... Looking for my next prey.
But the Roger Dubuis Eagle tried to compete with me. Next time, for sure! Best, Nicolas ...
That was a false rumour. I crossed it in the last floor of the Patek Boutique.
With a plastic seal on the head... ;)
Thanks a lot for that nice article - and a small comment ...
While I greatly adore Mrs. Forestier-Kasapi for her achievements in the development of horology, the UN "Freak" is not one of them. It is correct that Carole - back then still Miss Forestier - had been employed as head of development of UN, and had brough...
Thanks for the clarification...
I was aware that there were conflicting information out there regarding Mrs Forestier's input on the Freak, thus I left it as I did. Your additional tidbits are much appreciated! Cheers, Magnus
