Horological Meandering

On the way and now it's time for the prepare at the airport with a great breakfast. Up we go. Classic Swiss Air lunch. On the train to Basel from Zürich. Finally here. Not so many visitor this year, 22% lesser and a lot of lesser exhibitors. So this year ...

So many cool independents, Grönefeld is one on my wish list.

Very sharp photos and the food pics have made me hungry. M4

I would like to comment on any of these, but just... wow.

1/ I really should ask to Max Busser the possibility to organize a photo session. It's been a too long time I didn't meet him and that I didn't see his watches. 2/ The GMT MASTER Météorite is THE watch I most want to see in the metal, from the Basel novel... 

I don't listen to the Moser, we only have it for a short time.

Thank you for the hard work to put this fabulous Collage together, I took my time and really enjoyed the pictures and your brief but knowledge comments.. Are there multiple meteorite dial GMT’s with different Hands? I am considering acquiring one for my c... 

Jocke, you deserve a prize, kudos for doing this! appreciate the pictures and very detailed report

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")

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

I will have to come back to it a few times to fully appreciate all the pictures and new watches. Cheers, John

or your photos will be posted at all borders 🤣🤣🤣 Oh and the camera gears too.

so there is no problems. LOL

Beautiful watches and pictures. Thanks for sharing. Vte

The commentary adds to the pictures. "Ice, baby, ice!"

Thank you (both?) for this comprehensive report.

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

No longer....this report does me just fine at a slightly less cost. Kudos to you guys and thank you so much for all of the pics. Tremendous recap!

I can imagine the efforts it takes - appreciate it. Love the Moser all black, the MB&F rotor from women’s collection. Best, Mahesh.,

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 ... 

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 Mülle... 

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

the fries with gravy was spot on.

Many many thanks to you my friend for this great report. I could not attend the show this year for obvious health reasons as you know but with your great report I have the impression I was there with you. Merci Bas Santa Mike

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!

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