bimbeano, Thanks for the heads-up. I stayed at Conrad Brussels before and that watch shop was not there. The toy shop was there but too speacialised for my budget! The hotel restaurant took 59 minutes to bring out the cold soup (vichyssoise) from order-to... 

Nice pics! Going back to the watch store, that is a fairly interesting looking store, very symmetrical. With a very unique "round" theme. Thanks for the pics Filip! Hope you and your spouse had a good time in Brussels.

We lived in Belgium for about six years - our daughter was born there. We bought Christmas presents from that toy store more than once. thanks for bringing back fond memories (there are no such stores here in Phoenix, Arizona). As for the watches, we can ... 

I'd be so enamoured by the watches that I'd forget to snap pics! thanks for sharing J

Emanuall and his wife are really great people and very warm and welcoming. did you know that emanuall is a member of TZ they had a lovely collection then and now as well thanks le bim for this report

Aaah, no , I just re read the start of your post... You escaped from wife's shopping. Yes, H.O.T is a HOT polace to be, with some nice temptations. I agree with you with the Parmigiani Kalpa Hemisphere, which would certainly be THE Parmigiani for me. Now ... 

... a catalogue in the right hand but i won't tell you what (or who) is was holding in my left hand ..... . Have fun my friend Filip

No message body

That store looks awesome! I really love that one Corum Golden Bridge with guilloche dial. What a fun day you had! I wish I could've been there! You saw some amazing watches. I like many of the Parmigiani pieces, although admittedly the Pershing collection... 

nice watches in there ,the blancpain just left a wide smile on my face... the British Flag BRM even left a child like smile on my face and kept me thinking now thats playful... in flesh how playful is the watch Filip ?! does it look cheap?! any more pics ... 

Hi Faisal ... that Villeret also caught me .... but there were soo many beauties it's hard too chose which one you'd want to take back home. The bRM's don't lok cheap and the British Flag (non-chrono) didn't look cheap at all, i saw a chrono Italian flag ...

Eagerly awaiting Part 2 when you go back and walk out with something new on your wrist. From the watch store, that is, not the toy store. Regards, Richard.

Nice post, nice store, nice reading, nice watches, nice mate. Thanks, Filip. Best wishes from Spain. Vte
