My Baselworld 2018 Top 20 watches (sorted alphabetically)
By: foversta : April 2nd, 2018-04:38
I had a lot of trouble putting together the list of my 20 favorite watches from the Baselworld 2018 edition. The proof that it was a rich and dense Fair and anyway, I perceived it as having a higher interest compared to the previous edition. However, we n...
Akrivia, Grand Seiko, Chopard, Omega, De Bethune, Breitling, Reservoire, Zenith - I agree!

.. and your praise for Grand Seiko - it means A LOT from you! Thanks, FX, for detailed reports and diligence. As always, very much appreciated. But, don't work too hard, mon ami. Take a good care of yourself! Ken
Thank you Xavier for your indepth analysis of your Top 20!

Here are my favourites in no particular order. I have been unable to resist the temptation and have placed an order for two of them! Yes I know, embarrassingly weak will power on my part! The mesmerising dial from De Bethune The Longines Military watch in...
thanks FX for the recap, it was enjoyable to read!

Very much agree with your 2 points: (1) neo-retro trend is like comfort food. We don’t always want 3-star Michelin, sometimes a plate of mom’s best dish is more than enough to keep us happy. (2) the price vs. value conundrum is still there even if some br...
Great review _ thanks

Have to say though, the Urwerk reminds me of something A Bond villan might use! Cheers JML

FrX, On more than one of your selections, I'm almost ready to agree. I went further and selected three watches for the short shortlist. Regards, MTF Vianney Halter Grand Seiko Hi Beat Omega Seamaster ...
Thank you FX

Alphabetical order? Such a subtle way of pointing your no1😉. Its unanimous No 1
Thank you, Fx
By: rnaden : April 2nd, 2018-17:58
I can see how it was a huge task to select these twenty, let alone spend the time researching all that was launched and photographing each. The Vianney Halter is my top pick though I would readily agree with your list. Thank you again for all the work in ...
thanks for sharing Fx...

let me dream with wide open eyes... Akrivia - Chronomètre (white enamel version) : the movement seems to descend directly from heaven ! De Bethune Starry Varius : the dial is already heaven !! what is your 'one' personal fav ?! Best, mahesh.,
Thank you!

That was fun! the Rexhep--if these guys can deliver-- will be an instant legendary watch. Another child Dufour gave birth to. To think that Rex is 28!! It is mind-boggling. That Zenith makes me think of some crazy many-headed and armed dancer--I like it--...
Great list but ..

Outstanding!
