Part III: More watches
These watches were spotted on various wrists around the table.
Mr Silberstein was sporting the Tourbillon d'Art in titanium. Almost unnaturally light, it reminds me of the RM009 except much less serious looking. Inside beats the STT (formerly Progress) tourbillon movement and a sapphire magnifier is placed right over the tourbillon regulator giving the owner a perfect view.
This is a much earlier Silberstein model featuring only an hour hand.
A Basik in titanium
Other brands were well represented too...

JX - really great images and report considering how dark the place was...
You managed to capture all the watches accurately with your new camera set up. Hope to see MTF's photos as well! For all the rest of you - some of us had to sing for our lunch - like this duo SJX and Peter Chong here doing a what looks like a "Stylistics"...

Ouou I miss again, I think I miss again
I miss the show again, how I wanted to be there and meet my favourite designer Hear it thru the grapevine, that by next week a mouseful of fun is coming my way. Just as I planned to stop and enjoy my bounty, come a rat gnawing at my wallet. cen@jkt
