Your wrist will never recover from this.....
But in all seriousness, that is precisely the report I was looking to see. You managed to capture the most interesting timepieces, INHO, in the wild and on the wrist. I would love to own quite a few of those, but alas I'll instead enjoy your scans from afar.
Thanks for posting.

Just back from Baselworld... my collection of wristshots...
4 days in basel, more than 5800 pics, more than 30 appointments... a strong headache on Saturday (thanks to the Harry Winston team for the 2 pills which were a true relief...) and more important, a lot of encounters and chats with friends! I think that al...
Having spent the best part of a day doing just one all I say is......
The very best of luck to you!!!! Best Imran
Thanks, Fx... There is one I was expecting more than the others. ;)
Welcome back! Best, Nicolas

Thank you very much for this WS post, Fx!
A lot of beautiful watches this year. But also some that makes me wonder - like the new Sonata..? Best Blomman
This is the best Basel posting
Francois, There are so many pieces not even listed on the OEM websites! As always the RG pieces look fantastic on your wrist. I was going to make several individual comments but I'm speechless at the moment The Laurent Ferrier piece looks so much better t...
WOW, FX!
In the words of Gustavo Cerati of Soda Stereo... Gracias, Totales!!! www.youtube.com Superb compilation of wristshots! Alex
Thanks for the preview pics...
To say that you have been busy is quite an understatement. I look forward to your perspective throughout the coming year. By the way, could they have made the Zenith model any bigger? Yikes! Dave
That lucky wrist of yours....
.... FX, is really giving us eye candy! Thanks FX for such a exciting report! I'm mightily impressed by the - De Bethune (can they stop producing models after models of drool worthiness so our heart can have a little rest?), the GO openwork (All I can say...
Thanks for your time and efforts FX
Looking forward to the reports later. Were you travelling light? The same jumper for 4 days? Regards, Richard.
Wow, welcome back with 5800 pics!!!!
I always admire your for being inpartial to any brands. A few are very intriguing to me - What is that Voutilainen? Breguet 10 Hz and Jurgensen... These are what I am much anticipating more details. Thanks again! Ken
Thanks FX. Great work
I feel like I'm eating paella. Lotsa variety in one post. Some I like Some I dislike Some I love Some very ugly Some very interesting All in all very satisfying read. I think the 1 Hertz, LF time only, PSM serpent calendar and Speedy is a winner in my boo...
Well done FX!
We are so fortunate to have you present such incredible pics. of these amazing pieces. The first one knocked me off my feet - what is it? There were others such as the DB which made me go WOW! Thanks for sharing and hope you get some rest soon. Fernando
I personally love the Hublot Ferrari BB in gold!
The GO skeleton is also gorgeous. Some look ridiculous but there are also some who are outstanding. Thanks for the pics!
It is always
..very joyful to see your awesome wristshosts post from exhibitions. Every year I wait for this eagerly and once more you didn't disappoint me There are some indeed great pieces for me this year on baselworld DB (of course).. One Hertz brothers Awesome G ...
You are THE man. :)
Thanks for doing what I would have loved to do and had no time, and share it. Fantastic pics, a very fine selection. Cheers Vte
Astounding. 5800 pictures...
This sampling is absolutely superb. Thank you for your wonderful efforts!
I am a bit taken aback
No offense to you or Kari, but I am quite surprised that you were permitted to put the unique tourbillon on your wrist when it is the property of someone else who has not yet taken delivery! When my new KV piece arrives my hope will be that I am the first...
Taken aback
Whist I can understand Garys stance completely, to clear the air, Kari was given carte blanch by myself in regard to promoting our tourbillon at Basel. Whilst I am justly proud to be the owner of such a beautifully crafted piece, my satifaction comes in f...
Marvellous sentiment Colin...
It's a very personal thing: whilst agreeing entirely with Gary's view had there not been such carte blanche given, your approach is to be much admired. So, too, is your patronage of a Master such as KV, from which we all benefit. Congratulations on a love...
Very generous indeed!
Colin -- many thanks for weighing in here, and please accept my apology for rushing to your defense when obviously no help was needed! Like you, I am a big fan of sharing the joy of my watches by having others handle and wear them (and of course it doesn'...
Thumbs up Colin!
It's really great to see you, and also a lot of us fellow PuristS like Gary are actually advocates of sharing their watch-loving passion, even on a physical level that we allow others at watch fairs to experience these wonderful time pieces that we're for...
Beautiful pictures!
I find the Haldimann H9 still challenges me. On an intellectual level I try to justify it -- maybe it's the ultimate poetic complication (your imagining of the time display adds the "poetry"), maybe it's a watch that takes advantage of the sonic propertie...

Don't worry about the reports mon ami !!
We've got plenty of time so don't rush it Does your wrist hurt now? Bim
look Ma, no buttons !!!
Hi, Your collection of photos is mouth watering and eye-candy. In the third watch from the top you show a Bell & Ross chronograph that looks cool and intriguing. Where are the pusher buttons? Please provide more info. Thank you for sharing. Best regards, ...
re: look Ma, no buttons
I just realized this watch is NOT a chrono though the sub dials had me thinking initially that the top is a minute counter and the bottom one an hour counter. Jack
there are some funky beasts in there.
the Bell & Ross is an unexpected diversion from the usual, others are what you'd expect from the brands, but still funky. thanks for all the time taken to do this FX best Graham
Thank FX, for breaking away from the norm.......
And showing us an array of beautiful timepieces, that I may well not have looked at. Your photos, as usual, are first rate. I shall look forward to reading your report, sometime in the future Regards Tony
the luckiest wrist in the world!
Thanks for the show. Wow. I still like the Laurent Ferrier best, what a sensuous watch. Best Andreas
