A cocktail party !
Well not exactly, free drinks in Brussels and some nice watches to be discovered. Th eBim is there 
!
The venue: "Hall of time" houses a fabulous collection of JLC's.
Great atmosphere and some familiar faces.
But first the goodies !
No JLC without the iconic Reverso-line off course.
Several historical pieceswere also displayed.
Unfortunately i forgot to take a picture of the 1929 101, the smallest caliber in the world, 98 components weigh around 1 gram. A record that still stands.
A very very friendly watchmaker, now wait a minute, he also told me he was a philosopher .
Some guests arrived from a polo-match apparently
Thanks again to the "équipe" of Hall of Time !
Sooo, now i know why i can't afford that Spherotourbillon !
Time for a little snack ... ...
Hmmm, this looks like a very cool place ....
... it definately is .... the food was astounding ....
Oh My God !!!!

No drinks ???
Are you sure Emmanuel didn't give us something for our thirst ? Ohhh, sh.... , my LX-7 still sitting in the box ... will have to open it now i guess :-) Bim
I agree the food ...
... in Belgium can be very nice ... mostly it is also very expensive :-( ... when compared to UK, France, Germany and Holland ... . Cheers ... hips !!! Bim
What do you mean by "a more technical review" Bim?
A clear and detailed description of the petits fours? LOL! Your report is perfect because you caught the atmosphere of the event... what is the most important! I will attend tomorrow's one. Because in Belgium, they like to do it twice. ;-) A pity we could...
You know what i mean my friend !

Nice to see the vintage pieces on display. Thanks for sharing the event with us! -MW
Some drool-moments ...

We immediately felt at home ....

It was a pleasure to meet you again at this event Bim !
Bad luck I had to leave quickly... I hope to meet you again at another event to discuss about watches a bit longer ;-) Anyway, thanks for this nice report... I forgot to take my camera and your pictures show definitively the atmosphere during the event. B...

..how comes you own a "modest" Porsche with a Swiss numberplate from my hometown???? You could have bought a very nice Spherotourbillon instead! best, stefan
