Thanks Gordon, I’m hoping in some Calatrava, even if I know it’s unlikely given I received Boccadasse last year... if I have to choose among what I’ve seen so far, it’s the 5086G elephant...

I asked my AD and he had already made an application with my name on when he went to Basel, now we can only wait and see if I got lucky again.. 😇😀 I’ll see the Italian bosses in late May, I might know something then😉
Any more news about this new reference 5086G?
Are you in Basel now? Enjoy!😀

As magnificent....

as all of them are, I would honestly wear only number 9. Thanks a bunch for the images. Cheers, Filip

You are most welcome !

The MR is a good choice ! Good luck and hope to see your wrist shots !

I don't find these as nice as the women's pieces

Not sure if its the subject matter or the execution... For men's pieces, I prefer JLC's renditions, which speaks a lot to JLC's excellence in this regard. Cheers, John

Laddies’ have some great ones !

Ones with diamonds would require carefully settings !

All types of taste

For my taste, i would not be comfortable with a single one of those on my wrist.

yes, different...

The first red train is awesome but also the others are great.

Thanks a lot Gordon! That's quite a variety, and I do like that they are starting to do enamel on the Golden Ellipse as well, I believe it's a first...

As we were discussing earlier, I still haven't seen any wood marquetry pieces, so hopefully this is not it. I would also be surprised if the 5177 reference won't appear this year, since it was only introduced last year. Final question, for you or any othe... 

Hi Fab, you are most welcome and glad that you found some pieces...

 
 By: GLau : March 24th, 2019-10:55
you like ! Best of luck getting them ! The Ellipse enamel watches look quite unusual and refreshing. Which one(s) did you ask for ?

Will there be any marquetry pieces this year do you know?

Hi Huei, you are welcome and I have ...

not seen or hear of any marquetry dials ! Let me ask around and revert to you.

Another vote for that red Deco/Streamline train!

An unexpected design. Ano “All aboard for the 20th Century Limited! Next stop New York City!” Nuevo

Enamel trains have been executed well indeed ! Best of...

luck getting an allocation !

Wow.. Exquisite!

Are these application pieces? How much they usually retail for if you don’t mind.. I really love the first photo in your post! The peach colour birdy dial looks stunning! 😍 Thank you very much for sharing 🥂 J

Hi J, these are special pieces that your AD must fight...

 
 By: GLau : March 24th, 2019-11:02
to get an allocation for and then decide which client should get the piece. Hence, IMO not an application piece but a strong relationship with your AD is key. Enamel pieces go for U$80k to $100k depending on the metal and intricacy of the work. Good luck ... 

I do like birds 1, 2, and 4 a lot!

But I probably can't afford them unless some big windfall hits me.

Patrick, I hope you will soon win...

Impressive dials.

Works of art. I'd have a hard time if I had to choose just one, I like them all and love a few. Thanks for sharing. Vte

lot of work and patience !! I can never be a rare handcraft master ! :-( However, I really do appreciate the works by these artisans !

I think my favourite should be the elephant

The blue and white cities ones look interesting but I can't tell what cities they are

Hi traineract, you chose ...

well by picking the elephant ! The theme was produced last year with a similar safari theme but this year it featured the Big land mammal !

What a fantastic report, Gordon

 
 By: ChristianDK : March 24th, 2019-04:22
I agree with you the trains and the Elephant 👍👌 My favorite train was the third one. Thank you Christian

Thanks Christian for your kind comments !

 
 By: GLau : March 24th, 2019-11:12
The trains are great ! Did you ask your AD for this one ?
