Super-big thanks, Guys!!
I'm still buzzing after a great weekend..!
Bernhard & Philipp worked incredibly hard to put together a great event for everyone's enjoyment that went perfectly - thanks guys!!
I have a few crappy pictures to add later, but this was pure watch-passion on an international basis!
A real pleasure to meet up with some great watch people, put faces to names, enjoy watch-talk and watch-watching, and eat & drink waaay too much - thank you everyone who made this such a great event!!

A few more pictures...
Somebody loves LV...
Enough milSubs to equip a small Platoon...
The International Man of Mystery whips the Comex collection into shape...
At midnight the Patent Pendings turn back into pumpkins...
Like bees around the honey-pot...
More James Bonds than even Q-Branch can handle...
It takes a delicate touch to line up these treasures: our host was brought to his knees...
I don't even want to think about the collective value of these beauties...
Testing the bread-rolls with a Geiger counter for traces of radium; no wonder their eyes are glowing red..!
And the morning after at the stunning Chateau... before the Sunday lunch diners arrived in their helicopters(!)...
Thank-you again, Bernhard and Philipp, and everyone else who made this weekend happen.
And did we agree, next year, the same thing... but we can't bring the same watches? Looks like we might have a challenging twelve months!
