Thanks for posting. Some interesting looking things in there, although I was hoping for a sneaky peek at some of the other breitling offerings (assuming they will have more of course!) other than the B04 GMT 44mm. |

Agreed. I liked a lot of the pieces though. The Antoine Preziuso, Bulgari, De Buthune, Haldimann, Louis Moinet and Ball pieces, amongst others, looked very cool. |

As a lover of weird watches it's no surprise that there are a lot of pieces here that appeal - especially near the front (although the Lacroix Masterpiece is almost affordable and looks superb. However, I have to say that I really don't see the point of the Beat Haldimann - a tourbillon watch with an opaque crystal covering it

When I see a list like that, I am always surprised, how many watchbrands exist, which I have never ever heard of before... Thanks for the list. BG Thomas |

Indeed, but that's still harmless compared to the list of exhibitioners in Basel... There is one Hall with the brands one knows, one with brands one could know with a lot of effort and about four complete halls with stuff one could never ever have heard about... |

Do I understand correctly that the Hadimann H9 Reduction has an opaque glass that can't be seen through, allowing the owner to imagine/dream of the actual time?

the H8 has a central tourbillon, but no hands to tell the time, enough that it could. The H9 takes it one step further and lets you imagine the tourbillon too. Crazy, but I like it. Do not have the neccessary funds, though. |

That H9 strikes me as the Emperor's new clothes. I think I have a new candidate for the "never ever would I" thread. |

I could "IMAGINE/DREAM" what time it is without spending one thin dime on something as crazy as this piece seems to be....guess I am in the same category with a few others here..... Excuse me, but I thought the idea of wearing a watch was to be able to tell what time it was....am I missing something here?
