Others were taking them. I was too busy trying on watches and drooling.

I felt guilty while I was there for not taking any because I wanted to share my experience with you guys.

Oh, I forgot to mention. Everyone received 2 huge goodie bags filled with catalogs, pens, hats, key chains, etc, etc. :D

Just got back from the NYC show. I'd highly recommend it to anyone in the vacinity of the remaining shows or to anyone thinking of the NYC show next year.

I had a blast trying on 250k watches. I got to see a lot of brands I only reat about and got to meet some of the watch makers representing their companies. In the case of RGM and other independents, the owners/founders/watchmakers were on hand to discuss their watches.

The second half consisted of a presentation over dinner.

Great info!! The best watch experience I've ever had.



Sounds great.

Yep, early in 2012 and late in 2013 because the hall is going under a huge construction project as soon as Basel 2012 finishes.


Actually, the halls are already under huge renovation since July (this is the first part) and they're rushing to meet the BaselWorld dates.

Maybe so, but the show has been rescheduled around the construction, hence the dates for the next three years - early, late, back to normal:

March 8 - March 15, 2012
April 25 - May 2, 2013
March 27 - April 3, 2014
