    Although I'm still not home (snow cancelled my final flight), I'm still pondering what a wonderful experience I've been given.

    Especially I want to thank Michael, Oliver, David and ALL of the IWC people, but also let me thank all of the other attendees- a diverse and amazing group-it was such an incredible pleasure and honor to have met each and every one of you, some for the first time and some yet again. If only the rest of the world could meld together and get along so well...

    Meeting with Herr Klaus and Herr Pantli once again was so wonderful. I only hope I have a bit of the energy they both have when I get a bit older. And complete gentlemen. Complete.

    The booth was just jaw dropping! I mean,whomever conceptualizes and executes these things is a genius. I'm quite proud to have NOT crashed the jet, either!
    But if the both was amazing, the party was over the top! I mean, I really felt like I was on the deck of the Florintine Jones aircraft carrier. Only pictures can partially show what that was like, and I'll post some soon.

    Well that's all for now, as my plane will hopefully take off soon. Everyone send positive energy that I'll ge my luggage that is somewhere- I've not seen it for two days.

    Thanks, thanks, thanks!

    Nelson

    And the novelties!!!! I'm awed at so many great watches from IWC.

    The good news is that it is the end of the trip rather than the beginning.
    Safe travels Nelson.

    Nelson,
    Pleasure meeting you, Larry, Kevin and the rest at the SIHH. I am having a bit of jet lag hence I am up at 5am on a Saturday morning. Your big pilot brought some smiles to this lady and she told me it's one of her favourite watches she has tried among collectors along with Shing's jubilee.

    KS, it was a pleasure to meet you and your lovely friend. This watch got polar reactions, which was both interesting and something I actually liked. But in this case, I would think we can all agree it is she who makes the watch look good.
