    As if the watch fair and the IWC booth weren't enough, several of us were lucky enough to get into the party on Tuesday night of the week of IWC. One whole hall of the Palexpo complex was the venue, and it was amazing.

    The F A Jones aircraft carrier was the place, and we were walking on the deck of this ship. Here I am getting admission from the Naval officer.

    Once on board, it was an amazing site. Casual seating was on the deck, and they were very clever.

    The bow tie brigade was there:

    From the conning tower, here was the view of the foredeck:

    I was trying to get a very beautiful picture when Larry stepped into the right side:

    Attached to our wine glasses was this warning:

    Entertainment included the Swiss precision drum corps:

    Things got really going with the Brian Ferry concert:

    It was quite the evening, and I much appreciated being included.
