The
Only Watch 2009 world tour was in Geneva yesterday (and today) and if the number of guests at Patrizzi & Co's Geneva show room yesterday evening was indicative of interest, it looks to be big success.
It was a very warm evening and the rooms were small

Patrizzi & Co Geneva is in a beautiful pedestrian only street.



This looks like the right place.


At first it didn't look too packed inside, but . . .

the further you went the more people there were . . .

and in the small rooms, the temperature soared.

It was very interesting listening to the comments and discussions around some of the more controversial and unusual timepieces, but more on that later.

Outside was much cooler and more comfortable than within, especially with a cold glass of champagne and good company.

Can you spot max Büsser?
More on the timepieces in my next post, but except for a handful of watches, I was disappointed that the majority of brands didn't do more.Though I may have been spoilt by those few that really excelled and all were great watches.
