No comments for the moment but they will come !

My fav of the Fair and it is not because I'm the Harry Winston moderator ! I was a fan of the Sequential One by Denis Giguet and this Opus 11 is stunning:

Are you a rebel ?

A great surprise: the superlative watch by Dominique Loiseau:

I was so happy to discover the Tuscar !

Not a 2011 novelty... but I couldn't miss it !

Martin Frei is happy: with the bracelet, the 202 is achieved.

The perfect watch for IGOTT2 ?

Key Points from the Discussion

The wristshots offer a more authentic view than press release photos, with the Harry Winston Opus 11, new Hublot, Haldimann, Kari Voutilainen, Gauthier, and Breguet pieces receiving particular praise.
A keen observation notes that the Roman numerals 'IV' and 'VIII' on Kari Voutilainen's Vingt-8 appear reversed, prompting speculation about a potential explanation or a unique design choice.
The Harry Winston Opus 11 is highlighted as a favorite for its stunning design and whimsical, impressive approach to the hour change mechanism.
The Harry Winston Midnight and another unspecified Harry Winston model are noted as particularly appealing, with a request for more information on their specifications.
Aaron Becsei's Dignitas evolution is described as a beautiful baroque piece with subtle power reserve, possessing significant 'presence' despite not being an everyday wear.
The new Harry Winston Midnight watches are also well-received, with a desire to see their casebacks, and the big date model is specifically inquired about.

That was the first thought that sprung to mind when I saw the novelty on your wrist. Bizarre combination of elements to me on that B&R. Some of your other photos REALLY intrigue though! Can't wait for further impressions. Cheers, Daos

FX, thank you so much for those wrist shots as usual. They tell you more than the press release photos. Opus 11 is really intriguing, new Hublot looks very interesting, Haldimann is of course an art, and Kari Voutilainen looks nice on the wrist, Gauthier is nice, Breguet is stunning...!!!! Oh I so envy you! Thanks! Ken
