Actually I attended the last 2 QP and was really impressed...

But I also have to work sometimes and cannot attend all events... This autumn I shall attend GPHG next week. Hope it will be interesting...
The watches you shouldn't have missed at SalonQP 2016: 30 brands - 45 pictures!

If I could choose only 3 timepieces among all of these beauties, below would be my selection and ranking: 3/ Bovet ("too much" but I love that) 2/ GP 1966 skeleton (very modern) 1/ KV first pic (just perfect) Thanks again Best wishes Alkiro

Thanks FX for this fantastic report....
This was my first year at Salon QP and I'm quite sure I'll be adding it to the list in the future. It was great to meet the watchmakers and see many brands that are just very difficult to see normally. To watch and chat to the Lange engraver doing work un...
