I recognise a few faces there!

TAG Heuer do a great job of putting these on and they really are special occasions where you get to meet the collectors who you've been talking to online. I couldn't make this year's one unfortunately, but looking forward to hearing the stories.

I've thought for a while that we should organise a pre-Basel event for TAG Heuer collectors, with a chance to see the Basel watches in person..will give this some more thought about how to make it happen

The proportions don't look like a JH80; thoughts?

My old problem: The collectors summit takes place in Switzerland. Must have been an impressive event.
But, in the home of watchmaking, I couldn't discover any cheese. Probably it will arrive with the launch of the Autavia...

Yes, I think you can bet on that! 😉
