Feb 2011 - Euro trip report with Panerai & other content > > > >
Feb 1, 2011 and I'm back on the road (again!!!!) :-)
At YUL......................    Waiting in the Lounge:  I was starting to get worried about the weather:  A close-up of the snow on our plane.............I guess we're going to stop by the "de-icing" station!      Finally pushing back from the gate!  Landed in Frankfurt and have to change terminals:  Anyone here familiar with the Blue Tunnel???!! LOL  Flight delayed so time for an early morning snack:  Saw this in a local newspaper, only in China!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  My first stop on arriving in Geneva (after my hotel check-in) was the Panerai Boutique. Once there, a local Panerai collector, Guillaume, recognized me and we took a few photos:  He was picking up his 419 GVA Boutique Edition. here it is next my 360:   Me and Guillaume :-)  It's always great to try on the PAM 307 Luminor 1950 Pangaea Submersible Depth Gauge, love this watch!!!!       You may remember a group photo from my December visit with the Panerai team, but Bénédicte was not at the store at that time. Happily, she was there during this visit and I had the chance for a photo:  Guillaume took the photo but I asked for another just a little closer, LOL!!    Les Ambassadors is still in a temporary location, but I visited anyway and was warmly greeting by Kevin! He proceeded to show me some watches ;-) Vulcain GMT:    Bovet:    Jump Hour!!       Blancpain with Blue dial and sapphire bezel:    A very special UN Diavolo Freak!!!!!!!!!!!!        An ultra-rare UN Moonstruck!!!!!!!           I love IWC but closer attention as to be paid to QC ;-)    I was invited to a local hockey game between the host team, Genève-Servette Hockey Club, and the visiting team, HC Fribourg-Gotteron! Nothing like the NHL, but a fun evening!     The team mascot............a beautiful eagle!    Thanks for looking and stay tuned for more watches!! Have a great day! |
