Truth is, most folks here are just waiting for Rolex to commence their announcements. Not so much what else is going on at Basel 2018. Correct?

Works finally. But since I'm at work I can't listen to the audio. Sad there are no subs.

Well, hope they show some images.

Focusing on concentration rather than expansion. Quality over quantity.

Why? Nobody will really know if she makes a mistake. She can kind of say whatever she wants.

They're Swiss. They could probably do it into three languages at once.

There's an irony to claiming that the watch industry is changing with the times when the big launch is handled like this. The webstream has been patchy, the opening address openly praised the concept of elitism, and this is all being mediated via a stuffy press conference tuned more to back-slapping than garnering the world's attention.

If I were a CEO of one of the exhibitors I wouldn't be at all happy about this.

Reading this thread sounds to be infinitely better than watching the live stream....not that it’s working for me :-)

Looking forward to some photos!
