Great pics Khalid
Looks like you had a great time. Zurich is such a beautiful city and the weather was gorgeous last weekend. Did you get chance to visit any of the watch stores on the Bahnhofstrasse

Thanks for sharing Khalid.
Didn't know they have so many enamel pieces this year.

I think the Nautilus 5990 will be a big success, not a fan of the steel 5960. Mayby with another dial but not with this white dial


Concerning the Zenith you like … I LOVE it !
As you know it is a very big watch but such a special piece with a VERY, VERY special movement. Imo a must have.

I wear it quite often, don't care it's too big LOL




2 friends of mine have one too … not ofter you will see 3 of these in the same room :-)
only 250 pieces made worldwide so 3 of these together is rare

no,
they already made a lot of these and they are never in the catalog. I remember dials with Indians, flowers, tigers, fish, butterfly, horses …
But this years there seem to be more than previous years

I've seen the other models as well, true pieces of art.

Are these application models then? I've never seen them at a PP AD.

Great shots.

It appears you caught Mr. Stern on the same day he filmed the interviews on the Patek site: Baselworld 2014

I love the display stands with the mirrors

Thanks guys ..... Much apreciated.

Forgot to mentioned that I've visited the stage off Ulysse Nardin to see my ordered watch (The Horse) # 2/88. Unfortunately I couldn't picked it as my AD should carry it to Saudi A. first for VAT procedures and I'll collect it these days from Riyadh Boutique.





Thanks GOD, it looks fantastic on realty (I bought it once they released it on press). Now I trust my humble taste :-)

This awesome piece were made for the Chinese Year (2014) but for somehow it has a link with Arabian Culture.

Great post! Question, in every single photo except one you have a broad grin on your face, what happened for the one in which you look really serious??!!

Are you getting the gothic pieces? They look fantastic!

Hahah. I was absent minded while taking that photo :-)

My vision is: the real & nice smile cost you nothing and its really gives your younger look.
