But you over looked IWC and Panerai the more important brands ;-) (well bar the Egiziano, which BTW is a remake of an older OP war model) and nothing to do with collectors receding physique, well not as far as I'm aware.

The new Panerai Auto movements P.9000 do look very interesting and the new models to suit (but you don't show them here). The 312 GMT looks like a very cool 'base' gmt.

AP's Jules looks fantastic, front and bank but mainly the back.

Some of this years line are starting to look more and more like Canal st knock off's ;-) (IMHO).
Next time try to get invited to Panerai stand.

;-) Jp

I saw this year a quite interesting SIHH, at least better that we could expect before going to Geneva. You're right, the RL PLM is an amazing watch. Is it not a bit too overpriced ? Only the customers have the answer. Fr.Xavier...

Very interesting, Tony

Like you, I was wondering if the Brands will present some interesting novelties, this year, due to the fact that the SIHH was 3 months earlier, and due to the Crisis. In fact, this was a bit surprising, not to say surrealist... Crisis? What Crisis? There ...
