Bremont - Direct from Baselworld - Report 1: The Stand

[Alt1tude]

Well I'm finally here - at Baselworld and the weather is warm, sunny.. What a great day to see some watches! Here's the first photo report, some snaps from the stand, which you can imagine is pretty busy. Lots of meetings with different people going on - Plus bad news from last night - During the cocktail party / launch of the victory watch a number of Bremont watches were stolen. Whilst these were not any of the new collection it did include some older pieces and a couple of personal watches owned by the guys. Bremont are doing everything possible to phone / email and tweet to see if the culprits can be caught (So if you see any come up for sale minus boxes do let Bremont know so they can check it out).

Okay on with the snaps...

The main entrance to Basel looks very strange this year - there is work underway to create a bigger hall so the old external building is now inside another bigger building!

The room is much bigger than last year with loads of meetings taking place

The display by the door has watches, but this was the area that was stolen from last night

Feels like I'm there! Wonder if they will have a black vintage strap released? If so, would love to see it on a black ALT1-P. Keep up the brilliant work, Piers!

Just seen the Victory pics. it looks amazing, not what I thought it was going to be but in a good way. I also really like and hope they release the Croc strap through the boutique as I think it would really dress up my P.

I want a USB stick!! Nab one for me!!

[catdailey]

Me too! New Bremont owner, too :D

Didn't they have watches stolen last year as well?

Must be a racket within the hotels or something!
