How's the crowd this year compared to previous years?
The recent report on the Swiss watch industry seems to indicate a slow down in demand from HK and China.
Do you see any evidence of that at the show itself?

This picture just about defines the Breitling bling that divides fans and anti-fans of the brand.

Report went down, but visitors went up (IMO). More Chinese visitors this year! China will without a doubt will still be the biggest contributor to the swiss watch federation.
