Back to topic, truly enjoy the stillness you projected in the photos. Great technique of combining color & mono, and great arrangement of composition. There is somehow a bit Jonas Bendiksen. I'd bookmarked your blog. :thumbsup:

part 2 will be posted late tonight or tomorrow. super tired due to missed transfer flight, lost luggage, hectic schedule and aching body. whole series should cover about 4-5 parts including omega booth, talk with omega CEO, omega specialties, a bit more on baselworld, omega manufactory and museum visit.

In the next posting, I will be elaborating on the pieces that were shown to me and the related information about them including my interview with Stephen Urquhart.

great pics and coverage... looking forward to the next installment. cheers.

Nice, keep it coming.
btw, I wonder why they keep the whole place so dark in there?
-
Thanks again! I'm guessing the dim lights are to allow the displays to shine?
Anyway, next part is up...

The Seiko Credor Minute Repeater is making me drooling big time... ;D
Do they happen to have Sonnerie on display as well?
And the Tutima is handsome indeed.

nope no sonnerie. actually disappointing display by Seiko. my excitement was wasted.

to me, baselworld is a showcase. seiko can come out with press releases and homages to please their fans but their booth was too quiet and too sterile to reflect their anniversary. i can understand if this is a booth in wako back in tokyo... but this is baselworld in switzerland and europe. seiko needs to do more than just dump their watches into glass displays and show pieces of cases and springs and a block of quartz. everyone else was doing just that AND more.
if u just step into the citizen booth and see the smiling faces and compare it with the dreary quiet feel of seiko's booth (where it was mostly empty most of the time), then u can see what i mean. even seiko's facebook page feels more festive.

I see. It's their grandstand that is disappointing. I thought you were mentioning their pieces.
