I'm doing a short series of postings on Baselworld 2013. Just got back last night and it was an Omega sponsored trip for me. Super hectic and tiring. Well here's part 1 - hope to get more postings up soon.

What did you do to have the sponsorship? who do I have to kill?

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.

Arrgg...Can't wait for your part two...The tension is killin' me...

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.

Nice, keep it coming.

btw, I wonder why they keep the whole place so dark in there?

lanatir · « **Reply #13 on:** May 03, 2013, 09:47:37 AM »

Thanks again! I'm guessing the dim lights are to allow the displays to shine?

Anyway, next part is up...

Seiko making a automatic using the 8l35

for Galante version for Barcelona FC

Are Seiko going to make it as a JDM only

or international

?

The Seiko Credor Minute Repeater is making me drooling big time...

Do they happen to have Sonnerie on display as well?

And the Tutima is handsome indeed.
