March 5, 2007 -- I think Spring is here in Switzerland, earlier than just about anywhere else, I think. Yesterday, it was 60 degees and sunny, which felt fantastic. Today it's raining and colder, but the light of Spring can be seen at the end of this tunnel. Though we haven't had a lot of snow or cold weather, I am ready for Spring. I was out on my motorcycle on Sunday morning, picking up croissants and bread for breakfast, and I can't wait to be out on my motorcycle all day every day. I rode throughout the winter, but there weren't a lot of pleasure rides during the cold months. It was more of a matter of survival, though any day on a motorcycle is a pleasure.

I am back in the office after having traveled the world a bit. I was in Mexico, testing watches in the jungle, locating Mayan ruins and having a great time. Then, I was off to Munich, Germany for the Inhorgenta Fair. I am heading for Florence this weekend, for a Panerai event, then it's Spain the next weekend to meet my son Evan, who is going to be there for his Spring Break, then the US for a Zenith event in Miami.

After I get back from Miami, March will be over and we'll be getting ready for Basel and SIHH. It's been a whirlwind and it's not going to slow down at all, because after Basel and SIHH comes JCK in Vegas (and the InSync motorcycle ride), then the summer will bring more trips to watch factories. It's busy, but so much fun.

Speaking of my son Evan, he just alerted me to a watch reference in a new popular song by Beyonce:
