BaselWorld and SIHH Are History
April 24, 2007 -- Well, the BaselWorld and SIHH are history. The shows are tough enough -- this year, Glen Bowen and I had a total of 124 appointments over the ten days -- but when the shows are over is when the real work starts. It's great to see everyone and see all the great new watches. Now, I have to go through all the press kits we received, cataloguing everything and preparing the stories on which we here at InSync are going to focus. It's a lot of slogging through paper and shuffling of CDs, but it's necessary to get the word out to you, our readers.
My first story for InSync is an overview of everything we saw at Basel. It's my job to take everything I saw and put it into some semblance of order. Good luck, huh? Well, that's why my name is on the masthead.
BaselWorld and SIHH were a lot of fun this year. I got to see a lot of old friends and we heard great things about the magazine. It's bigger than it's ever been and people are really responding to our mix of editorial. We couldn't survive without the fans of the magazine, so thank you!
Now, I have about a month of hard work in front of me before I head to the US for the JCK show in Las Vegas. Good news is that my sons are going with me, so we are going to have a great time!
