What did you think about the Hybris Artistica collection? The Enamel Master Class was a good idea! Best, and thanks a lot for the report, my friend. Nicolas

Indeed JLC showcased their heavy artillery in the center of their booth!

The Hybris Artistica collection! Very impressive collection of course with high end complications combined with a very high level of craftsmanship. I cannot afford any one of the 12 unfortunately! :p They are grail pieces. cheers robin

Thanks for taking us along, Robin

Your design for the enamel master class was pretty cool! :-) Some superb pieces being showcased as well. Were the Geophysics being displayed as well? Thanks again, Robin. Best, Alex

Happy to share Alex!

 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : October 2nd, 2014-20:26
In Singapore when both of you are together.... the entire country imposed a curfew! :P Cheers robin

Warn me in advance!

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : October 2nd, 2014-20:44
I may be able to make some money to build my watch funds, buying some Put Options... stocks may slide when you next visit :P Cheers robin

Ah... Alexis...

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : October 2nd, 2014-20:25
As Vlad said, his poison skills are very high so pls be careful of him! I only said hi and shook his hands and quickly went into the safety of the master class room :P If I spent 1 more min with Alexis, I might end up bankrupt if I buy another watch LOL! ... 

nice report!

 
 By: ocwatching : October 2nd, 2014-14:24
