    Excellent report. Really enjoyed looking through the photos.

    Way beyond my means, but the two manufacturers which grabbed me were ones I had previously not heard of - Moritz Grossmann and Laurent Ferrier. Some really beautiful designs there. Love the MGs with the pierced/semi-skeleton/mesh dials. The case designs, simple faces and hand shapes of the LF models I find particularly appealing.

    Oh and the jumbo, jumbo schnitzel has made me hungry now!

    Thanks so much for posting this. The dials on those Mosers are truly mesmerising and the new Seamaster looks much, much nicer than I thought it would.

    fantastic shots Jocke, the railmasters (both new and 'old') are shot better than any of the media photos IMO

    Excellent stuff and great to see some of the watches in the flesh rather than glossy promo shots - thanks for posting. The food and beer looked good.

    Thanks Jocke

    Yours is by far the best photo review of the show.
    And is as eagerly anticipated by myself as the show itself :)

    I look forward to your report every year Jocke.

    The star of the show for me was the lemon sorbet floating in vodka!!

    Jocke, your annual review of Basel is the highlight of the show and I look forward to it every year

    Moser and those square Glashuttes were stunning and despite some negative reviews, you have now convinced me that I do actually need the 'new' Railmaster

    My wallet thanks you😁

    Stunning, Jocke, thank you for taking the time and trouble.

    It really brings it to life for people like me who cannot go in person.

    Thank you for such a full-packed and informative post! Really excellent photos :) It's especially nice to see some models I had missed from articles, like the Aqua Terra world timer.

    A great reportage on the event. Probably my favourite round-up of the Basel event with some watches that I have not seen elsewhere. Thanks for sharing the images. You did a great job showing the Tudors, in particular, lighting etc.. considering.

    Great work as always, thank you so much

    One of those Laurent Ferriers has just become my lottery watch.

    Thank you very much, indeed, Jocke.

    The best watch was the GO on your wrist.
