Okay, today was my final day, and I did NOT spend it in Basel. Instead, I visited a company, and then spent the rest of the day in Lucerne.
So what was BaselWorld like this year? Well the usual, most appointments made, a few missed - that is the way of BaselWorld. It will never go 100% according to plan.
So who were the stand outs? Well as you have (by now) ascertained, I am a bit of a romantic. And while I love watches, I am often more intrigued by the people behind them.
So to the Girard-Perregaux/JEANRICHARD team - you guys SO ROCK! Thank you for two wonderful presentations! Paul - I owe you dinner.
Concord - once again so UNBELIEVABLY professional! Gives me something to aspire to!
Yasmina at Frederique Constant/Alpina - the patron saint of PR/Communications people - you are far too patient and kind - but I promise not to take advantage!
Manon at Eterna/Porsche design - perhaps the prototype for PR - check this out, she actually LIKES PEOPLE ; )
To Peter and Marie-Louise Roberts - get ready for Greatness!
To West End Watch Co. - I think you are ready to show the US some interesting things - if of course you're willing ; )
Anonimo - just remember, "haters gotta hate", but stick with your plan, I think this could be a real opportunity to breath life into the brand.
Theresa at Omega - words fail me, you are far too generous.
To Martin Braun - love the movement - and I promise to drop 20 pounds before we see each other again ; )
To Beat and Cail at ochs und junior - thank you as always! I look forward to seeing the evolution from "Tintin blue" to rouge (stay tuned).
Dan and Tally at Raymond Weil - thank you for reminding me why I like to work with PEOPLE!
Gustavo at Tutima - thank you sincerely for making the time, I truly appreciate it and am glad to see your success!
Fonderie 47, thank you for taking part in our first annual award - and let's see who the winner will be in 2014.
Frank Geelen, thank you for writing as well as you do.
Patrik Sjögren - AMAZING WATCHES! I have had a "heart to heart" with my piggy bank!
Charris Yadigaroglou - another fantastic communicator and brand ambassador - MB&F is lucky to have you.

There will, of course, be plenty more BaselWorld posts, but my bag is packed, flight checked in for, and one more meeting tomorrow morning! That's BaselWorld - foot to the floor!
Morpheus beckons - good night!
