Laurent: Which Did You Take to the Party?
In Response To: Amazing meeting ! ()

Laurent:

I am curious: Which watches did you take to the GTG? And which one was OnTheWrist for the event (at least when you walked in the door)?

I always find it difficult to select the ones to take to such gatherings, and will be interested to see which ones you chose. As Heuer collectors, we are most interested in the rare ones / unusual executions. When introducing people who collect other brands to the Heuers, the calculation of "what will be interesting?" may be different.
