Hi all,

I am proud to announce that watch2008 was a tremendous success! Not my words only, but the words of all exhibitors and visitors (550 in two days!).

It was beyond my expectations and I am very thankful to all who made this such a success after a year of preparations and organizing the event.

I met a lot of watch friends and made new friends. As the organizer I did not had much time to see all the watches myself, but believe me, it was well worth the time and effort for all visitors.

SCOOP: My business partner and me have decided to organize Watch2009!

Now on to some quick and dirty pictures:
