Continued in Part 2.........................

Part 2....................

Check out the Pac-Man lights in the background, very cool display, LOL!









Even the construction cranes were decorated with Christmas lights!







After a visit to another brand Boutique I was walking around again:



...................and finally made my way to the IWC Boutique, where I saw a nice trio of perpetuals!

The last in the Saint Exupry series, a RG perpetual











The Boutique-only SS BP perpetual 'one out of 250'.................























And finally the Platinum Portuguese perpetual, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!











Twenty-one (21) days of power reserve...........













An early start at the train station to the airport:



I was supposed to be home on Tuesday December 21, but with the snow disruptions in Europe I was re-routed and it took me two (2) days to get home.

I spent the first day, about 15 hours, at GVA airport, until I finally got a flight to Lisbon, where I had to over-night :-(((

On the bus at almost midnight heading to the hotel in Lisbon:



On the way to the hotel in Lisbon:





The following day I flew to Newark and then a connection to Montreal.

I was told that if I had not accepted this two-day re-routing, the next available booking was January 10, 2011!!!!!!!

Finally home, phew!!!!!

Merry Christmas!

Cheers,

Nad

Nad,
Great photos as always, but with all that free time I'm surprised you didn't purchase a little something for your wrist?
Happy New Year
Regards,
Kevin

I did have time to pick up something special that was made for the GVA Boutique:



One of these was just too tempting to pass up ;-))))

Cheers,

Nad

Thanks, Nad! Awesome Post.

The Saint Exupéry BPPC, and the Platinum BPPC would rate as: "Dream Watch Grail" to me.
The orange one is nice too. Can't wait to see the one you chose???

Best,
~Joe

Wow, that St Ex Perpetual is stunning! Thanks very much for the wonderful report and lovely pictures and I am glad you made it back home before Christmas.

Kind regards,

Clemens
