BASELWORLD, my favourite watch show, opened today. It runs until 10 April, and I am eagerly looking forward to discovering some exciting and imaginative watches. My complaint of late has been that there doesn’t seem to be enough inspiration as far as new watches are concerned. I see a new watch these days and wonder "haven’t I already seen that some place else?". Oh for something wonderfully new, breath-taking, and daring! I desperately hope BASELWORLD 2008 does not disappoint.
