Feb 1, 2011 and I'm back on the road (again!!!!) :-)

At YUL......................








Waiting in the Lounge:





I was starting to get worried about the weather:





A close-up of the snow on our plane.............I guess we're going to stop by the "de-icing" station!













Finally pushing back from the gate!





Landed in Frankfurt and have to change terminals:






Anyone here familiar with the Blue Tunnel???!! LOL





Flight delayed so time for an early morning snack:





Saw this in a local newspaper, only in China!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




My first stop on arriving in Geneva (after my hotel check-in) was the Panerai Boutique.

Once there, a local Panerai collector, Guillaume, recognized me and we took a few photos:




He was picking up his 419 GVA Boutique Edition. here it is next my 360:






Me and Guillaume :-)




It's always great to try on the PAM 307 Luminor 1950 Pangaea Submersible Depth Gauge, love this watch!!!!














You may remember a group photo from my December visit with the Panerai team, but Bénédicte was not at the store at that time.

Happily, she was there during this visit and I had the chance for a photo:




Guillaume took the photo but I asked for another just a little closer, LOL!!








Les Ambassadors is still in a temporary location, but I visited anyway and was warmly greeting by Kevin!

He proceeded to show me some watches ;-)

Vulcain GMT:








Bovet:









Jump Hour!!















Blancpain with Blue dial and sapphire bezel:








A very special UN Diavolo Freak!!!!!!!!!!!!
















An ultra-rare UN Moonstruck!!!!!!!






















I love IWC but closer attention as to be paid to QC ;-)








I was invited to a local hockey game between the host team, Genève-Servette Hockey Club, and the visiting team, HC Fribourg-Gotteron!

Nothing like the NHL, but a fun evening!










The team mascot............a beautiful eagle!








Thanks for looking and stay tuned for more watches!!

Have a great day!
