Review: Christopher Ward C8 Pilot MK II �C Vintage Edition
The Christopher Ward C8 Pilot MK II �C Vintage Edition is an example of everything that's right in the world of moderately priced watches.?

Baselworld vs. SIHH vs. Watches & Wonders vs.
Does anyone on this forum from the US attend watch collector/enthusiast events?It seems the large conventions in Switzerland are not convenient for many of us humble smaller time collectors.The classic car world has Concours which happen all over the country and are generally very good including the d'Elegance/Pebble Beach.Are there similar events for watches/horology that arent just for dealers/retailers?
