Photo Gallery: Touring the Luxury Booths of SIHH 2014
The Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH), which took place last week in Geneva, is probably the world’s most exclusive international watch fair, with an invitation-only guest list. As we did last year, WatchTime wanted to give our readers and diehard watch fans a peek inside those hallowed halls of horology, courtesy of these exclusive photos by our own Mike Disher.

New Seamaster!!! WOOHOO!
Well folks. My wonderful wife gave me my dream watch for my Birthday. An Omega Seamaster 2221.80. Have wanted one of these since 1995. (I realize that was a different model [2541.80]but this is my Bond watch I have coveted for so long) Very excited to finally join the Omega Ranks. Beautiful!Taken with Phone camera. Will have to set up a photo shoot tomorrow.

Broke the seal 5164
Stopped by the local AD today and he made me break the seal on a new 5164. I wish I could say I took it home...maybe next time.

Joined the Club - PAM233
Always love the PAM but finally pulled the trigger last week. PAM233, K Series, GREEN DOT!

They were super responsive and helpful, shipped the watch out overnight the same day I wired funds. If you're in the market for any higher end watch, definitely go check them out!

Visit to Japan - Nakano Broadway

I found out much later, that Jack Road is actually within a sort of mall or shopping complex.

Once you take the escalator that goes directly from ground floor (1F) to third floor (3F), turn right and you'll see Jack Road. Kame-Kichi is somewhere along the left of the esc
