Timing MotoGP with Tissot
Brands sponsoring events, athletes and celebrities is nothing new in the world of watches. It's a way for a brand to associate themselves with things/people of greatness and, frankly, market their goods. There are different ways brands go about this, sometimes plastering a celeb with their logos, sometimes putting their watches in extreme circumstances and other times more subtly. It's this last approach that I got to recently witness while attending MotoGP in Indianapolis with Tissot, who are the Official Time Keeper of the event. Yes, their name is on the track, though modestly compared to other sponsors, and yes they do sponsor racers, such as the US' Nicky Hayden, though you won’t see them wrapped in logos either�� And no it doesn't mean that the wall clock is simply a Tissot. Rather, in a quiet booth, behind closed doors, is a team of technicians who closely monitor and time to within hundreds of a second the races and racers.Before getting into that, it's worth taking a look

Patek Exhibition
Had a private breakfast at the Patek exhibition this am. Thierry Stern as well as the president of Patek USA spoke to our group. Got a picture with Thierry and spent a few moments talking about the relative size of the watches. He agreed that the 42mm size is a great size and they won't o larger.I'll post as many pics as I can over the next day or so. It was nice to be able to go in and enjoy the tour prior to them opening the exhibition to the public. Highly recommend it if you have the opportunity.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
