Meeting up with many dear friends, I have to say I was most excited to see John & Stephen's "Tuscar" and Bart & Tim's "One Hertz", they did not disappoint, however Marco's new piece, the "Friedrich II", his first ever steel watch, and a couple of others where a welcome respite from the standard big brand products.
