The ever-increasing group of collectors who are eager to meet with the famous Bill B. - whos name is forever linked to the event - met June 3 again, unaware yet of the horrible event in London. It is a crazy world.
I can’t share lots of photos as I forgot to bring a spare battery and my main battery was at 20-25% when I left home. I am sure others will give you a nicer view on the event. Traditionally, the event starts with a GtG in the Vondelpark, followed by a visit to a boutique to get greedy and release some dopamine in the brain, a boat ride through the canals and a wonderful dinner at the Okura hotel.
There was big news during the day! It wasn’t Mark’s participation in a ladies bachelor party (photos will be censored for sure) but the official announcement of the fourth Collector’s Forum Special Edition Watch: the Aquatimer Automatic “CF4” (ref. IW3410-01) in a limited edition of 250 pieces. The watch houses a brand new high-end! in-house automatic movement calibre 82110 with a 60-hour power reserve. The event was two weeks too early, otherwise we would have seen the real thing but it is a very good looking watch indeed! But let me tell you: it is a watch that is worth carrying the description "collector's forum watch".
The moderator will share a lot more info and photos with you tomorrow.
