When this was an invitation only watch occasion, it would perform as such: Maximillian Busser and Friends would organize a personal gathering at Lake Geneva with the best watch influencers to discuss the condition of the watch business, possess a “watch series” full of one-off collectibles, and, importantly, drink copious amounts of “hot” beer with a side of gloating to help wash down it. Richard Mille, De Bethune, Ressence, and HYT would represent a number of those innovative watch companies to pop up with showcases. The bonus round are the Deep Dive Sprint (most water and strain resistance). Completing the festivities are a “watch series” along with a tribute movie of the late George Daniels. Of course, Baume et Mercier would be the title sponsor of this shindig with everyone riding in on Indian Motorcycles.
