Baselworld 2011 Report - Pleasant coincidence of meeting Mr. Helmut Sinn

[hotnerd]

I had a great coincidence of meeting Mr. Sinn at Basel show. I was just strolling past Chopard booth and noticed Mr. Sinn walking in the opposite direction. Mr. Sinn is now 95 years young and walking much better than I was managing.



That's a WatchUSeek card Mr. Sinn he holding in his hand

The last time I visited Guinand was in 2006 and he remembered me from that visit (you can search for the Guinand report).

After a brief chat, he mentioned that he has a stock of vintage watches and if anyone is interested, should contact him helmut-sinn@t-online.de

I will contact him next week and find out more about the vintage watches

Cheers, Bhanu

Mike,

I missed you there!!! I completely understand that work sometimes takes priority over hobby

But, I hope to make it up by posting a lot of pictures and short reviews in next few days.

Cheer,
Bhanu
