The highlight of the exhibition: All 6 Puff swatches together...
In the afternoon, about 165 participating
club members met at the Hotel Großer
Kurfürst where we stayed during the event.
we all received this nice shirt later
several discussions already going on...
At six o'clock, the head of Swatch The Club,
Patrick Jaron, gave a nice welcome speech with information about the
rest of the day:
We took a nice walk from the hotel, passing
the huge TV tower at Alexanderplatz...
Ads for the Beach Volleyball World Championships are everywhere!
After a walk of about 20 minutes, we arrived
in the Münzstrasse in Berlin-Mitte. Swatch The Club had a nice
surprise for us: An empty shop :-)
In Münzstrasse 18, Swatch will present a new
swatch store concept (probably called Instant
Swatch Store? or Rumble In
The Jungle?) on 9-JUL. So the shop was already renovated
but the was nothing interesting inside. Even though, cameras were
not allowed that night for the party. Just for the evening of our
party, Swatch had brought some nice furniture from the film
studios in Babelsberg. One of the sofas was used in the
movie Good
Bye Lenin!
Here are two pictures from the party at the
(not yet) store:
OK, back to the report of the Berlin
event: I just said: Nothing interesting inside in the (not
yet) store. But on this evening, it was different. The
supernice Gold & Pioneer special was distributed for us
A golden
Nabab special swatch (YNZ100, stainless steel) was given to the
165 participating club members. It is the first golden Nabab
swatch, and it is limited to only 170 pcs. It comes in a very nice
acrylic display:
The details of this watch are really very
unique and special: It has the words GOLD & PIONEER 10th
ANNIVERSARY engraved on the bezel around the face, the words THANK YOU
engraved on the side(!) of the case, and the date and location (Berlin,
Germany) embossed on the leather strap with the golden clasp:
A perfect watch with many interesting details for a perfect event!
Collectors also received a certificate about the watch signed by Nick
Hayek sr.
The DJ at the party was really superb (lots
of gems from the 80s! :-) After some food and some more drinks, a
lot of club members were dancing and enjoying themselves. I
managed to sneak in my mobile phone camera, so here are some impressions
from the party:
we even had a polonaise later in the night :-)
On our way back home...
