One day before the traditional
Swatch
Club Xmas event in Venice, Nicolò and his team from the
Swatch
Store in Treviso and his family and a few Swatch collecting
friends had organized the first
Treviso Swap Market
(#TSM15) at
Casa
dei Carraresi in Treviso, a very nice location. The event
was a huge success as I guess that around 80 to 100 visitors /
collectors from Italy but also from other European countries and even
USA and Asia were present during the day.
Quite a few Swatch watches were swapped, traded, bought and
sold. But it was also great just to see quite a few pieces that
you don't see every day.
The whole event was perfectly organized with great hospitality up to
the very last little detail and everyone enjoyed the event.
Thank you Nicolò and everyone else who was involved!
Below, you can find a few impressions from the day (I probably missed
the most busiest time as we arrived in the afternoon only, thanks to
Lufthansa :-/






Sascha arrived even later!
In the evening, about 50-60
participants went out together for a very nice dinner (THANK YOU
Nicolò and family!). The food and wine was fantastic,
everyone had a great time!
Treviso is a small but very beautiful
city and definitively worth a visit!









Fortunately, an event souvenir (actually two different ones, silver
and gold) had also been prepared in a limited edition of 25 pcs
each. The watches are also numbered xx/25 on the back and they
come in a nice paper sleeve.
On the morning after the Treviso Swap Market, a large international
group of collectors took the train from Treviso to the
Swatch
Club Xmas event in Venice.
Thanks to Toty Booms for a few pictures.
