SalonQP 2011: Our full report
By The Prodigal Fool, published on 26 November 2011
This year was the year that SalonQP really arrived. More intimate than Baselworld, more laid-back than SIHH, SalonQP has something essentially British about it. It’s charming, accessible and unpretentious in a way that the other watch events simply aren’t. It has put London on the map of unmissable watch events. And, naturally, you can rely on The Prodigal Guide to bring you – if not accurate, exhaustive or sober – entertaining coverage of the event.
Here then, for your horological pleasure, is all of our SalonQP 2011 coverage in one place. Enjoy:
- SalonQP prepares to wind up the Saatchi Gallery
- Meccaniche Veloci and Chronoswiss
- TAG Heuer Mikrotimer is so fast it don’t last
- Ronnie Wood shows us his massive clock
- In photos
- NOMOS Glashütte continues to tickle our fancy
- A man in a raincoat exhibits his pick
- The Piaget Emperador dual time and another man’s wife
- Bell & Ross WW1 Heritage and Military
- Chronoswiss Grand Pacific and Pacific Chrono
- Six’s choice, the Schofield Signalman GMT PR
- The Fool’s choice, the Ressence Type 1001
Oh, and as a little bonus, we thought you might enjoy this video of the unusual clock installed in the café of the Saatchi Gallery. We think it’s a marvelous piece of art with something really rather profound to say about the watch industry. We just don’t have the slightest sodding clue what that might be.
