Went to Wixon Jewelers in Bloomington, MN for their annual watch fair. Boy, what a drool-worthy affair! For me the highlight was the Jaeger Le Coultre Master Minute Repeater. We got to talk to the JLC rep for a little while as well. The price tag? $175K. In the almost affordable range, the watch that really caught my eye was the Ferrari watch made in conjunction with Panerai. I really like the Panerai look, but the Ferrari, in my opinion, takes it into an entirely different level. The base model was just over $6K. Other watches represented: Rolex, IWC (the perpetual calender in rose gold for $45K was stunning), Panerai, Patek, and A. Lange. I better start saving my money!

Sounds awesome ... the closest I've gotten to watches of that stature is browsing in high end stores in Manhattan ...

Sounds like fun though I think they would have stopped me at the door... Great chance to see the high end stuff.

Oddly enough, they do stop you at the door. There are 2 sets of security doors that you have to get buzzed in through!
