Baselworld

Baselworld is a dazzling display, and it is startling to consider just how many watches are made, marketed, and sold in the world every day.

Isa Restaurant

San Francisco’s Marina District is a neighbourhood teeming with good restaurants. There are a few great restaurants around here, too, and one of those is Isa.

Modena, Italy

Modena, the province, part of Emilia-Romagna, is the birthplace of balsamic vinegar, cotechino, bollito misto, tortellini, and countless and intricate variations on Italian themes that find their most acute expressions in this province, in this commune, and in this town.

Audi on Track

Early evening, June 5, the sun shone on the opening of Audi’s grand flagship showroom, called Audi Downtown Vancouver. It is a vast space, two floors, showcasing automobiles, some of which are appearing in this market for the first time.

Evening Watches

A selection of timepieces from Baselworld that would make the ideal accompaniment to nearly any fairy-tale ending you can think of.

The Chan Centre for the Performing Arts

Everything is dedicated to making sound travel as purely and efficiently as possible. Even the silence is golden.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class

The stretch of road known as the I-5 is, at certain times of the day, a basic rush-hour situation, except at speeds that top 100 kilometres an hour most of the time. It can be a little stressful, unless you happen to be driving a new Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Rolex at Baselworld

Rolex. It is an iconic name by any standard, and has become something of a folk legend in the process, representing style, achievement, and success.

Harry Winston at Baselworld

While scale and sheer volume are part of Baselworld’s importance and even its allure, the fair offers the opportunity to see in close detail both some historic pieces and the very latest, often extremely limited production, watches.

Greubel Forsey and Speake-Marin at Baselworld

Watchmaker Peter Speake-Marin went to watchmaking school with Stephen Forsey of Greubel Forsey. The fact that both gentlemen are in Basel, showing some of their work, illustrates how dynamic this exhibition is.
