It’s hard to believe that another Baselworld has come and gone. Jamie and I recently returned from Switzerland where we had the chance to meet with many of our brand partners and check out this year’s newest products.

What was your favorite brand exhibit/event this year and why? This is a tough question to answer and I don’t think I would do Baselworld […]
