Another 24 hours to go and we shall be sitting on the plane to my beloved Dubai. However, it shall be a stop-over only this time. Just enough time to take a shower when we get there and hop on to another Emirates flight to Bangalore in India where the trade fair will take place from January 31 to February 3, 2008.
100,000 people visit the show that is held every other year! Never ever did we show our watches at such a large venue. We prepared a special collection for India and I am anxious to learn if the watches have arrived on time. We had to send them to India already a week ago.
How will the Indians like our watches? My customers and friends in the Middle East tell me that we will do more than just fine. Mihir Kharod and his son Hemal who own and run Tradepost, Asia's leading monthly exclusively devoted to the watch & clock trade and industry out of their Mumbai offices praised our collection highly back in September when we first met. Matter of fact, it is thanks to Mr. Mihir Kharod's encouragement and zest for his native India that I decided to exhibit at the fair in India.
Bangalore, we are on our way.......

Bangalore is really great. I was there about 9 months ago. This is definitely a nice place to show your watches. The high technology and outsourcing services have created a healthy middle class in the area.
If you get the opportunity, you will want to walk down MG Road for window shopping and Commercial St for actual shopping. Be sure to negotiate the prices!
I'm really looking forward to "traveling with you". I thank Nicola for convincing you to blog and keep us up to date.
Enjoy your trip and be safe in your travels.
