The organization of this event aimed at the small independent Replica Bell&Ross makers, and I am happy to note that some of them arent even Swiss or German. The list includes Dutch, Belgian and French watchmakers as well. These brands will not immediately ring a bell by the average watch-Joe, but are nevertheless interesting to give some attention if you are a watch enthusiast (of whatever kind).As you can see, castle De Hoogenweerth is top of the bill for these kind of events. One of the sponsors (Biermans, dealer of Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Lancia cars) made sure you couldnt miss their presence when entering the WATCH 2009 event.Just before opening, a quick shot was made of one of the exhibition spaces in the castle. This part was filled with Replica Bell&Ross from Benzinger, Blancier, Archimede, D.Dornbl?ɬºth & Sohn, Glycine, Favre Leuba and Linde Werdelin.
