Today was press day at Baselworld 2008 and most importantly, the opening of all watch halls. Here are a few of my favorite watches so far, as well as a few shots of the show. Five more pics after the jump. Many more pics to come.......... Oh by the way the fish tank image is part of the Breitling booth and the pic does not do it justice-- the tank is suspended two stories in the air and looks unreal for a display that is only temporary.

The Patravi TravelTec FourX is the newest version of the Patravi collection by Carl F. Bucherer. The coolest function of this watch is the ability to show three time zones simultaneously. The third time zone can be set using a single push-button mechanism for which a patent is pending. The watch uses an exotic blend of palladium, titanium, ceramics and rubber. The case is nicely sized at 46.6 mm in diameter and 15.5 mm thick. The movement is an automatic Caliber 1901.1 with 39 jewels and a 42 hour power reserve. What really makes this watch so special and distinguishes it from other TravelTec models, is the skeleton dial. It even has a small window inlaid in the side of the watch that allows you to view the TravelTec mechanism. Overall I am very impressed with the look and function of this model, and I cannot wait to see it in person.
