There may have been more, but not that I can recall.
Yes, TAG-Heuer made all the arrangements for the trip and picked up the expenses, just like for all the other journalists. Funny, they never asked about my hourly billing rate!!

It is a bit of a jumble, in terms of the watches that I saw on display and the watches that I can remember. Most of the displays are thematic, so similar Autavias (for example) might be on shown in different display cases -- one for the oceans and one for the airplanes, with another for the racetracks. I recall only three Monacos: the one McQueen wore during filming of Le Mans (shown with certificate of authenticity from property manager of the film); a three register, manual-wind gray one; and a V4.
