First of all my thanks to David Katz for sending me the pictures he took at last week’s ice Sculpture fair in Yorkville, downtown Toronto, Canada (more details here).

Such fairs exist in many countries (at least countries with temperatures allowing such events) and it turns usually into an Art contest. It is therefore pretty unusual (at least for me) to see a store promoting its products by presenting a dedicated ice sculpture into such a contest.

Local top-tier watch dealer Louis Black was presenting two sculptures at the fair of watches he sells in his store: Richard Mille and F.P. Journe.

My take:

It’s certainly not the easiest and cheapest way to promote one’s products, but it’s surely an eye-catching one. Well done Louis Black!
