Just a brief look at something different, seeing Xmas is just around the corner are the two watches I’ve selected for this Post –
First is the wonderfully colored 666 Under Pressure 11 – in Blue from Barcelona.
The 666 Under Pressure 11 – Blue
Striking looking model from 666 of Barcelona reflects the industrial pressure gauge look and with this incredible blue dial with a large Seconds analog hand, it really is a “mobile” watch indeed.
Size wise diameter is 48mm and lug to lug the same. The watch case is 14mm thick and the strap 24mm. The digital display shows the time and there’s no doubt this will certainly catch the eye of your friends.
At around $100 not bad for style I’d say . . .
Next up is the equally eye catching Vestal GDEDP01 ABC model,
Also 48mm diameter (ex crown), made of 316L stainless steel with a K1 Scratch Resistance crystal. With the usual ABC features such as Altimeter, Barometric Pressure and a digital Compass, plus World Time and Alarms and so on it’s quite well specified. 10ATM Water Resistance so no worries getting it wet on your travels.
Vestal GDEDP01 ABC model
The large bi-directional bezel with the large pointer with the compass feature assists in the calculation and indication of your bearings. A Polyurethane 22mm strap and a patent pending, modified OKTOLOCK system with stainless steel buckle. Note this has a 100hr Countdown Timer plus a Weather Forecast feature and in fact very Suunto like in regards the functions.
It also has great presence on the wrist and price wise is around $270 or so . . . . and here are another option on this model –
A more outdoor optionSolid performer and nylon strap
As I say, just a thought for Christmas to add a bit of style to the guy in your life.
Yes it’s that time again (if you can read it that is) where I have a look at the perennial geek designer from the amazing people at – TokyoFlash. The model is the BASIK Watch by José Manuel Otero and here it is.
So let’s “at a glance” check the time . . . .
Basik – new time concept – if you can read it!
Noooo, I’m not quite seeing what the actual time is here, but I’m sure I can work it out given time! Which for me is not quite the name of the game. I confess I like to wear on my wrist something beginning with W! Yes you guessed it – a Watch! and one that when I give it a quick glance immediately tells me the time and maybe even the day and the date! Now is that too much to ask?
Well it seems to me that at TokyoFlash they are always attempting to challenge the old round dial concept clock face idea for showing the time, which like the original QWERTY keyboard worked for all sorts of very good reasons (and even that’s been challenged these days) and every time I see one of their new creations I start to get one of my awful migraines again!
Now I don’t really mind them doing this as it’s great potty training and probably really mentally challenging for the young designer, but sometimes a reality check might be in order here. Because I and most of us I suspect want a gadget that simply, easily and clearly shows the time – no more – no less. It’s a bit like re-inventing the wheel I suppose.
Why is it round? – I can even hear the new recruit to the Design Guild of Pointless Ideas, question. Would it not be better to make it square? And Oh of course we can round off the pointed bits to make it smoother yes and maybe – no maybe . . . an oval? But we’d maybe have to alter the suspension to compensate I suppose if it’s used as a vehicle . . .? And then there’s . . . .
Enough! enough!
Now – where was I – Oh yes – the Basik Watch . . . . Well it’s not really difficult when you study it for a while – something you can do with your time I suppose 😉 and this is the same image with the time disclosed at image top left.
The Basik new concept time watch. Have you got it?
Well the dial has 2 index rings – the Inner which is for the Hours and the Outer for the Minutes. These are in light grey unless activated as markers. You can see on the inner index a dark marker – at 3 (hours). Another dark marker is showing on the outer index indicating 7 (minutes) and the very outer continuous moving line thing which goes round the entire dial perimeter is showing at 27 – this is the seconds. Hence the time is 03.07 and 27 secs. And how do we know it’s 03 am and not 3 pm? well apparently it’s indicated by the changing colour of the dial – if it’s light colored then it’s PM and if it’s dark is AM – or perhaps the other way around – sorry but this migraine!
Also you can move the outer bezel which in turn moves the entire dial around, so that if the watch is off your wrist and sitting on it’s side, you can move the 12 o’clock position to the top and the watch reads as if it was sitting upright – get it?
Utterly fascinating and brilliant I am absolutely sure – but is it for me?
Well sadly I am equally and absolutely sure it’s NOT . . . !
Anyway if you want to check it out HERE is where it’s at . . Now – I’ve taken so long with this Post that I’d better check the time myself!
Well I can see Mickeys long gloved hand is pointing at 5 and his shorter open glove hand is pointing at 6 . . . . Goodness it’s 5.30 – it’s time for my dinner! 😉 😉
Addendum –
Seriously this is quite an unusual watch and one of the best of the alternative time readers out there in my opinion. The idea of using inner and outer indexes is not particularly new, though the dark indication markers are quite novel. Personally I would prefer the dark markers to be very much darker so that I could more easily see the time in less than ideal light. I like the large Date window which is easy to read and the Seconds animation perimeter is both novel and a very good indicator, firstly showing the watch is running and secondly a rather good seconds countdown timer too.
As I said in the Post, which I admit to being a little tongue in cheek, it still is not really the watch for me. But I can see certainly see the attraction for many (possibly younger than I) who like something that little bit different. In fact I’m sure it wouldn’t take long to get used to to it and that “quick glance” might well be all you need.
Anyway, hats off to José Manuel Otero for a pretty smart and different take on the more usual watch idea and congratulations – for it seems to work!
The creations of J P Journe are some of the finest you will ever see and this from a man that some think should be called a Supplier rather than a brand in his own right.
J P Journe – masterpiece of design
This because he assembles his watches from parts he has some 40 suppliers manufacture and finish to his exacting specifications. In house these are assembled, adjusted and tested. The watch dials are the start of any new model – he designs it first and then has the inner workings made to work the dial as it were, which is highly unusual.
I think personally the detractors are missing the point as J P Journe models are really something to be treasured and admired. And as such you don’t see them too often coming up as pre-owned and for sale or auction . . .
Maverick? –
For JP to infer that the global watch timing authority COSC is out of touch and hardly a challenge because he says the standards are too low being originally designed for pocket watches and somewhat meaningless for today’s wrist watches – are the words of a man very confident in himself and his product. He describes them as Chronometers without being COSC certificated and regardless of his critics. This must have upset the heavyweight movers and shakers of the industry somewhat – and who knows, maybe it needed or indeed needs such a challenge every once in a while to retain it’s relevancy.
I have been fortunate enough to have seen a few of his models close up and in my hand so to speak – and for me they are utterly brilliant. So when one comes up for auction you can bet that I and a good few more folks beside, will be very interested indeed. I have added such a one to the Auction News page with a note of the estimate and will be very interested in the final hammer price. Detractors or not I see it doing rather well.
The model is the Octa Calendrier.
It’s a Cal.1300 Automatic with 22ct Gold Rotor in an 18ct Rose Gold 38mm diameter case – just like this one – and there’s not many of these around. I think in 2007 it cost around £16,000 perhaps?
Further to my last Post where I looked at some Military style models. I mentioned in passing the Nixon Unit 40 which I thought might be a consideration IF the digits and dial contrast was readable in all light situations. I liked the fact it was a 40mm diameter model as this would fit the smaller wrist comfortably, but I still have reservations on that display.
However I also spotted the relatively new Dixon Baha which is a varient of the Nixon SS and 40 series, specially outfitted for the outdoor enthusiast, so I though I’d better check it out.
Nixon Baha – Torch & Compass with nylon & velcro fast wrap strap
I have to say right away that I do like the look of it, though somewhat disappointed by the physical size of this model – at 50mm diameter it is one BIG watch! However there is a trade off in that one of the added functions over the SS or 40 series is the inclusion of a Digital Compass. It also has an LED flashlight at the lower left of the dial, which is a surprisingly useful gadget. The other main difference is the strap which is a heavy duty nylon & velcro fast wrap strap, a type I’ve always liked as it’s so easy to use and usually very comfortable.
24mm Heavy duty nylon & velcro fast wrap strap
I’m also informed that this model has an increased contrast digital dial array, and that does interest me as this was my major concern on the previous models, so it may be that my concern could be solved, though I would still have to see one on my wrist to tell.
The complete function set as follows – positive or negative digital (high contrast stated on the spec), Time of Day (12 hour or 24 hour), Seconds, Day/Date, Calendar range from 2005-2105, Dual time, Alarm, Chronograph, Timer and Thermometer with an external sensor (in Fahrenheit or Celsius), LED flashlight and Compass.
The case is polycarbonate which is as tough as anything and the stainless pushers are well shrouded to prevent damage. A domed hardened mineral crystal, 100m Water Resistance and a brushed stainless steel case back. The strap is 24mm wide on a 32mm wrist cuff held with stainless steel screw pins and it has a solid stainless steel roll bar buckle, so very outdoorsy, all of which I like.
The fast wrap
The Compass is the type that points to the arrow @12 on the molded fixed bezel and gives you the bearing angle in degrees (in 1° segments) on the main dial area and on the upper display area it gives the Cardinal direction NNW, ENE and so on. The compass also has a declination setting so you can set for your area and there is a Compass calibration sequence similar to most of these digital compass models. Note that it’s not the most accurate of compasses at +/- 10° but it’s useful and in practice is perhaps more accurate than the error allowance would indicate. I have other compass models that are quoted with error allowances of around +/- 5° and generally manage around 2° offset at most in actual use, so I would expect somewhere in the same range.
The LED flashlight is a great idea and very similar to those tiny little plastic push button jobs you might have on your keyring – it’s just bright enough and perfect for those times looking through your bag or trying to get your key in the lock at night – very useful and a neat addition (it’s not trying to be a military signal light or anything like that) and I like it.
So on the face of it this appears to be another digital model that might well meet the “military” style criteria as case and function wise it looks pretty good. And the strap looks good and overall the watch should be as tough as old boots. Also the addition of the Compass and flashlight is a real bonus.
But – I have reservations ?
1) IS the digital legibility, high contrast or whatever, good enough to be easily seen?
2) IS this model just too big at 50mm diameter, for my 170mm wrist?
3) IS the strap long enough (I have heard reports)? Though not a deal breaker as the strap can be easily changed.
If my reservation questions are answered satisfactorily and I can wear it without looking like a complete lemon – it has to be a consideration. So a visit to a Nixon Dealer is the only option and then we’ll see (or not if the digits are faint!). The price is around £125 in the UK.
Note – The difficulty of choosing a military style watch is compounded by the fact that there are many “divers” models out there that are tough, highly Water Resistant, great readability day and night and very tough indeed, as long as you avoid the highly colored strap or dial, they too are an option worth considering. Just makes the task that much more difficult. Ah well . . . .
Good question actually as the so called “military” watch is somewhere between a rainbow and the Holy Grail! Such a maligned term and used as a descriptive on so many watch models that often the models referred to can make me laugh out loud, or make me cry . . . ( don’t you love mixed metaphors!).
But seriously what is it that we want from a so called “military” watch? And that’s a problem from the outset – do you consider the actual current Military Specifications (US, UK, Sweden, France, Germany etc.) and bearing in mind they tend to differ. Or perhaps instead you take the all purpose loose term of “Military style” as your guide.
Timex Expedition T49976 with NATO. Military look and difficult to beat.
Personally I take the latter, as so many of the legitimate “Military Spec” models actually don’t do it for me at all. And that’s mainly because the only important criteria for me when considering a Mil Spec or “military” model is – will it do what I want it to do? – is it reliable, really legible day and night, does it have a conventional strap fitting (if it breaks can I replace it easily), if battery powered – how easy to change, how tough is it in my circumstances, does it have the functions I want or need and is it easy and intuitive to use.
And the trouble with the above wish list, which incidentally for me is as good as I need, is that we all want something different because it IS very personal and our circumstances are very different as indeed are our requirements. So a “military STYLE” model is obviously the way to go.
I already have a few and as you see not all would meet the true (but variable) Military Specs that are around. But I’ve discounted that anyway in favor of what suits me and perhaps what I consider good enough to be called in my book “Military styled” Or maybe we should forget the military description bit altogether and simply look out for a “suitable for me” watch . . . which fits my lifestyle and seems to make sense.
The very affordable Timex Expedition T49976 (which I have had for a while myself) with it’s neat black/green resin shock case is a pretty good example of a “military style” watch that on the face of it, is difficult to beat. The supplied strap is resin/rubber camo with a non reflective buckle with standard lug fixing – hence the NATO strap fitted here – took about 3 minutes to change it over. This model is digital only, has excellent day and night vision with one of the better incarnations of Timex’s Indiglo, has chrono, alarms, timers and so on and is very easy and intuitive to use. I particularly like the Shock case which on the upper bezel above the glass is a softer compound than the main case, almost rubbery, so top protection is very good indeed. The watch is also a sensible size even though shock protected at just 45mm diameter and if you include the slanted pushers barely 47mm. Lug to lug is commendably short at 48mm, so this watch will fit the smaller wrist without looking like macho man. 14mm depth is also OK and the overall look of the watch is quite unobtrusive with no shiny bits at all. 100m Water Resistance and a CR2016 battery (available almost anywhere) completes the specification and to tell the truth I could stop this Post right now. It’s about as good as it gets at a very affordable price of around £45 in the UK. It works, it’s tough, easy to use, neat, any strap will do and has the no fumble top mount Indiglo pusher for the back light – no searching around with fingertips looking for it or even remembering which pusher it is (unlike many a Casio).
So this is my top tip. For further info see my Post HERE.
So after mentioning Casio just a second ago, what can they offer? I first looked at a similar “camo” military style model – the Casio GD120CM-5 – a digital only model, which came out earlier this year (2014) which has a similar function set plus World Time. It is a T-Shock model.
Casio DG 120CM-5 Camo Digital only – but is BIG
This Casio also like the Timex has an excellent display with a good standard blue back light for night use and with positive digitals it’s good to see in the day also. A tough case, dull finish, shock resistant, water resistant to 200m and plenty functions from chronograph to Alarms + World Time. It is however considerably larger than the Timex at 51.2mm wide and lug to lug at 55mm and with an unfortunate hefty depth of 17.4mm, this is one big watch. As a digital only military style model priced at $130 or £85 it’s a nice enough watch but certainly not as good value as the Timex (£45) which in my personal opinion is simply better.
So overall although it looks the part, in comparison to the Timex it’s overpriced, the strap for me in a problem and the large overall size is not ideal for me. So no cigar!
My third pick was gong to be either the gents Nixon Unit SS or the ladies Nixon Unit 40 in black – the only difference being the gents is 44mm diameter and the ladies 40mm, the latter being perhaps the better fit for my small wrist.
The Nixon Unit 40 – Ladies model!
But whilst it looks the part (even the smaller ladies one) and it’s features – are up there with Casio and Timex –
“indestructible polycarbonate case, a positive or negative display segmented dial layout, hardened mineral crystal, good visibility day and night (back lit), 100m Water Resistant with screw case back and a standard silicon style strap with locking polycarbonate buckle. Function wise it features Time and Calendar plus Seconds, 12/24hr selectable, Chronograph, Dual Time, Timer, Hourly Chime and Alarm and nicely sized at 40mm diameter. And the Unit 40 option is under £90 – which is good value”. . . .
– and it looks great and so on – I have one reservation – and that is the legibility or clarity of those digits. I’ve not seen this model “in the flesh” as it were, but looking at the odd review on You Tube, I’d say the clarity of the digits might very well depend on the angle it’s seen from – and that is no use to me. So as often the case I would advise any prospective purchaser to check out “in your hand”.
I know the images here look great – BUT so often we’ve been fooled by those enhanced web images. So CHECK IT before you buy. And IF it’s OK, then there’s no doubt this could be a sweet watch – and if really like the image shown here – could easily be a winner.
And on the same subject – A friend of mine swears by Suunto brand models and whilst I’m not too familiar with them, I have seen them on occasion in the odd high Street store and had them in my hand and found their readability disappointing and for that reason I won’t include them here.
Anyway these are 3 possible “military style” models that might suit and first one, the Timex Expedition T49976 for me is the one to judge all others from. Basically from Price to functions and to practicality and indeed “look” it could be difficult to find anything else that can match up – Mil Spec or not.
In my next Post I hope to check out some more “military” look or inspired models that I think might, just might fit my criteria – so as ever – Watch this Space.
Seems to me when you talk about shocks they appear to come in waves. A bit like their planetary namesakes the Earthquakes/shocks, which apparently number somewhere a round 500,000 per year! Well obviously not in the same league here, but it would appear to me that Casio G-Shock models change and evolve just about weekly. New versions and new technology every time and somewhat expensive if you have to have the latest thing and I’ve known a few collectors in my time who did just that!
Anyway here’s one I’ve just spotted – the G-Shock Gulfmaster Triple Sensor Black/Blue . . .
Casio G-Shock Gulfmaster Triple Sensor
And I like this one as it seems to not only add a few wrinkles but has improved the night capability lighting and comes now with the addition to the usual ABC sensors, a Tide Graph and Moon complication. It also uses the newish “smart Access” crown switching system which apparently makes it easier to use – and that has to be a good thing. Solar Tough, so no battery issues, Radio Controlled with 6 Receivers and that Double LED lighting system in a case where the dimensions are not too bad for once.
Full LED double light system – much better at night.
44.9mm wide, 55.8 lug to lug and maybe still a bit thick at 16.2mm – but it looks smaller. I particularly like the analog time functions with decent solid hands, large hour markers and the numerical bezel, which incidentally make it look more like a conventional watch than most G-Shock models – and I like that. It also manages a reasonably uncluttered dial and that’s also good.
See what I mean about the night clarity – looks much better if this image is anything to go by and not before time in my opinion from Casio.
Price point is around $500 or less if you can get one so relatively light on the pocket and it’s still a light weight wrist item too at just 101 gms. So all in all I have to say I’m impressed.
But what to do with all my existing ones is a problem, which I have to say is an issue I’ve never had with my Patek Philippe! So maybe I’ll just watch and wait for the next one as there bound to be another shock tomorrow!
The technical wizardry of the 175 years celebration model from Patek Philippe is the Grandmaster Chime 5175. 7 years in development and 2 years to construct, this video give just a hint at the incredible vision and skill to produce such an amazing timepiece. One will stay at the Petek Philippe museum collection, so that makes 6 (only 7 are to be completed) – so maybe that Christmas present you were agonizing over is not too late?
The details I’ll leave to my friends at “A blog to watch” as it’s just a tad over my budget this year . . . . . . Another friend of mine said that it was about the size of his watch but heavier, I mean what’s better than my G-Shock? he said. . .
Of course I shot him and buried him just last Tuesday! Well he wanted another shock . . . 😉
If you haven’t seen it yet – here’s the video . . . .
Price I understand is (if you have to ask you’re out of your league) around $2.6mil – and no dud checks please!
Another model for the woman in your life, especially if you are not concerned about price. Nice if you have no concerns, though for the rest of us mortals who worry about bills, then I’d look elsewhere – but of course dreams and love are what makes the world go around, so who knows?
Laurent Ferrier Lady F
This is the Lady F from Laurent Ferrier – a Mother-or Pearl automatic masterpiece which includes the Galet Micro-Rotor. The case is a rounded 39mm to ensure a closer fit and comfort for a ladies’ wrist. As you see the dial is actually Mother-of-Pearl which in this case is stylized in texture and features “voluptuous arabesque motifs” according to Ferrier, “delicately interwoven foliage or refined detail of exquisite embroidery”. The dial also has a diamond @12 to enhance readability. The case itself is a beautifully sculpted affair with wonderful side panel in goodness knows what in stones (the web site doesn’t elaborate) though whatever they are, they look terrific. I also note the elegant little cabochon on the crown which compliments the dial. There is also an awful lot more going on in this watch than can be seen just in one image, but you can be sure it’s a special piece. Just got to make sure my better half (Wife) never sees this . . .
I’m dreaming . . . !
Note – For a mother-of-pearl dial ladies watch perhaps in a more realistic price range there is always the Certina DS Podium, which I featured recently. From one of the better Swiss Watch companies it makes extremely fine models across a varied price range. The DS Podium is a lovely watch, practical Quartz, elegant and yet very affordable.
Because I like “aviator” style watches I thought I’d introduce this one Techné Instruments – the Harrier Automatic Cockpit Watch Model 363.090. One of the nicer Aviation style models around these day and in Automatic form represents extremely good value too. This particular version attracts me as it has a “Shark” super mesh link stainless steel deployment bracelet/strap, that lifts it from utility to officer class.
Techné Harrier Automatic Cockpit Watch 363.090
I also like Techné as a Company as they are not averse to using what they consider appropriate for their needs. They are totally committed to good design, quality and value. The Harrier model is no exception as here they utilize the Miyota 9015, 24 jewel Automatic and as noted on the dial in small red script is the “Opus Manufactum” (Latin) expression, meaning “Hand Worked”.
This applies to the whole watch, including the movement which has been regulated by Techné to surpass it’s standard accuracy of -10/+30 seconds per day, to just -4/+6 seconds, which is to COSC standards. The Harrier also features a scratch resistant Sapphire Crystal with a single AR Anti-reflective inner surface coating .
The watch face itself is a nice matte color black and the large numerals at 12, 6 and 9 with the markers are coated with C1 Superluminova, as are the hour. minute and center sweep seconds hands. Note the identification aid to visibility dots either side of the 12, which is a throw back to earlier dials to aid clarity and orientation, when giving the dial a quick glance. Unobtrusive and highly effective. The dial is otherwise commendably uncluttered with only the addition of a decent size Date Window @3. The crystal is Sapphire scratch resistant.
The hatched area to the left of the window is of course purely cosmetic and another reflection of the Instrument dials of altimeters in older aircraft cockpit instrument displays. But the small arrow to the left of the hatched area is an indicator of the direction of turn when using the crown during date changing, a feature I really like as I’m for ever turning crowns the wrong way on many of my analogue models, especially annoying of course if they feature day and date.
The Miyota 9015 features hacking seconds of course so accurate “from the time signal” setting is easy and to the second.
The watch dimensions are 41mm diameter (44mm with crown) by 51mm lug to lug and 11.1mm height, so a good sized model for once and one that should fit most wrists. The case is brushed 316L stainless steel and the 6mm wide well defined fluted crown is a screw down type, which is in line with the Water Resistance rating of 50m (5ATM). The watch back is exhibition which shows the Miyota movement, signed Techné, though to me, without much in the way of decoration seems a wasted opportunity.
I like this model and with the mesh deployment bracelet gives it an elegance and sophistication not often associated with Aviator models, which is very pleasing and a consideration for my own collection. The Harrier 363.090 represents very good vale with features not often featured at this price point such as Sapphire crystal, AR coating and a COSC regulated Automatic movement and is available, depending on model variant, with either a high quality stainless mesh deployment bracelet or a tan oiled quality leather strap with buckle.
Well I said it a few Posts ago, when I discovered the very nice Certina Swiss ladies model. I thought maybe this could be a rather elegant gift for someone who hopefully like it as much as I – IF I got one . . . and as this someone is how shall I say, not the most careful when it comes to wearing watches. Most of her old ones have scratched glass, case and bracelets or manage to get water in them! So what do you do? and I know for a fact she does not like macho or utility, military or silly girlie watches and certainly not resin or plastic cased models at all!
The Certina DS Podium with Mother-of-Pearl center dial
Anyway I thought the Certina DS system model I found the other week would be ideal. And with a little bit of difficulty I managed to get hold of one from a nice company in Germany who managed to get it fairly quickly as it happens and who sent it via DHL and it arrived today.
The model I’d looked at on that previous Post had a red strap with matching chapter, but I thought I’d go for Gold color with white as it was arguably that little bit more dressy. This is the Certina DS Podium 3 hand model with a Swiss ETA Quartz movement. 316L Stainless Steel case in gold color with a lovely Mother-of-Pearl and white dial layout with Roman numerals, elegantly shaped black outlined and luminous infilled hands and black centre seconds hand. Plus a Large Date window @6 which is unusual for a ladies model. Clear Sapphire crystal with ultra scratch resistance and one of the clearest dials for ladies I’ve seen and being in a DS configuration is surprisingly one tough watch.
The Turtle motif denotes DS – classification.
The Certina DS system features certain elements that Certina have sort of championed in their watch range which include –
Excellent Water Resistance of 100m or 10bar – ‘o’ gasket on the stem, 2 x ‘o’ gaskets in the crown, special gasket on the reinforced case back ( I kid you not), plus excellent shock protection. The case dimensions are a neat but good size for Ladies at 32.5mm diameter x 8.86mm depth and the battery life is around 2 years including an EOL system (end of life) where the second hand jumps in 4 second intervals.
Quality leather strap in white with deployment closure.
And to cap it all there is a 2 year Guarantee and the watch with it’s white matching cabochon on the crown looks every bit the dress watch that it is.
Well I gifted the watch today (a special day as it happens) and that someone is absolutely delighted!
Dial clarity of the Certina DS Podium Ladies model C025.10.36.118.00
Here the last image shows the clarity of this dial – a feature I’m particularly pleased about AND these elegant hands are luminous too . . . .
So if you’re looking for a watch gift for your good lady or bad lady if it comes to it this year – Christmas is just around the corner – this is not a bad choice. It’s beautifully made, very attractive and elegant, will survive the pool but also look stunning at dinner – and doesn’t cost a fortune.
