What time is it? Watches and horology

Just be careful of buyers fees etc....

Read ALL the small print

It's going to fetch six figures. My limit would be three.

Sorry, they only made one…

Agree. Probably as close to a sub as your gonna get.

Cartier have done well overall, at least they switch it up. Nice touch bringing the Mini Tank back, think that'll do well.

Pretty Rapha I guess but think Nomos did great with this colour way.

Only Watch stuff has always tended to go high, especially the Pateks, but everything seems to go pretty big. Probably because the whole endeavour is a tax dodge on all sides.

Billionaire businessman’s son?

Oh and what the Fuck have Bremont done!!!

What a terrible rebrand. And on this page they show someone climbing without a helmet on which is super shitty.

Any brand showing people partaking in sports where a helmet is essentially mandatory, not wearing a helmet, is so lame.

built to explore the land

That's so lame :(

The Farer for me. More cohesive overall and definitely has more character. I have no opinion on their respective quality though!

Don't disagree with the helmet point; but that's a fairly well known face - not sure I've ever seen him with a lid?

Bremont are the Fisker of watches.

So sad to see.

Apparently you can't wear a watch in London anymore:

The watch in question:

They'd be doing the lad a favour, nicking that monstrosity.

£20K to look like a free gift you got with your Action Man

That article doesn’t show a watch?

It’s already been nicked because London…

The Bremont rebrand is a crying shame. I'm a sucker for block lume and parts of the new watches' design are ok but the dial font/logo kill them all stone dead. I get that they're going for a younger demographic etc, but it looks so generic, not something you'd expect to help a luxury brand to get its sale s up. Mind you, if i don't like it, maybe that means they're getting their market right.

Picked up this the other day. Neat little french LIP with a guilloche dial.

The founders have pretty much left. New CEO is going downmarket and cutting costs. More imported movements, less British manufacturing. https://www.ft.com/content/40e06076-423b-4d45-aef9-ff8d9a7ed793

I like this but cannot unsee hewlett packard

LOL. Now that you mention it..

what the Fuck have Bremont done!!!

Whatever it is, it would be hard to be worse than what they were doing.

You do seem to hear of people being robbed for their watches in a way that I don't recall say 10yrs ago.

Someone I used to work withs cousin was stabbed somewhere in the City for their Rolex. It sounded like it was planned, but still.

The again my fellow commutees into Canary Wharf seem to manage to make it in each day with their subs.
