^^^ Thanks for this. Also from the same article: "But the company is now under the majority ownership of long-term investor Hellcat Acquisitions and US billionaire Bill Ackman, who between them injected £48.4mn into the lossmaking brand last year. Since the arrival of Cerrato, the brothers no ...

Wow Bremont look like a complete disaster for that kind of money. What a hot mess.

Rolex at no.1 is no surprise.What is,is Cartier outselling Omega..my guess is that they are perceived to be a "superluxury" brand in China and to a lesser extent,India. Not surprised with this, Cartier havent really changed their looks over the years and so have grown into a Rolex equalli...

You already know.

Great post. I bought a planet ocean for £1400 just after the recession of 2008, it was slightly shop soiled but not too big a deal.

On the exact day I turned 40 I caught pneumonia (I'm blaming the 3 slices of the Mrs chocolate brownie that I ate for birthday cake) almost died and en...

It's nice on a leather NATO mostly.

It reminds me of a quote from Robert Downey Jr in Tropic Thunder...."you never go full .....

Owned quite a few balls, they take a lickin and keep on tickin.

I feel like the explorer is the ultimate "one watch" design. Feels at home in any environment. Have definitely taken some inspiration from it myself as most brands have I bet. Doubt il ever get featured in a blog but figure il just keep going with my little brand, it's been great fun, no r...

Happy with how it came out.

Wow Paul, great result. I'd say thats at least £1k over what I thought it might have gone for.
