Will going 'Haute' end my watch obsession?
You sit by the pool long enough, your bound to take a dip. The dear old Music biz stayed my hand hi fi wise, although in truth I must now be called your very own mid-mid hi fi man in that regard, as baby steps have been taken, but with watches the Speedway is wide open.
Fondling the VC patrimony contemporaine 85150 in Harrods the other day filled me with unbearable longing, but at £21.3K I can't justify it, so can I be sated with the Blancpain 50 fathoms?
I don't have a dive watch in the stable, or a sports watch, and though it is entirely subjective I feel this is the pinnacle of both. A year or so ago I had a parade down New Bond st, the street with all the greats, but my eyes only shone at the musky Blancpain shop, with the nice shrubbery in front.
When I eventually get a day off, I shall peruse with intent. Watch this space.
