I am not too keen on Chopards normally (sorry!) but this watch had been do a double take!!

Have you seen the other Chopard urushi watches?

 
 By: MTF : February 16th, 2018-03:19
sham1, Tastes vary. Have you seen all the other Chopard urushi watches and even the non-Chinese Zodiac ones? They are miniature works of art. Read the PURISTSPRO articles below. Heiando Interview [CLICK} Urushi Technique [CLICK] PuristS Tarzan in Hong Kon...  

Yes I have seen them

and you are correct - tastes vary Not too keen on any of them apart from that dog!

Amazing and now we need psychoanalysis

sham1, Just rest yourself on my comfortable couch..... Now...r-e-l-a-x and breathe gently. Tell me about your childhood. That's why our hobby is so fascinating. After so many urushi designs, the Year of the Dog calls to you. Somehow, that combination of c...  

Most tempting MTF!!

ie relaxing on your comfortable couch, r-e-l-a-x and breathe gently - all quite foreign emotions for someone who has been jet lagged for more than 7 months!!! Yes,admittedly I am quite fussy with the urushi or enamel dials. The picture has to be attractiv... 

Are you referring to that mole

which only adds to her beauty in my opinion?!

That's why it's called a 'beauty spot'

In Japanese art, seeking perfection in an imperfect world is impossible. So, when a Master has created a masterpiece, he deliberately makes a flaw in it and then charges a shed-load of money! I've seen some amazing ceramics in high-end boutiques with inde... 

I shy away from any object

with more than 4 or 5 zeroes. Way out of my league my dear MTF! Yes a crack would make an item a bespoke item - just like a bank note with a discrepancy. But to do it on purpose is almost cheating!!

I was a millionnaire in Greece once...

 
 By: MTF : February 16th, 2018-04:28
Of course, it depends on the currency. The Japanese art were priced in yen so it looked like a lot... In Greece, before the EU, I had a million drachmae in my hands so I was a "millionaire". Don't panic! it wasn't that much...price of a two week holiday f... 

I am sure MTF that

you are sufifciently well healed in any currency!!

Ah, so nice... Dog looks very..well...like a dog! :-)

Happy new year to those who celebrate lunar new year! Ken

Original Hachiko: Dog-like dog in Tokyo

 
 By: MTF : February 16th, 2018-03:25
Ken, Chopard chose Akita-like dog to represent the best qualities of faithful dog much as Hachiko demonstrated in Tokyo, waiting each day at Shibuya Station for years after his master had died. Regards, MTF Hachiko 1934 Shibuya Station_by Isamu Yamamoto ...  

Now I know what I like the watch

 
 By: sham1 : February 16th, 2018-03:29
I am a great fan of Hachiko, always have, always will.

Gee, Melvyn...

... Like "a dog of Frandre", this story always brings tears to my eyes. Yet, I saw many version of the movies, anime, about this. Everybody said it was not a good film, but I even cried at Richard Gere version! Such a wonderful story. Yes, who love dogs s... 

I cried too! [nt]

Oh, my friend!!! [nt]

And I saw it twice!!!

Lovely film.

My aunt watched Bollywood film "Haathi mere Saathi" more than 20 times

 
 By: MTF : February 16th, 2018-05:06
'Haathi mere Saathi' (1971) or 'Elephants my Companions' was a blockbuster in the Hindi film industry. My late aunt saw it more than 20 times but it helped that her husband was the cinema manager! Love, Hate, Betrayal, Cruelty, Depravity, Hope, It had it ...  

Kudos to your aunt

The mood on dial of the monkey version has impressed me a lot: the dawn of mankind, one could say. [Photo added by Editor] L.U.C XP Urushi Year of the Monkey ...
