Explore Rhyzen's culinary journey with his A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Perpetual. Discover how luxury watches enhance life's simple pleasures.

Rhyzen's post beautifully illustrates how a luxury timepiece can elevate everyday experiences, even a simple meal. His photographic journey with the A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Perpetual through a French culinary adventure in Singapore reminds us that watches are not just instruments of time, but companions in our most cherished moments. This article explores how collectors integrate their passion for horology into their lifestyle.

The dent that the pandemic made to travel plans ironically translates to a greater impetus to rediscover local offerings. Finally had the opportunity to check out Café Aux Bacchanales recently, and the experience did not disappoint.

The "weapon of choice" as company for these culinary adventures was again the trusty Datograph Perpetual.

The starters, comprising salade César and potage parmentier, sets the stage nicely:

Of course, the mains stole the show. The ribeye steak frites with sauce bordelaise was most excellently done, and my better half was similarly impressed with her poission loup meuniere.

The desserts are a must for those with a sweet tooth: crème brûlée and crepe au chocolat:

I highly recommend all friends to check out Café Aux Bacchanales if you happen to drop by Singapore. Here's to more culinary adventures for everyone!

I love this post. What a treat! The perfect meal, too, since I have the food preferences of a 3-year-old child. Not a bit of broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, beets, radishes, or cooked spinach anywhere in sight - heaven! As long as any parsley can be easily discarded (there may be a bit on top of the soup) and the nuts (pistachos) on the dessert are barely noticeable, I'd lick all those plates clean! The watch ain't bad either.

I must add though, that the company was most important!

I guess our food preferences are similar. The pistachio went really well with the crepe though!

I would love having the Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon in black dial one day!
