So I was at the Harrods Dept Store in London and saw them selling Bamford designed and branded watches . Out of curiosity asked if they have any Peanuts Snoopy partnership watch as they had done a run with King nerds x HODINKEE etc …my luck was that they ...  

Cool!

The neon green color definitely makes this more of a fun watch and might be difficult to pair clothes with. Would pair nicely with a Lamborghini sports car though! ...  

Agree

And like they say, every 2-3 hours, you meet folks who speak a totally different language! :-))

PS: On a related note, I was literally amazed today to meet people from: Italy, US, Korea (OK, that's my girlfriend ), Cuba, Brazil, Bulgaria, Venezuela, Russia, Australia, and France (and I'm probably missing someone! ;-)) While in the US this is far mor... 

Good to know!

I'm so glad that you are able to meet so many people! Variety is a spice of life!

Indeed!

I don't know about this watch...

 
 By: patrick_y : July 25th, 2023-19:03
I really wanted to like this watch. Since having briefly met Jean Arnault last year at GPHG 2021, I found him to be such a charming and likable fella. I thought he really understood it watchmaking and collectors. But now, I'm really unconvinced. The other... 

Yes! Unlucky!

I hear these journalists are getting huge paychecks. I'm told the compensation for this board "Saudi-sized" (again, no disrespect towards any government, this is simply a figure of speech) referencing to the generous amount of money golf players were comp... 

Very cool yacht! Did you see how much money they want for that new Tambour???

 
 By: patrick_y : July 25th, 2023-18:26
At that price point, I'd rather have the Bulgari. Yes, the Tambour is a higher end movement, but I'm told it still has wire springs. So it's not something that would pass Geneva Seal level.

Yep, I need to keep it brief tonight but I was given a really nice and thorough presentation by the kind folks at the Brand today (plus a couple of bottles of champagne to enjoy my day between Portofino and Genova, which never hurts! :-))

I honestly found it a very appealing watch, both horologically and aesthetically, though an obvious point of discussion was the difficulty of LV to reposition themselves in this different market, especially at a time when it's *exceptionally* competitive!... 

But at the end... The design of the watch...

 
 By: patrick_y : July 25th, 2023-19:37
The watch just doesn't look good. Also, the name "Tambour" was chosen because the previous watches were THICK and looked like a drum! "Tambour" is a French word for drum. The new one doesn't look like a drum at all. As it's much thinner. They're charging ... 

Just back from Boccadasse, even in the most hectic days a brief stop (and a good drink) at night are mandatory! :-)) I have no horse in the race (in the end, I don't even have one with Patek ;-) but I think discussing this watch is very good...

I see you have a really clear opinion and it will be interesting to hear from more and more members over time! It will only benefit the brand at this early stage, and given what I have seen, I'll genuinely be happy if they succeed in this new adventure! C... 

An uninformed opinion...

 
 By: patrick_y : July 26th, 2023-00:49
I've only seen the watch in photos and interview videos. So I admit, my experience is second hand. But also knowing how everything works, knowing about the new LVMH advisory board filled with very highly compensated journalists, and knowing the track reco...

Funny one. Does the Snoopy hit the ball once an hour with the minutes hand or is the ball moving too?

This Snoopy really is wicked cool!

I love how George Bamford can really have fun with his designs.

I could see...
