Boutique Crawling in Singapore
Hi All, Singapore is like watch heaven for me. Singapore and Hong Kong are the closest major watch hubs that I can reach and were the first places I experienced true haute horlogerie, so both have a special place in my heart. On this occasion we visited M...
great post AndrewD
and great pics. as usual from you.The antigua looks great on your wrist.5 years watch celibacy huh ?.I can sense it would be your next grail piece, arriving sooner rather than later.
Hey Andrew, can't you organise some consulting sessions in HK/Singapore??
Imagine a tax deductable trip AND coming back with another tourbillon- that LF is to die for!! Julian
I want to join!!!
Hope I can join something like this one weekend!! Just 7-hour flight.... HK would be closer, though (4 hours).... Ken
Beautiful watches...
Love the Ludovic... Can't wait to visit Singapore and Hong Kong to check out these impressive watch shops. They are truly unique watch stores that I don't think I've ever seen resembled anywhere else in the world.
Oops..OK..it was the time of the GTG! Just saw below.
I was totally tied up and at work...had to miss that! Apologies!
We will have to catch up at IGOTT, Bernard.
It would have been fun in SG. You introduced me to Vianney at TEMPUS2 which I always appreciated. See you and Dolly in Vegas, and next time in SG. Regards Andrew
Quite a day of crawling there.
Looks like you had quite a time in the boutiques. Those Vianney Halters are very impressive. And at the other end of the design spectrum, I also like that VC ultrathin. Certainly beats the local shopping options… grumio
That VH Trio is gorgeous!
I love that watch...sadly, it can only be a dream. Maybe if I won Singapore Sweepstakes? Hm...
some serious steampunk
with the Journe tourbillons and the Antiqua next to each other. Great report. I am repeating myself but Singapore must be the promised land. Best Andreas
Singapore is a MUST visit one day place for me!
Another great travel report, Andrew! Thank you, now Singapore is a MUST visit one day place for me! Best Blomman
Thanks a lot Andrew for the report.
And I'm glad to see Vianney's watches ! Fr.Xavier
I think all Vianney's designs ...
.. have aged very well. Classical but modern with interesting lines and case shapes. They just get better and better over time. Andrew
Oh my.....
......*sighs* as I live vicariously. The Antiqua (for the steampunk streak in me), the Upside Down and the Breguet for me please...oh and I wouldn't mind your watches, heh.
More Steampunk threads not to be missed ...
Thanks for the kind words, aptronym. I didn't know you were a steampunk fan! Although there have been a few, here are a couple of steampunk threads that should not be missed. I post the links in case you did! Steampunk . Watches as machines . Regards Andr...
once you seen one, you've seen it all
i think all the watch shops here are pretty similar with their line ups.
But you should still consider ...
... yourself lucky to have access to so many brand boutiques as well as specialist authorized dealers. You would not find an independent watch on sale within 1000 Km of me. I agree that it can get repetitive in SG, but it's a problem I would be willing to...
Not bad for one evening ...
Four Boutiques, an informal interview with Laurent Lecamp about his new brand "Klepcys" (report and photos to follow) and dinner all in the space of a few hours. And I consider you one of the kings of watch photography, so I appreciate your kind comments....
Thanks Andrew
Thanks for the tour Andrew. Don't be so hard on yourself the pics look great. Beautiful watches, there were more than just one Grail watch in that line up. Thanks for sharing! Cheers SamEE
