Perhaps not. “Self-appointed as the guardians of horological traditions…” Perhaps so. Marketing blurb, of course, but very nice to see St. Gallen include the PPro ABR in their latest catalogue. The St. Gallen range are honest watches that perform well and...
Thanks Andrew. The catalogue is new to me too!
Is that a luminous keychain holder? Kong
