Horological Meandering

Thanks Linda. This post was a question. "Will watches be sold...?"

 

Apologies that you were offended.

The pictures are a reflection of how most magazines use girls and models this way today. Pateks, Hublots, RMs..all the same..likewise, remember the pics of Dufour in a room with a scantily clad girl in Revo? And all the rest?

All these can be picked up by our children from my watch magazines lying around the house.

Wow..your words and post are quite pointed. I hope you have also written to the magazines that have published these pics...and used the same visual agendas.

Again...just to recap..this post is a question for discussion. There are less children who visit this site than there will be who read the watch magazines, or browse thru them.

I have no issues with both for and against...personally.

I respect your views.

Even if I don't like GG, I will stop by to take a look. However, I doubt this is an acceptable method in Asian culture. Like it or not, people may link it with prostitution (in Singapore, prostitution is legal). Then, it may create problem. I believe this... 

Is that manual winding? LoL

I hope not as the watch is merely noticiable. Cheers

Jokes aside, individuals have to give certain considerations and respect to the sort of information published to elicit participation and comments. In the context of Singapore, women make up 50% of the population. Hence, there should be gender equality. T...

Appreciate the response you wrote Ming. I believe many agree with me on this matter, but many will also disagree in some ways. Most important is when anyone wants to put out his or her opinion, being professional and tactful are basic guides considering t...

... The manufacturers of products that need such kind of marketing must think it is so bad that it would not convince customers by its quality alone. Regards, Marcus

Thank you, Marcus..

I really feel grateful for some who show support through positive response openly like you and Ming, plus those who PM me. I was about to give up already. It can be discouraging for 'a little girl to play at her favourite playground when she feels unsafe ...

If a watch is good then it will not require any distractions . The buyer will want to buy the watch because of what it is not because of the packaging . But then there are so many watches out there that do require creative marketing because it does lack s...
