"Interesting" timing
Jan 26, 2020,19:32 PM
I'm a big LF fan and own a similar piece, but a month ago they released a very similar LE to Ku's only watch pickup.

I could certainly see him thinking such and trading it for something that didn't rub him the wrong way. Its too bad - he's a great purveyor of pure watchmaking, and it felt great having him on board with what we all thought the LF vision was. They seem to find a way to stick their foot in their mouths about three times a year. Which is a shame, as the watches themselves are unrivaled modern classic designs with ridiculous movements.

other than I like some of their offerings and wish them success. But this is actually good, constructive criticism. I'm not an MBA so I don't know the nuts and bolts of some of these proposals, but at first glance a lot of it seems reasonable...
