Karen and Iris both deserve kudos for pulling off a wonderful event, especially given that this is the first event Rootz, based in Hong Kong, has organised here in Singapore. Bravo!

Part IV: The Watch

 
 By: SJX : June 17th, 2008-10:07
The Watch It is a rare occasion that an entire event is built around a single watch which attracts such a huge amount of attention constantly throughout the evening as the Chapter One did last night....  

My thoughts at the VERY moment were..and I am honest.

 
 By: bernard cheong : June 17th, 2008-17:36
The movement in a watch of this class is INCREDIBLE. It is exactly like the finest wine..I mean just look at it. And then it hit me that I had always thought of the movement as a wine..but in reality, it is more like a woman's body. Sexy and erotic in a m...  

without seeing the watch, I see your point and only disagree slightly

 
 By: SteveH : June 17th, 2008-22:41
Again I have not seen the watch, but if it's going to be basically unwearable, why not make the case super sexy and unique too? This looks to be a fairly boring case of classic design and crazy proportions. I'd love to see this supercar engine housed in a...

that this watch is quite a (dare I say?) disappointment for me. In my view it is in line with current mainstream high horology, and lacks (for me) cutting edge original thinking or intellectually appealing concepts in terms of: - chronometrical merit - mo... 

Part V: The Watch (continued)

 
 By: SJX : June 17th, 2008-10:12
The Watch The Chapter One is an immense watch, both in terms of physical presence as well as technical complexity, no doubt thanks to the unique skills, in terms of watchmaking, production and design, of each of the three watchmakers. This message has bee...  

Thanks for sharing

Awesome SJX. What can I say.

 
 By: Bill : June 17th, 2008-22:51
Hi SJX, I guess a simple thank you. Your reporting is second to none. thanks Bill

Thank you all very much for your constructive comments

Chapter One is the result of many years of development by Christophe Claret, Roger Dubuis, Peter Speake-Marin and myself, and our goal was to create a watch which reflected all of the strengths of the team rather than anyone individual. The aim was always...
