Your quote ‘ 1% of people actually use it for what it is intended for’ is bulls eye. Maybe it is our British and conservative nature. Maybe our translation to the old church clock, or shall i say Big Ben. I see a watch as a miniature version of a clock as...
I think we agree at the fullest

Albeit we are in a kind of community where chronograph fans think different. Sure, some chronographs are looking very good. I can not ignore that. A Hublot Big Bang is one of them. The Breitling Navitimer, i can not wear an other Breitling if it is not a ...
