but if he were to consult me about Patek, I would certainly steer him away from a 5216. 5016 hands down a better more balanced timepiece. When it comes to highly complicated pateks, there used to be many good choices. These days the decisions when buying ...
Such generalisations

Are really silly and not helpful to those in this business who are honest and have ethics. Ofcourse they are some who are not ethical but that is the same in any other business. While I don't like Ackman personally who I have met several times at conferen...
Seriously?

is a minute repeater tourbillon perpetual calendar with retrograde hands....replaced the 5016 which had the same function. i think watch preference depends on the person. some people, no matter how wealthy, could never fathom spending over $10 on a watch....
How wrong you are
By: Le Monde Edmond : March 10th, 2015-04:47
Perception is everything my friend. If a manager has lost me 40% in one year and he is running around with a $100'ooo I won't like it. Even though it might have nothing to do directly with my investments - it still would be one more annoying factor. The m...
