A Purdey is something you might be lucky enough to commission before you order that G650.

I have neither a Purdey nor a G650 (most likely never) but a man can dream, or live vicariously through some Purists who may have one or both.

Fine guns vs. luxury watches
By: jleno : January 1st, 2021-08:01
I've been looking a little bit at high-end "art" guns recently. Some are incredibly impressive, and I wonder if they are perhaps better artistic value for the money compared to watches. Most are too pretty to ever consider shooting though. I'd be curious ...
Those are spectacular

And the price for some of these is equally spectacular!

Hehe, i’m also afraid of a complaining family member. Said, why another new watch? The asking vows in the face. I well, i wanted the watch, because it makes me happy. F you have already nice watches, why not buy a car for me? I Huuum, (my thoughts) that c...
machines that tell time vs machine to kill

Sorry to rock your boat..to each his own..no I don't think they can compare in any way, I also don't think that there is any value in weapons ! Watches, well a different story. May be this was better suited for "weapons meandering"...
I think people who collect these...

Are like those who collect antique swords or suits of armor etc. for their beauty and craftsmanship. The MET in NYC has a spectacular permanent exhibit of suits of armor and weaponry that are considered art, hence their inclusion in the museum.

A couple of years ago, when Richemont bought Purdy I attended an exhibition in NY and I was analyzed by the craftsmanship and know how needed to fabricate this shotguns/rifles. If we compare the engraving, wood carving, metallurgy involved, with the mostl...
Thanks and happy to new year to you as well!

Interesting, I wasn't aware that Purdey is part of Richemont. I don't know too much about guns yet, but I do think the value proposition some brands are offering is very intriguing from what I've seen so far. Will definitely have to look out for the oppor...
The area of pens
By: Weems@8 : January 1st, 2021-16:20
Oh, the water finds it’s way to pens. I can not help reading montblanc thinking about roller balls. Writing is are fine thing. Meandering is sailing on wind, discover new worlds. Montblanc, the famous white mountain in Europe. I never took a hike on that ...
Just looked up production numbers for a couple of gun makers...
By: jleno : January 1st, 2021-20:59
Purdey makes about 75 guns with about 60 employees. Similar numbers for others like Holland & Holland as well. So the production/employee ratio for these companies is on par with Greubel Forsey...Seems less surprising now that these guns easily go int...
Terrific pair!

Owning both, would you rather put your money towards watches or guns in general?
Good question

It's nice to have a bit of both, and thankfully I live in a location where I can have many different type of things.
