Lovely piece on the Antiquorum auction in Hong Kong last Saturday! It did...
not sell unfortunately.
Perhaps because it is numbered 14 which means “definite death” in Cantonese ?
How do you like this reference ?
Cheers,
Gordon

888 is the bus route to Luton Airport...
Perhaps someone could be superstitious about using this bus when wearing a Patek ?
The location is very glamorous...
An international destination. You should consider a vacation to Luton.
Luton is much nicer
Hands down Luton. Full of friendly, well educated, glamorous (at a reasonable price) people.
That would explain it..
I’m very envious, I bet you’ve got an outrageous tan. Can you share any photos?
I just did :)
My "watch piggybank" is empty. Wait till I tell everyone about our next holiday destination...
Must do
We normally fly GW or HR, but always, always go to North London. Luton rules! Benjamin

I simply can’t believe the hypocrisy in the EU. We condemn about everything, but this is still allowed...
Well what I wanted to say
Is that I lake the case, execution, enamel dial, but not the scene. So not sure how it works with references but would imagine the same reference exists with multiple dials? Br, Dirk
yes Dirk, there are similar references with other motifs such as...
the skyline of Hong Kong and the city of Venice
Beautiful enamel work, Gordon.
I really like the hour markers as well. The hands probably less.
LOL, I hadn’t thought of them like swords...
What I thought was that I find the lume doesn’t match the style of the rest of the watch and the seconds hand a bit out of place. Regarding the scene, it is an old cultural practice in some parts of the world. Just like fox hunting or the right to carry f...
Ha ha, yes, my friend.
It’s not easy. But thanks for posting it. It’s an interesting watch.
14 which means “definite death” for the BULL in this case (dial) ;-))
Wonderful idea IMHO
That may be somewhat of a generalisation?
Fewer and fewer Spaniards support the pastime. "An Ipsos Mori poll from January, carried out for animal welfare organisation World Animal Protection, found that only 19 percent of adults in Spain supported bullfighting, while 58 percent opposed it," as Re...
Thanks for sharing!
Indeed, too much assumptions into it! But the figures are interesting
Yes, perhaps somewhat of a generalization, but this watch was made 18 years ago and many...
things changed in Spain for the past 18 years.
My point was ....
.....that it is a generalisation to say spaniards will like a watch with bull fighting on it. That was the point.
UN will gladly ...
pay license fee to have your metador on their enamel dials ! Go for it ! ;-)
