Hong Kong, December '68: I was all of eleven . . .
. . . and visiting with my family on vacation. They acquired a painting by H Leung . . .
. . . which now has pride of place in their living room. My memories of that trip are still vivid - an excursion by boat around the island, visiting a floating restaurant with a fish tank for a menu(!), and most miserably, a trip to a tailor for my first woolen suit. I've never worn wool since. Itchy stuff, that.
Dad's Longines Conquest . . .
. . . which may well have been on his wrist that day at the art gallery where this painting was acquired.

Happy New Year ...
I wish a wonderful Snake Year to all. A wonderful weekend to all, Nilo ...
I've just been reading about the Year of the Snake . . .
. . . and it appears there are five varieties - wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. This is the year of the Water Snake. I wonder what your Zodiac has to say about the prospects for the coming year . . .
According to my sources ...
This is the year of the Black Water Snake. A good excuse to wear this watch: All black titanium: Cheers, Nilo ...

That's a great story ...
Art, is a wonderful story because includes Hong Kong and a family memento. I love HK for several reasons, the people, food and, in special, because it was there that I got my first serious watch. Thanks for sharing with us, Nilo
I also got my first watch on that trip, Nilo, a Dulux . . .
. . . which has to be the most obscure Swiss manufacturer of all time ;-) . . . ...

was it previously owned by a big fluffy old english sheepdog Art ? :) On 7 Feb 2013 19:09, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* Dr No (registered) on February 7th, 2013 - 11:09 > > *Title: I also got my first watch on that trip...
Ummm . . . no . . .
. . . and I'm confused - is Dulux the name of a famous English sheepdog? I've heard of Dulux paint , but that's the only other Dulux I know of . . .
yep, thats what i was...
yep, thats what i was referring too Art, but its obviously just an english thing. the TV ads for dulux paint always have a big fluffy old english sheepdog in them. they are pretty much known as the dulux dog now. G On 7 Feb 2013 19:17, "www watchprosite" ...
Yes, it's still in my possession . . .
. . . but haven't worn it for years. The last time it was on my wrist, pplater had initiated a "wear your smallest watch" thread. The Dulux was duly strapped to my wrist, only to stop several hours after a full wind. I never bothered to take it back to th...

hi Merv, it certainly looks like it, but i personally think its better. its Eglomise which is reverse painting on glass. in this case its reverse painted on 0.4mm sapphire. all done by hand by the one man team that makes up Angular Momentum. i love chines...
can i ask why the Bugatti watch is covering 1/2 the screen on every post
or is it only happening on my tablet? G
I'm not seeing what you're describing on my Mac, Graham . . .

The times they are a changin´
When aircrafts had curtains and single velvet seats and people wore hats, ties, mustaches and pocket watches on chains. The Omega bridges the times between the 30´s and the present: Kind regards and a Happy New Year to our Asian friends anaesdoc ...
Great match ...
The old Omega and, correct me if I'm wrong, a cartoon from TinTin. Suggestion for another picture. Try to position the Omega in such a way that the first "inspector" is looking to it. Cheers, Nilo
Tintin is correct, Nilo!
Next time I will hopefully remember your photographic suggestion - thanks a lot! Best regards anaesdoc
That's one of the best chinese characters I seen.
Usually the fonts are out of proportion. Nice to see Cartier put in the effort to do them right. Happy Lunar New Year Regard Tyler

What a great icy shot,great effect...The guilloche work on DB dials is just amazing.... The latest feast of DE Bethune on AHCI was a real banquet and left me disoriented.... Mo
Thanks a lot my friend,
This one was an unintended lucky shot :p As for De Bethune, This was indeed a year to remember but you know, after a while, I must say the DB28 Skybridge is quite impressive but if I had to choose one it would be the Starysky. The Skybridge is beautiful a...
