Totally agree with you on those brands especially Anordain, their    dials look amazing! Nice to see      Zodiac too. Only caught the final talk, Watches and Whisky. Which as the name suggests was awesome!
I also attended WorldTimeUk at Heathrow in September which was also really good but I do think  these events should be spread throughout the year rather than in quite quick succession.

It’s making me quite tempted to get the red sharp-edged Presage just to even things up!

Really like that Accutron II, that case shape looks great!

Thanks! Took me a while to whittle it down to this 7 to be honest. So who would your Magnificent 7 be then? 

commented on Battle of Watches: Swiss Holy Trinity vs the World ·

I brought this up on IG about a year ago cos I just feel there are too many great brands out there for a ‘Holy Trinity’ to still stand. 
So I proposed a ‘Magnificent 7’ ! 

Here are the pics that accompanied my post, who agrees and if not what would you change?

The Fears watch on my wrist is the Brunswick PT it is made of solid platinum and is really heavy! The finishing is incredible and it was great to try it on but at £28K I don’t think I’ll be owning one anytime soon! 
I met Nicholas the owner at SalonQP when he first relaunched the brand and he’s genuinely one of the nicest people in the industry.

I think the Autumn 2021 show was the first one ( might be wrong) but it looks like the intention is to hold them twice yearly. I’ll put some pics and info up on here after the weekend. 
I used to go to the old SalonQP and loved that but I think this will be a different type of show altogether. Guess I’ll find out tomorrow!
