"Property of a Gentleman"
Dec 22, 2010,13:43 PM
I would like to swap one day with this Gentleman, whomever he is. In particular, I would like to try on the Audemars Piguet pictured in this link. It is almost a mythical beast, this particular Edward Piguet tourbillon. I could imagine myself thinking, "Thar she blows! A hump like a snow-hill! It is Moby Dick!" when first encountering this piece in the real. Plus, I like how this Gentleman watermarks his pictures. It brings to mind the pivotal auction scene in the James Bond film, "Octopussy" during which Bond bids on a Faberge egg that is listed only as, "Property of a Lady." To see the mysterious watch of which I speak, click here .
Cheers,
Daos

Hi If I'm allowed to swap for a day (& I know who'd be getting the better deal!) - it would have to be Gary G's Reverso Minute Repeater - its gorgeous with a fabulous complication in a size that fits me to a tee. The only problem would be giving it back -...
None.

a central tourbillon is really the only complication that urges me nowadays. I just hope when I can finally afford one, it won't turn out to be like a bad one night stand that one regrets for various reasons.
Not the H8 in your avatar?

Do you want to be able to tell the time as well? I would. That would be a wonderful watch-for-a-day, I agree Andrew
