Hay guys.
Had a awesome day at the SalonQP event in London yesterday! It was amazing. Sadly no breitling and omega but it had some very extreme and low production manufacturers. A horological dream! Got to try on some stunners!
Did anyone else go?

Yeah I met the chief designer, proper mad and passionate. Truly what a brand like that needs! Just googled it.... $1.2m... (£750k) errrrrrr....

No wonder I hadn't come across it before : slightly above my payscale, and I must be honest but these mega-expensive pieces only have a very limited appeal for me. They're great to see what goes into them from a horological perspective, but once you see the price they become entirely pointless IMO. |

Also, i cant think of any situation where i would say "ah yes, this sutis the occasion" |
