Lots of Thoughts on This . . .
In Response To: Neither do I ()

I have a lot of (jumbled) thoughts on this whole approach to modern watches -- activity of the brands in developing new watches [remember when they used to do this?], limited editions from the influencers [consider the 2017 version of the Autavia], and the role of enterprises that do custom / modified watches (like Bamford).

I will try to post something later today or tonight, at the latest.

: Henrik I agree with you - in fact I don't think we should thank you
: for posting a picture of it, quite the contrary ;-P!
: I am generally not a fan of Bamforded watches, I may have seen a
: couple that I thought "This could be appealing"
: compared to tens I did not like at all. And let me come clean
: altogether: even for those I liked a bit, I changed my mind
: almost immediately when I read how much the Bamfordization
: costs: value for money surely it is not.
: On the whole, this is not the first time they seem to have mimicked
: some glorious watch from Heuer past - but the comparison with
: the original always make the real thing shine and the
: Bamford-made version pale.
: Cheers,
