SalonQP 2013: A Most Personal Exhibition Of Fine Watches Remarkable Brands And Astoundingly Difficult Crafts

I can't really think of another time when I found a 3:40 am wake-up feel any easier than it did just a couple of days ago. On this cold Budapest morning I got up as fresh as scarcely ever before, checked all my gear one last time?- laptop, camera, chargers, lenses, flash, memory cards, batteries - and finally set off to have what I would call "my first watch exhibition experience." My destination was the 2013 SalonQP fine watch exhibition, held between the 7th and 9th of November, in the Saatchi Gallery in the fabulous city of London.?Saying that I was excited would be a massive unders

Laurent, as it was explained to me, used to work at Patek Philippe and was now due to start his own brand.

Linde Werdelin SpidoLite Family Watches

This new rose gold version of the Linde Werdelin SpidoLite... is DYNA-AMITE! And this DLC version of the super skeletonized case watch is OUTTA-SIGHT! Really, they are pretty cool, and I think took an interesting design to a much more luxurious place. The Original SpidoLite SA watch I reviewed here was more a stealth wealth watch. Interesting, but not showy enough for some people's tastes. The new Linde Werdelin SpidoLite Family watches are a brag worthy line of limited edition watches of the likes I've never seen before. No other company than Linde Werdelin that I know of is so able t
