Visiting The Flagship Bremont Watch Boutique In London
Living in the UK and speaking to watch-lovers and people connected to the watch industry, conversations inevitably veer towards the phenomenon that is Bremont. Of note, of course, is the seemingly meteoric rise of the brand out of nowhere, and now, in its twelfth year in 2013, it has five main collections, a number of sold-out limited editions, and legions of fans among celebrities and watch-lovers alike.Just take a look at their website if you are unfamiliar with the brand, and allow the sleek and clean presentation seduce you into wanting to own one of their watches. I know this, because every single one of the people I have spoken to about Bremont in the UK, references that one experience when a shift occurred that told them that this brand was pretty cool.It's no wonder that I consider founders Nick and Giles English of Bremont as ace marketers at the highest level. It takes a high level of understanding of the motivations of the watch-buying public to build a brand that causes peo

Has the Panerai bubble burst?
In the last few years Panerai has grown from a cult brand to a mainstream one and now produces so many models and variations, even a hardcore collector and enthusiast such as myself cannot even keep up. I love the little details that Panerai has done from year to year and liked how they produced limited numbers of pieces which were all rather unique in their own right (Panerai 127, 232, 249, 36 etc to name a few). These pieces were sought after because of its availability but also its unique look and history.Fast forward to today and many of the guys I know that used to have every Panerai under the sun including all the different variations have started to dump their collection as too many models started looking alike and Panerai didn't seem to stick to their core models, designs and heritage. When a limited production isn't a limited production anymore is also pretty disturbing for most of the collectors I know, see 448, 424 and 249, 382 and 507. While these are not the same, these we

Are we a bunch of weirdos?????
I of course say this joking bc I really enjoy my TRF bros (about 97.5% of us) BUT I got to thinking the last couple if days about our obsession/addiction to this hobby. I was looking at a recent thread posted here about what we would acquire this year and what we had flipped this past year. I was actually embarrassed to admit to all the moves a did this past year. Like really, I cant make up my mind and just enjoy my watches and ride off into the sunset with a 2 or 3 watch collection and never look back. NOPE!!! I recently served a suspension here and gave some serious thought to purposely getting myself banned for life to remove the source of temptation but I just couldn't do it. It's funny bc Ive been in the same occupation for 20 years, married to one woman for 23 years, and overall I'm not a big fan of change. I do some car changes but nothing too rash. When it comes to watches, I throw all of this out of the window and make decisions that make no sense as Ive some exact models two
