I have to agree with the comments about Omega. I don’t usually monitor prices that closely, but I’ve been doing a lot of window shopping while awaiting the resolution of an inheritance. Omega’s...

Back to basics.

I still don’t see a problem, and might question the way he has been reported. Other sources have reported the same comments quite differently, such as here:

2024 will be “a challenge” for the...

But Dufour is exactly right, and in the context of the interview he hasn’t said anything remarkable or newsworthy. They are talking about the relative values of the Swiss franc and the American...

I had one, and I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if Kronos had (or has) one too. It reminded me of my first Casio, sometime in the early 80s, which I think was this one -

Jesus wept, I saw some pictures of that. I hadn’t really been aware of it before.

I’m not bad at conjuring up lurid fantasises, but I can’t imagine one in which I could go to something like that,...

Out and about at our local jazz club down by the sea. Elaine Delmar, vocally undimmed at 84. Her father was Leslie ‘Jiver’ Hutchinson, one of the first of the Caribbean jazz musicians to reach...

The prettiest battlefield watch I know.

That definitely has the wrong hands.

Plead poverty and wear the Christopher Ward.

But other than that, the date on the Zenith could be handy for signing cheques.

Inimitable and influential - and fun. I didn’t realise he was still around - well, until he wasn’t.

Formex has nailed it with the Essence. It feels like a thoroughbred and expert company to me.

I had one of those - all red. A Christmas present from my wife, bought in Harrods.

On another tack, right now I want one of these -

They’re about the size of a duck’s egg, maybe a shade larger, and I guess they just lie around looking Swedish and enigmatic. Tactile...

What I would do is so different from what you would do that it’s no help at all. ;-)

I would lose the Zenith and the microbrands and buy a Tudor Ranger. Or maybe keep one microbrand to cover dress...

They’re a bit throwaway, in an early evening, untaxing family entertainment kind of way, but I liked the look of Josephine Jobert…

For me, it was one of those things you watch half by accident....

I really can’t imagine that remakes of these would be successful. The ambience and the distinctiveness of the lead actors would be lacking no matter how well it was done. And why would you do a...

I don’t know if people can be doing with subtitles, but ‘Prisoner’ (Danish) was very good. Sofie Gråbøl was excellent in the lead role.

Gråbøl was also the lead in ‘The Killing’ - also Danish....

I can’t remember either… We’re a trusting and convivial community, so it hardly matters how we do it. If someone says they have made a contribution, we know they have.

But looking it up, here’s...

It’s fine on an iPad, which is the only way I access the forum. I wouldn’t think of visiting forums or blogs on a phone - too tiny.

Me neither. I’d be happier paying twice as much for a Zenith. :)

Brake lights or indecisive about turning left or right?

Terrible, anyway.

It’s a fairly recent invader - commercially inspired, to a large degree. It has overshadowed Guy Fawkes / Bonfire Night, unfortunately.
