any BANG interest..???

wow, it must have been quite awhile since i wrote about watches.... maybe the passion has been diluted or perhaps i was taking a break ...... and if you didnt know, right now is the SIHH season: where many manufactures launch new products..... many are technological breakthroughs or aesthetically interesting but not this one....

so there is the new alinghi KING POWER watch from hublot since AP and alinghi broke up.... and i find it BORINGGGGGGGGG as usual and the alinghi logo looks tacky at best.....

if you have yet to see any hublot king power watches, u should.... cos they are much much BIGGER than you can imagine... and still BIG in the bore factor....

downtown browsing

it began to rain heavily so i cant park at my usual place..... to add to the insult, my usual place was FULL.... totally FULL as in not even 1 inch of space for me to squeeze in the butt...... anyway i dun mind paying a little more to stay dry....

itching to see the pam 312, i dropped by hour glass tang plaza....

and yes they do have 1 piece which was already reserved..... i was told the next is mine if i pay a deposit...... price? at $9850....... also managed to touch/feel/see the pam 270 but as you know, this one is 2.5 times more expensive in terms of list prices......

thinking that i love big watches, the salesperson showed me the latest hublot big bang classic in ceramic (500 pcs LE) and zirconium (regular production)....

nowadays i am not much of a hublot fan but the ceramic case is very well done: the sides of the watch case is polished until it is mirror smooth and it looked flawless under the light ..... since the case is in ceramic, i am sure the finish will be durable......

absolutely....

yes this is an absolutely hideous timepiece........

*SMACK*......

*OUCH*.....

*PUKE*.....

fortunately for the rest of the world, there is only ONE piece.....

red or yellow.......... hublot

by now, one of the originators of the unoriginal, has again launched another colourful rendition of their current icon of timepieces........

yes this is another edition dedicated to the great senna............

yellow bcos he's brazilian? i guess so....

looks ok though but again, far from original......

can anyone tell me how many limited editions are there for the hublot BB..........???

pardon me, it's just my morning rant............

devilssssssssssss

when i first heard that hublot was tying up with manchester united to produce a limited run of big bang watches, my first reaction was GOSH......

are hublot and AP trying to outdo each other with the number of limited edition watches they can come up with.....????

and the iterations are becoming less and less original.......... it's as simple as plastering a logo on the dial........

i wonder why didnt they put alex ferguson's face on the dial...... oh sorry it should be SIR alex ferguson......... but then how could someone bestowed with a knighthood show so much disrespect to referees and the laws of the game..............

having his face on the dial haha, that would really make a statement ....

seriously i have lost count of the number of LE for hublot........ be it for yacht clubs, football clubs, drivers and so on.....

valentine's...... valentine's

it may only january but some have big plans.....

so if you have big plans for february the 14th, why not consider this new release from hublot....... the big bang valentine's day edition in 41 mm presented in a fusion of red gold and red rubber....

the gold bezel, set with diamonds, is destined to light up many a lady's eyes....... while the white dial with red gold hands and hour markers is another nice touch to give the watch a contrasting feel....

not forgetting to make the fusion complete, the crown and chronograph pushers are also topped with red rubber..... from the side, red rubber seems to flow continuously from the strap through the heart of the watch case.....

something to behold for valentine's day but what else should you wear for the rest of the year????

been busy............

yeah yeah..... been slow on updates cos i was kinda busy these 2 days...........

went to play football in the evening today............ now so tired....... here ache there ache........ haha cos have not been having regular exercise for much too long......... well after that i really need 100 plus....... a nice cold drink.......

a nice shower is also just the perfect thing to have............... or how about a soak in the bath-tub.....

yesterday went to see watches again............... a few gems we fondled at the store.....

rolex dj turn-o-graph 116264............ ss watch with white gold bezel..

rolex dj tog 116261......... tt watch in everose gold

hublot big bang 41.5 mm in black ceramic case and bezel.......... it's kinda nice but just a little on the side of small..... once u have seen a 44 mm big bang, u cant take the smaller one...

the highlight of the day was the chance to see, touch, feel and try on the 2 AP watches.......

AP team alinghi in forged carbon ........ list price S$39,900........

AP team alinghi in rose gold and forged carbon ....... list price S$83,900
