Well, you may well look at this pair of sporting delights from Breguet and say, hang on, haven’t these already been reviewed? Is The Writer losing his mind, or just being cynically lazy? Well, you would be correct with the former question, but not so much the latter! Okay, the …
Having a need to investigate some new watches for a change, I decided to call in at my chums at Berry’s in York. I had in fact pre-warned the manager, Michael, a few days before, and as usual, he was very accommodating. Such visits are only occasional and I do …
