I have been quiet for a little while – alas, due to both ill-health and simply a lack of material. Anyway, whilst I am awaiting a pretty major operation soon, I felt it was time to put pen to paper again. Whilst considering what to do, I went through all …
I mentioned in the earlier Lanvin piece that I had purchased a second watch. Well, it was this one. I was drawn to it as it demonstrated an attractive simplicity – especially for a smallish-cased GMT. It had a good service record and came with all accompaniments. I also felt …
Sorry, but once again I succumbed to a couple of recent purchases from James Kibble. In my defense, I had not bought anything this year, plus, I felt a need to cheer myself up as I have had some irksome health problems this year – including latterly a dose of …
Well, this report will be one of my smaller ones, as there is frankly not much to say about the brand or really the watch. I shall however do my best! Okay, so I was at a fairly local seaside resort in the North East recently and popped into a …

I first had a hankering for a “Pie Pan” dial model some 15 years ago, and eventually bought one a few years later. This was quite by chance when I popped into Fenwicks on Bond Street, and descended to their men’s dept. Whilst there I noticed a few old …
An initial admission! I have never bought a ladies dress watch – let alone two! How come? Well, I simply saw these on my pal James Kibble’s watch site, and my interest was piqued as they were both made of silver – cases and bracelets. I happen to like silver …
Until I came across this watch at James Kibble’s watch shop, I had not seriously considered owning a Bulgari piece. I suppose I had just considered the firm mainly to be a jewellery fashion brand (albeit high end), who back in the day thought that they had better make some …
Whilst recently peering inside cabinets in a jewellery/pawn shop at a coastal resort fairly near me, my eye was caught by a quite striking gold watch. Upon closer inspection I noticed it was a Sekonda, so, summarily dismissed it! A few months later I was in the shop again, and …
