The Diamonds Aren't Necessary At All...

Jan 28, 2015,00:06 AM
 

The diamonds aren't necessary at all.  In fact, I think the watch would look better without diamonds and with an engraving motif that would be suitable with everything else.  


The funny thing is that when you see the actual watch, you hardly notice the diamonds are there.  

I really like the dial as well, it looks opal-like in person.

It's amazing what these cars could do back nearly 100 years ago! Speeds that would still be considered fast even today. I really like your photo of the Type 50S. What's your favorite Bugatti vehicle (any year)? What's your favorite Parmigiani Fleurier Tim...

Very nice!

Excellent taste. The car probably isn't attainable by someone like me (I might not even be able to afford to insure it, much less own it), so I'm regaled to the sidelines on the car. But the watch is something that I can genuinely appreciate and I've actu... 

That is a crazy watch! Like you, I prefer the white metal one, but were diamonds necessary

??? I always liked the concept behind this Watch, the link with Bugatti... I am not mad about links between cars and watches, but when they are thought this way, I love! The strap is another good idea. Bravo PF! Once again, the big regret I have is the pr...

Nice pic of you two. That Bugatti logo is nearly 100 years old. Surprisingly it still looks very modern today.

They are interesting belts.

I have a big problem with BELTS. I constantly get chastised for having a "Honda" belt. The problem is this... There aren't many other good alternative belts. I've seen a couple PuristS with Roland Iten belts. And I personally do find them elegant and imme...
