Unai's statement watch - is it a Panerai? I can't get a decent look.

What in God's name is 'a statement watch'? Have you been reading old copies of GQ while you wait to get your hair cut again?

We've had whole pages on them before - I'm still not entirely sure what it means

Gosh no. I just meant that it's a huge fúcker and obviously meant to be obvious. Watches are becoming much bigger, of course. My Breitlings are both 42mm, but the smallest they make now is 48 and most are up in the 50s. I can't carry such bulky timepieces since I have the wrists of a ballerina.

I have to admit I find such monsters rather ugly and silly-looking. When did we decide that a bulky watch was a good idea?

I suspect that the bulking iup happened when watchmakers began to chase the emergence of money amongst vulgarians. The Yanqui 100 years ago, then the Arab, then the Russians and the Chinese. These people, who like to holiday in Dubai, are interested only in show, not quality.

Personally, as you know, I prefer a Breguet Repeater on a discreet silver chain.

I have my father's pocket watch, which my mother bought for him in the mid-70s. It is a Jaeger Lecoultre, suggesting to me that the business must have had a very good year

Unfortunately, it is very 1970s indeed. Extremely 1970s.

Blame Flavor Flav, imo.
