plastic is fantastic
I really like the idea of "mise en abyme" ! an (very) expensive steel watch reinterpreted as a (affordable) plastic gadget! It takes a lot of self-deprecation to do it (and marketing sense indeed). However, would I be a buyer? Clearly not, but I'm certain it will bring happiness to many
