Horological Meandering

Hi All, Singapore is like watch heaven for me. Singapore and Hong Kong are the closest major watch hubs that I can reach and were the first places I experienced true haute horlogerie, so both have a special place in my heart. On this occasion we visited M...  

and great pics. as usual from you.The antigua looks great on your wrist.5 years watch celibacy huh ?.I can sense it would be your next grail piece, arriving sooner rather than later.

Imagine a tax deductable trip AND coming back with another tourbillon- that LF is to die for!! Julian

Hope I can join something like this one weekend!! Just 7-hour flight.... HK would be closer, though (4 hours).... Ken

Love the Ludovic... Can't wait to visit Singapore and Hong Kong to check out these impressive watch shops. They are truly unique watch stores that I don't think I've ever seen resembled anywhere else in the world.

I was probably in town last couple of weeks.

I was totally tied up and at work...had to miss that! Apologies!

It would have been fun in SG. You introduced me to Vianney at TEMPUS2 which I always appreciated. See you and Dolly in Vegas, and next time in SG. Regards Andrew

Looks like you had quite a time in the boutiques. Those Vianney Halters are very impressive. And at the other end of the design spectrum, I also like that VC ultrathin. Certainly beats the local shopping options… grumio

I love that watch...sadly, it can only be a dream. Maybe if I won Singapore Sweepstakes? Hm...

with the Journe tourbillons and the Antiqua next to each other. Great report. I am repeating myself but Singapore must be the promised land. Best Andreas

Another great travel report, Andrew! Thank you, now Singapore is a MUST visit one day place for me! Best Blomman

And I'm glad to see Vianney's watches ! Fr.Xavier

.. have aged very well. Classical but modern with interesting lines and case shapes. They just get better and better over time. Andrew

......*sighs* as I live vicariously. The Antiqua (for the steampunk streak in me), the Upside Down and the Breguet for me please...oh and I wouldn't mind your watches, heh.

Thanks for the kind words, aptronym. I didn't know you were a steampunk fan! Although there have been a few, here are a couple of steampunk threads that should not be missed. I post the links in case you did! Steampunk . Watches as machines . Regards Andr... 

i think all the watch shops here are pretty similar with their line ups.

... yourself lucky to have access to so many brand boutiques as well as specialist authorized dealers. You would not find an independent watch on sale within 1000 Km of me. I agree that it can get repetitive in SG, but it's a problem I would be willing to... 

Great photography Andrew. You really got around! - SJX

Four Boutiques, an informal interview with Laurent Lecamp about his new brand "Klepcys" (report and photos to follow) and dinner all in the space of a few hours. And I consider you one of the kings of watch photography, so I appreciate your kind comments.... 

Thanks for the tour Andrew. Don't be so hard on yourself the pics look great. Beautiful watches, there were more than just one Grail watch in that line up. Thanks for sharing! Cheers SamEE
