Horological Meandering

What do you think of this article in Hodinkee?

 

That is: whose responsibility (or fault if you will) is it when your expensive private property is violently appropriated from your person?  https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/richard-mille-owner-files-legal-action-against-liberty-media-and-cota-after-dollar750000-watch-stole  I don't mean this as a Richard Mille issue (even though I inserted a picture of the watch in question) but as an issue of personal responsibility vs reasonable assumption.  There are many things in daily life that we assume and rely upon for or safety, commerce, convenience, enjoyment, etc.  Ex: "That driver will understand and obey the line of paint in the road and not collide with my car."  Reasonable assumption?  Other things about which we might exercise caution.  Ex: "I slipped and fell on a patch of ice on a stormy winter day."  Personal responsibility?

The calculation then becomes "which places"? And even at a high security affair eventually you leave the bubble.

Nice bonus headlines for RM. Why didn't RM warn their clients, surely they knew. imho this must be answered as part of the liability in this court case.

RM hospitality suite mlght be a trap, and RM surely may be aware of this. Am sure RM can easily make him another one, maybe that's the best outcome.

The conundrum of RM warning its invitees not to wear their RMs to their hospitality suite.

The problem is that even if you beef up security around the suite, the guests can easily be spotted and followed after they’re away from the secure area. Hublot had a solution for this when they sponsored the World Cup in Brazil: plastic Hublot loaner wat...
