Hurry down to Paragon Shopping and view the Super Machines and Horological Heroes exhibition. What is on display is definitely worth a trip.
The exhibition started on 18th Sept and is slated to close on 30th Sept. So hurry down for this once in a lifetime chance to view all the iconic pieces on display.
On top of the brands, what really attracted me was the Independent booth - a collection of Grand Masters works of art - Philippe Dufour, Kari Voutilainen, Vianny Halter, Roger Smith and Laurent Ferrier. Each showcasing their prized pieces - you probably won't be able to get all the watches together in the same place any time soon.
The day started with the grand masters meeting in More Passion for press sessions.
And while they were at it, we got a chance to photograph some of the watches. On hand from Mr. Philippe Dufour are the Simplicity, Duality and the Grande Sonnerie. Featured here is one of his pride and joy - the Grande Sonnerie. Beautifully made and finished and great presence.
A great work of art in itself. Although I have not had the pleasure of hearing the Grande Sonnerie, those who have tells me it sounds acoustically grand.
And the back of the watch showcasing the movement and the hand finished movement. All bridges are hand finished to the highest standards. Philippe said that all parts of the bridges are hand finished regardless whether they can be seen or not. So much for attention to details.
And the Simplicity. No need to say more...
And the movement. Only 200 will be made and they have all been accounted for - the last only being delivered this year (I think). Marvel at the rounded finishing of the movement - can only be done by hand.
And this is the man himself…
And the next day, we went to Rangoon Road for Bak Kut Teh. The man knows what he wants! Stay tuned for more report on the other Grand Masters! Many thanks to the Hour Glass for a wonderful experience and for the arrangements.
