Ordered this from a small Scottish brand, made in a limited edition of 150. http://www.instrmnt.co.uk/01-mnk Thats a bit more like it..... what do you design?

Anything to do with spirits at the moment, print, strategy, events, packaging interiors etc. Clients that I've worked with include Glenfiddich, Bacardi, Bombay Sapphire, Grey Goose, The Savoy etc etc...

I'd imagine it would be hard to design for these without trying lots of the product first, purely for research purposes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Mills Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 As promised. Spent the entire first day staring at it, spent the entire second day at work wishing I could be wearing it, got home and put it on and eventually prised the thing off my wrist at just gone 1am after staring at it. Proceeded to stare at it before putting it in its box and staring at it. I then fell asleep and dreamt of it. Woke up this morning, stared at it and now I'm staring at pictures of it... No need to say I'm in love. Pearl Ram, Cisse, Shang and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it for £1648 which was 20% off the RRP so happy with that. Pretty sure that I could easily get my money back if I were to sell it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I could win the lottery and struggle to hand over £1600 for a watch without crying Chris Mills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As SY just said, for me it means more than to you but also even more than what he said! I could have spent the money travelling Europe for a few weeks maybe or put it safely away for a rainy day, but instead I have bought something that I can enjoy for the rest of my life and hopefully hand down the generations, telling its own stories and maybe even further generations could make more with it (although it's more likely they will say, ew that's an old mans watch and sell it in several decades time) unlike let's say a new car which people would think was better value for money than the watch but at the end of the day would become a "oh yeah I once had a...". I fully expect to spend several times that amount keeping it serviced etc. so the price I bought it for will probably be a fraction of the total cost! froggg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you service that watch say every 8-10 years it will last for next 500 years. Longines isn't that expensive to service actually so just enjoy your new baby.
