Watches in the News

Interesting article: http://www.businessinsider.com/tom-perkins-watch-2014-1

It's about Tom Perkins and some comments about Rolex watches. It also dives into his Richard Mille.

Not sure I've seen horology receive so much detailed coverage in the general press.

That would give you a six pack of platinum day-dates, but you could clean up on the steel models for the price of that richard mille

The New York Times got into a״ discussion of Rolex watches, and why does any man need a Rolex watch, and it's a symbol of terrible values, etc., etc.

So much negativity over a watch..
