Got the time on you cock?

For £20k, it's remarkably restrained. Just looks like a fairly decent man's watch to me.

Anyway why is this news? How many people here have spent £20k more than they needed to to get an Audi/BMW instead of a perfectly adequate Ford/Toyota? How many here could afford a £20k watch if they wanted one? I should think quite a few... Prawn could buy us all watches if he wanted

Perfectly adequate. I have a similar Timex one.

Thanks for the link. I'll send it to my daughter and encourage her to abandon a physics career, and take a job as a watchmaker's apprentice.

How did he afford that on his MPs salary? Wonder what his expenses bill and register of interests entries say....

Maybe he bought a house 15 years ago and sold it 5 years ago, making £100k. Hardly unusual or sinister.

If a £20k watch takes over a year to make, that's not a great profit. I don't understand why it takes so long though, or how many watches someone can make in parallel over that year.
