Didn't have a chance to go tempus today, maybe saturday ba.
But last night, a friend brought me to a function at the Richard Mille boutique. The event showcased RM's Planetarium. Don't ask me to explain whats that. I can only say that its a $4million (minimum bid) table clock.

think being rich is more thing. being on the invite list is better *IMHO*

[bEnd1ck]

It was really a rich man's event. Abit out of place for me at first.
Luckily, the sales persons were very nice and friendly (not snobbish at all). No reservations about taking out >$100,000k watches to let me play around. Even though my dressing and my face, one look you'll know that i cannot afford such watches.

Hi guys, for those who have not visit should try to check out what Michael tay of H.G has arranged including MOCHA which is beside the Tempus Fair. I do appreciate every exhibitor's effort for putting a pleasant affair with several workshops. I was with my gd old pal at the Tempus and he is with his Leica camera so ppl see liao will just ask him:” R u from the media???” “Hmmm… yes, I’m from my own Media Company.” Ha ha ...looking somewhere. Next fellow is a French exhibitor with his French essence,:” Hi mister, would u be interested to see our new timepiece collezioni from Paneraii?” or “Here’ my name card and our catalog for your reference.” Hee hee… interesting experience unlike few yrs back when I go to the 2004 Tempus fair on the last day. Everyone including the independent watch makers seem so exhausted on the last day. My Guess is most of the exhibitors have been repeating the same conversation every hr for 5days minimum.

Workshop is fun even thought I had to struggle out of my bed for the workshop starts at 9a.m as I reached home at 3.am after a drinking seesion. Well if u like Mechanical stuff ,You should try visiting the workshop and if u do like to be in the limelight with beautiful timepiece(seeing it real) with pretty sales consultants, try the Tempus fair. Remember Time is not always on our side… …


Cheers everyone
