Are you absolutely sure she didn't mean.....

You do have a valid point here. I can imagine - thirty of forty years down the line - there will be timepieces coming on to the market which will have been owned by superstars of today and personalised with such messages as 'To Kanye. Happy Birthday. Love Kim'. I would imagine that these will...

I'm sorry, but I must disagree. Many of the presenters who have offered these masterpieces of horology to the discerning buyer have intimated that they are solid financial investments! I mean the collector is off to a running start as far as their investment is concerned simply because of the...

A short while ago Shaun mentioned that the watch he was selling (I forget the model name - the one with the enamel embellishments and opening back) could be engraved on to personalise. Now, thirty or forty years down the line, after the owner has died, and their children roll up at the...

He may have meant you wear it like a mask? If so it would also protect you if you tripped and fell on your face.

You'd have to make special provision for this on your home contents insurance.

A little faux pas during the latest luxury watch show. The presenter Shaun asked 'where are these made'. There was no reply from the guest expert. Possibly as the result of a word in his earpiece, Shaun was quick to cover - 'the movements I mean'...........

It was a brilliant slice of Peter P at his 'best'. I was too busy laughing to be able to repeat verbatim. It went something along the lines of 'in the long history of coffee making - this machine is just exquisite - look at the design - the brushed aluminium is a masterpiece of brushed...

Did anyone else hear Peter's description of the coffee machine?! It was comedy gold! (Of course, he included 'exquisite' in his diatribe.) Had I been holding a cup of coffee I'd have spilled it down my front in shock!

Personally, I'd be too scared to wear any of these masterpieces of horology for the simple fact that, among all the admiring/envious stares, they would most likely draw the wrong type of attention. I wouldn't want to find myself getting mugged for any of these exquisite timepieces. It's for that...

One thing about a mop and bucket; you never have to worry about them running out of charge!

Imagine the spiel if IW sold a moped? "You need to forget the strain of pushbiking. Even with ebikes you have to put some effort in. Not to mention the limited range, speed and all the faffing with charging. No, if you really are serious about personal transport, you need the Yamsuki 50. Just...

In the opening seconds of the spiel: (not a direct quote) 'our people are working from home, there may have been mistakes with the pricing.' I'm no horology expert, so I never knew there were so many premium brands to choose from.

Peter on S&E 'collectable timepieces'. Within ten seconds of tuning in he's mentioned Basel, in the same breath he said 'symomonous'! (I think he meant synonymous.)

My thoughts exactly.

Amongst other things, Orson Wells explained that these collectables are backed with a 'lifetime guarantee'. Could someone please explain who issues that guarantee?

Dear old Peter should consider investing in a book of synonyms. I've lost count how many times I've heard him describe the various masterpieces of horology as sold on IW as 'exquisite', but tonight he was describing the electric bike in the same gushing terms.

WOW! £23k?! Did they sell it? I did catch a sliver of the show (they were selling a signed Ali glove) but changed channels when I saw who was presenting. I should perhaps give the bloke a chance, but I just cannot bring myself to watch him.

Rob Locke - I can't speak about what he does or doesn't do while on air because I always turn over when he come on.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't seen any of the presenters wearing any of the 'masterpieces of horology' they prize so highly. It could be of course that they own them but don't wish to wear such magnificent timepieces to work (understandable) or that their watch insurance only covers for...
