Isn’t that the so-called watch expert they used to wheel out?

Let’s hope she knows more about sunglasses than she did about watches. Same old rogues gallery then.

She ain't no watch expert, Jewelry/gems she specialised. She did a year way back as area sales for the likes of the Fossil Group but obvious she learned nothing. Some of the garbage she spouted during watch show was unreal, her liking a cheap Chinese submariner homage as similar in quality and worth with high end luxury Swiss watch brand that she wasn't allowed to name was her usual fair.

As for Peter V, who was frequently introduced as a Tech expert, is nothing but a shyster, not only is he pig ignorant in technology matters, his demo with the ceramic heaters is one of the most deceitful & misleading demos on IW. Peter's suitcase demo, for what a Phone would replace on your hols, was the most idiotic demo on IW ever.

Neither of these two should be allowed near a shopping channel after their deceitful behaviour during IW shows.

But they will be high precision, top quality, diver's sunglasses tested to ISO 6425

Oh i see Ruby Rocks do watches as well, more high quality made in China watches.

I just realised i'll miss the launch on Thursday We've a Europa League playoff match at 6pm on Thursday.

Know what you mean, but as Ruby Rocks do more than just sunglasses their shows in the coming months may be extended to include Jewelry/watches.

Not long to wait before the comedy on IW2 starts,and all those products you love so much,presented by the gormless four.
I wonder if the rattan sale is over yet,if not and it makes an appearance expect fireworks from disgruntled former customers

Don't expect too much, certainly initially.

According to the Programme Guide, it's mainly RDM Drones for a couple of split hours, interspersed with Ruby Rocks Collagen (???) and a few "An hour of Hochanda Crafting" slots. And Friday has Piranha kitchen gadgets.

Where do they get there RRP of over £600 pounds from

If you go to http://gamages.london they'll be happy to take your £600+ cash for a Chinese made watch you can buy on AliExpress for about £30...

The TJC price of £80+ quid is at least proportionate, with cost plus import costs, middleman, profit taking, marketing, etc.!

And Mat Trim and Dexter Leningrad.

Wtf now? Dexter Leningrad? Made up name, surely?
And Mat Trim not much better.
Sounds like something out of a Reeves & Mortimer sketch!!!!

Yes, as I posted earlier:

Or the ceramic heaters shows, where Voldemoort would use the temperature gun. One of my peeves, when the temp rises a few minutes after power turned off. Ceramic stores the heat, releases a bit later. It's not FREE ENERGY! You still paid for the electricity to go in earlier. At peak rate. It just released it a couple of minutes later. No more efficient, no saving compared to a heater. Still costs the same to heat a room by 1degree, just depends on the efficiency of the heater converting electricity to heat output and the air interface!!!!

Did make me wonder if PV had any scientific understanding whatsoever.

Presumably he never came up with the demo, but it was suggested by the manufacturers who understood the heat storage properties of ceramics.

Ahem... £45,000:

Television: the forgotten watch retailer

Between physical watch retailers and online ordering lies the often ignored market of shopping channels

Er.. actually Dexter Moscow..Though still sounds like the Spy Character from Whizzer and Chips. Mat Trim is real, or was at some point..

Oh he definitely doesn't have any scientific understanding, if he did he wouldn't have come out with the "defys logic" statement for the temperature rise after switching off, that alone shows how ignorant he is about what is taking place during the demo. On the other hand, if he does understand the science behind the results he's showing, then that makes him an even bigger shyster.

I highly doubt the manufacturer would suggest that demo, probable thought up by someone behind the scenes at IW or one of the dodgy distributors of Chinese ceramic heaters to retailers like IW.

That demo is all about timing, change the timing and you get different results. You can run the same experiment/demo with oil filled radiators or Gas central heating (timing needs to alter for the slower radiator heat up time), but using the appropriate times for each heating system, you can switch on, run for a certain length of time, switch off and the heat from the radiator will continue to rise for a period of time just like the ceramic demo.

The one thing, which is more likely to be from the manufacturer, they used to show in the early days of the demo was a a set of 6 thermal images taken over a 60 minute period, 3 images showing the radiator heating up for 30 minutes and then switching off, then 3 images showing the heat emmitted for the next 30 minutes. Think they dropped that because, the info on the images, showed the drop in temp after switch off was more dramatic than their misleading demo/sales pitch was alluding too.

I thought out of all the emotional blackmail type demonstrations they did, that one was one of the most duplicitous and scaremongering by design. Trying to tick every fear factor box and every pulling at the heartstrings instinct in relatives of the elderly - ‘My Old Mum Feels The Cold…My Dear Old Grannie Looks Like a Block of Ice…The weather forecast for next week is for a return to The Ice Age…etc… Interestingly, this ‘free energy’ option never appeared to be taken up by the presenters themselves? Least, I never heard one say they owned a ceramic radiator? I wonder, though, if Professor van Heetersgornetitzup…took a consignment for each room in his house? With him being so committed on-air to the concept of free energy?

Sorry the worst ever presentation was Sally Jacks with her toilet rolls during covid,unforgivable and definitely playing on the fears of people during panic buying.
Yes people were stupid during early covid,and were stripping the supermarket shelves clean.
That presentation was the low point of Ideal World making profits from panic buying.

I don’t think it will play out as the schedule is currently saying, maybe they already have issues, attracting brands.

Yeah they all had central heating of some sorts and thankfully for the shows, every winter Peter, Mike and others had to call in expensive heating engineers to fix their systems, every year, without fail, in the lead up to winter their heating would fail.
Seem to remember Knowles mentioning buying one for his conservatory, could be wrong though, but certainly not for his whole house, a couple of times hes mentioned he had under floor heating.

That must be the Torchy one? The one who used to fondle soft toys next to another man with a mouldable head, holding a large foam elephant by a large bed, Not the car crash watch show one from Bargain Hunt.

I was also wondering and worrying about the Ideal World horse? I hope it has now found other, more dignified work and didn’t end up in a tin? I always wonder just how many sales they made from those equestrian shows? I could just see their former customer base on horseback.
