Paris, a woman and Carl Bucherer Patravi
Jul 04 2008,02:45 AM

Hmmm...ever wondered if a Carl Bucherer will ever appeal to you?

It would if things fell into place, like having a drink in a small lane in Paris, in June with a very good looking woman, Irin Gan, who looks after Carl Bucherer (in Singapore) ..

 LV of course!

 

No window shopping is complete without lingerie!

Ahhh...

 

Lunch!!!

 

Irin Gan with wine, and a Patravi of steel.

This massive 46.6mm case actually looks good on her wrist..and she has small wrists!

The watch...is impressive, and is a tour de force of revamping Carl Bucherer's image.

Look at her eyes!

Power reserve: 42 h Jewels: 39 Automatic Chronograph GMT Third time zone Date indication

Chronometer COSC

Some balance is always needed when one looks at just TOO many watches!!!

The watch I have just seen is still beautiful!

Look...and there is a surprise later!

Remember Omega's Co Axial?

here too...a window!

 

The watch really has an incredible presence..it can be felt from afar.
 

The streets of Paris..

A goos cafe, a great place to take a picture of a gold Patravi..

 

But first..wine!

 

People...

 

A great table with a chest, that I just had to buy..and ship it to Sinapore!!!

There goes one watch!

 

But wait...this little shop of parts for my marine chronometer collection!

Speaking of huge marine chronometers..the Patravi is a mighty watch, and is so massive..with THREE timezones to boot.

 

Forget the display backs...this is a watch for daily and rough use.

But nevertheless beautiful in a primal way.

 

The window to a little heart!

 

So...Carl Bucherer is credible.

I always believe in looking at a watch, without looking at the brand..hell..where would any of the AHCI be today?

Speaking of which...look at what I saw in my relook at MBF 2!!!!

In the AHCI forum. The Carl F Bucherer, and the MBF 2..all in one day.

Sigh.

And a good looking, sexy woman...and Paris!

I can read your enthusiasm for the Carl Bucherer Patravi in ur writing but no matter how convincing you can be, I find the Patrvai too "busy" to my eyes.  The dial has too much going on IMO - too many lines, curves, and angles - and the case is massive but doesn't really have anything unique which stands out from the all ready crowded large watch segment.  I'm sure it's a great watch but aesthically in my eyes, the Patravi just looks like a conglomeration of random design.

I hope I don't get blasted for posting my opinion

Cheers,
Anthony

Ranked by FHM world as top 250 babes a couple of years ago!

That's actually quite an achievement, because the 256 girls who beat her came from Hollywood and the rest were from the top modeling agencies in NY, Paris and London.

She will be the new face of Carl Bucherer.
