Simon Cowell's new watch

[Dominic H]

Just notcied that Simon Cowell has swapped the Chopard Mille Miglia chrono for this beauty....



The Master Tourbillon in 18ct rose gold..

[whoami]

An absolute stunner.

I went to pick up a new watch today and one of the other customers had this in platinum.

Absolutely beautiful.

Britains got talent? *shakes head*

Dom, I'll be in touch about ordering some wedding rings, if that's OK?

Whoami, will you be posting any shots of your new Overseas Dual Time? I'm interested to see some close-ups - it's a darn fine watch.

SWMBO just looked over my shoulder whilst looking at this thread. BEAUTIFUL was her expression -- wonder if I can trade in some other watches for that one. Anyone got a IRO price idea -- I'm guessing £20K....

20k and then extra for the tourbillon

I'm crap at taking pictures but I'll give it a go later today.

I saw his watch and thought wow too.

He has good taste in watches, cars and women.

Top Man.

His taste in all three shows he is a show off without great taste!

Taste in watches....well this JLC is nice I admit but if I may be very contoversial, a torbillion is a complication that has little place in a wristwatch, they generally keep worse time than conventional movements, are very expensive to service/setup and with one or two exceptions (Lange I believe) you have to live without a hacking function. It's purely wrist candy. So, 1/0 show off to taste.

In cars...I know he had a Maybach.....this is not good taste is it? 2/0 show off to taste

In women....Terri Seymour was arm candy as opposed to wrist candy. Not exactly Einstein. 3/0 show off to taste.

By all means put me straight....this is meant tongue in cheek

He also has a couple of RR Phantom models, including at least one Drophead, and a Veyron. Amongst sod knows what else.

I'd be quite happy for people to call me a show off with no taste if I had this on my wrist

Anyway, no-one ever purchased a mechanical watch, Tourbillon or otherwise, for accuracy.

Yeah yeah okay I concede on the Greubel Forsey although it's not aethetically pretty is it?
And no, no-one purchased a torbillion (wristwatch at any rate, a different story on pocket watches) for accuracy.
Give me something by George Daniels anyday in preference to a torbillion.

a Valid opinion, fair play to you.

I Like his watch, his veyron and terri is very fit.

beyond that not bothered.

I like a torbillion for visual intrest,but I have a G-shock atomic for accuracy.



Simon cowell is like marmite, you either like him or you don't.

I have never met him or likely am to, so I reserve judgement.

He also has (or had) Lambo Gallardo Spyder, Ferrari 430 spider. SLR Roadster
I've been told by people that he is a real sportscar fan

Looks like his missus told him to do the ironing while she watched what she wanted.....
