Watches: Make Mine Small One
An article in the Daily Telegraph on watch sizes.
Watches: make mine a small one
How big (business)men have small watches... they don't wear socks either. Bye-bye panerai :)
That is if you believe the sentiment expressed...
It starts like this...

Big men wearing small watches can be a truly manly style statement in business – and a quiet status symbol. This was underlined for me recently when meeting some formidable businessmen who have made a serious impact on their industries. Apart from savvy, taste and calm confidence, there’s something distinguished about their style: small, understated wristwatches.Watch size got completely out of proportion to business attire in line with the economic boom. Post-recession, however, massive watches suddenly looked as incongruous and as brash as 4x4s trekking across the slow traffic plains of the Brompton Cross/ Sloane Square delta. I’m not suggesting we all eBay our Panerais – it’s just a question of a time and a place. And business is where it’s perhaps best to exhibit a certain mutedness.....

Watch Crime: Florida-Crooks Take Off with High-End Watches
Florida, USA -- A report says a pair of thieves broke into a business over the
weekend and made off with thousands of dollars worth of high-end goods, including luxury watches.
The business sells high-end purses and watches. Police said the store was targeted over the weekend, and it wasn't the first time. "This is the second time they hit the store, and we have always had surveillance video for this store, but unfortunately no one has come forward and identified these subjects. That is what we need the public to do at this time," said a Police detective.
The crime, which was caught on the surveillance video, shows the thieves approaching the business' rear door. Once up and close, they realize there is a camera, and they quickly adjust it. However, when they move the camera, you then see a clear view of the thieves' vehicle, which appears to be a silver Range Rover. "They move the camera, but when they move the camera they show their car, they show their faces," said the store owner, who did not want to give his name.
Police said the thieves were in the store for about a minute in a half but were still able to fill box after box with thousands of dollars worth of luxury goods.
The store owner hopes someone out in the community recognizes the crooks.

Watch Crime: Hundreds of Luxury Watches Stolen from Hong Kong Store
AFP: Masked men stole around 240 luxury watches worth a reported $1.29
million from a Hong Kong store in a matter of minutes early on Friday,
police said.
The three burglars, who were also wearing hats, snatched the watches
after they used a hammer to smash the glass door of the ground floor
shop at around 6:30 am local time.
Watch shop robberies are rare in the southern Chinese city of seven
million people, where only one such incident was recorded last year
among a total of around 76,000 reported crimes.
"We believe they were experienced because the incident took place
within around three minutes," police chief inspector Ma Kai-keung told
reporters. Police have not made any arrests but are looking into it.
The watches were reported by the South China Morning Post to be worth around HK$10 million ($1.29 million).
Footage from Cable Television News showed heavily damaged glass
display tables and a metal hammer at the shop, which was littered with
glass fragments.
The trio made their escape after they boarded a grey van parked around the corner of the store, Cable TV reported.
