When I was under the legal driving age, Alfa Romeo introduced the 156. An important car for them, since they changed their box-designs into far more sensual curved shapes. It was quite a stunning and unexpected car. Perhaps the one that started the now so popular “we look like a coupe but still have four […]

For me, I am at a stage of severe infatuation with subseconds at 6 time only watches. So naturally, I will show partiality to watches in this category. Apart from that, I like the notion of watches being down sized which I assume is the dream of classic loving thin-wristed men, like myself, of the asianRead More
