Do You Have $300,000 Handy? Then This Watch Is For You!
Sotheby's will put one of the most important double-dialed pocket watches ever manufactured onto the auction block at its "Important Watches and Wristwatches" sale May 16 in Geneva.
The George Thompson pocket watch by Patek Philippe is a minute-repeating pocket watch made for Thompson in 1914. The piece features two dials displaying perpetual calendar, moon phases and split seconds chronograph with register. The timepiece is expected to fetch $300,000 to $450,000 when the gavel falls.
Only $300,000-450,000!
"Complicated double-dialed watches by Patek Philippe are exceptionally rare and little more than a handful are known," Alexander Barter, head of Sotheby's Geneva watch department, said in a release issued Friday. "The George Thompson watch, which remains in outstanding condition, retains its original wooden fitted presentation case and certificate and is offered by the direct descendants of George Thompson, an Anglo-American press editor who made his career in the United States. We are delighted to be offering for sale this historic and important watch, 92 years after its original creation."

For what its worth, the layout is definitely amazing. You know how to balance writing and images/videos. Nevertheless, I cant get over how small you in fact bring to light here. I think that everyones said the same thing that youve said over and over again. Dont you believe its time for something much more?

The beauty of these blogging engines and CMS platforms will be the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that allows developers to implement rich content and 'skin' the website in such a way that with quite little effort one would in no way notice what it's generating the website tick all with out limiting content and effectiveness.
