On April the 14th 2007, Marcus Margulies - 'Marcus' as in the upmarket Bond street watch retailer

[IanS]

- was quoted in the FT newspaper's Basleworld/SIHH special section.

The Marcus boutique represents brands inluding Audemars Piguet, Girard Perregaux, Franck Muller, Richard Mille, Greubel Forsey and URWERK. Time Products is the parent company.

Referring to his personal taste in wristwatches, Mr. Margulies was quoted as saying, 'I don't want anything that looks flashy'.

Mr. Margulies is obviously a man that knows watches and knows what he likes; he is also just obviously a man of great taste: six days after that quote appeared in the FT, Mr. Margulies sent the following letter to Felix Baumgartner.



I think that there may be a few here that might agree with him!

Definitely a watch to rival the infamous Opus V

Simply a gorgeous piece, still leaves me speachless in this form!

Yes the black coat makes it more understated - the best looking of all the Hammerheads!
