The many drawbacks of watches and why they make us love them even more

FRIDAY WIND DOWN: Being ‘in the hangar’ with Oris and Wings of Hope really drove home the importance of their work
This week I once again spent more time away and in airports. Normally on a press trip I travel for the launch or preview of a watch.
