The White Watch

I thought this was an urban myth. The white watch... the new status symbol of posh upper class women. Until I came to Hong Kong...
I first saw this phenomenon on the arm of Sandra Bullock in her latest movie “The Blind Side” where she plays a posh upper class American house wife. I’ve also seen this watch in a few advertisements and magazines, but never seen someone wear it in real life. Until I spent an afternoon in Central Hong Kong. And yes, there it was, flaunting away on the wrist of posh ladies waltzing from shop to shop. I also spotted it in Macau! On the wrists of decadently dressed ladies playing the slots in fancy Casino hotel lobbies.


So it’s true. It does exist, and here is the price if you’re interested:
