ubiquitous Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I usually find stuff like this to be too busy, but I really think this is an interesting, creative piece; especially the seconds at 3:00. I like it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaljesus Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I love it but im not an impartial commentator. I tend to love everything Monaco. If only there was a good rep i could love -mj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheswick Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I dig it! Allthough, I too am a sucker for Monaco's.. I guess it's too much to ask for a rep of this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Got the email from TH yesterday and I just thought WTF? Truly an abomination. And I don't know which is worse... The Hammer House of Horrors gimmicky "design" that possessed them to use FOUR different types of register (three of which were ripped from the SLR and Grand Carrera series) and cobbled together (using a stock movement) by some visually-impaired chimpanzee? Or the truly cringeworthy (and IMO slightly distasteful) CGI-aided promo film that has that renowned Oscar-winning actor and sometime F1 PR stooge Lewis Hamilton star alongside the late and great Steve McQueen. I mean, they even doctored Steve's famous two-fingered *ahem* salute, presumably based on some insane political correctness impulse - which would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic. I may be a purist who loves the original 'Heuer' Monaco and is on the waiting list for the forthcoming classic c.11 re-edition, but that's not to say I don't appreciate modern "avant-garde" design when it is done well, such as the gorgeous and innovative V4 Monaco now getting on for 6 long years bogged down in production issues. Why not get a move on with that project, Babin, instead of producing god-awful horrors like this LS? Anyway, rant over, I'll just leave it to (an original and non-bastardized) Steve to deliver my overall verdict on this watch.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
