The "lighthouse watch" Mon, 04 March 2013 19:33 Go to previous message

It was an honour to meet this fellow at SIHH:

...and to collect from him a watch which has been named after (of all things...) a lighthouse - the 'An Tuskar' lighthouse in SE Ireland -

The watch, of course, was the McGonigle Tuscar 'One of Ten':

And here with its sibling prototype -

It's a privilege to be wearing this multicultural reference - thanks John and Stephen!


Cheers,
pplater.
