The strap is made of crocodile, so you know it's good. The minute and hour hands are made out of the whiskers of snow-leopards, and the mechanism itself is powered by the teardrops of baby pandas. This all makes for good timekeeping.
So why not 5 stars? Mainly, it's the image on the face of the watch. It appears to be of a circus; you have the usual circus sights of dancing bears, clowns, ballerinas and a guy hitting a tiger with a stick, but there is no tight-rope walker. This is a glaring ommission.
In these challenging financial times, you could be forgiven for thinking it foolhardy to spend 300K on a watch, but if you are in need of a quality timepiece displaying a circus scene (and you can forgive the lack of tight rope walker) then you could do alot worse.
Also arrived in good 'time' - thanks Amazon!
