He had a phrase to describe that which could not be described in watches - what I sometimes refer to as "unobtainium", for when Francis wanted to hip you to why a certain watch had it, he would take it out of the case, lay it on the counter and proclaim - "And this, this is the Sh__ that killed Elvis!"
Francis, you died far sooner than you should have. You were smart, charming - a raconteur, but a benevolent one. I do not write a post about a watch these days, where I do not take a few moments and seriously consider how you would have described it. So this is for you -
This is the latest from Hautlence - the HLC 06.
41 mm, and limited to 88 pieces.
Enjoy your watches!
