Those were the words of Eberhard chief Mario Peserico when I walked into the booth for my BaselWorld appointment. I wasn't sure what he meant. And then Anais, the PR contact said exactly the same thing...
This was me -
Hard to see owing to the lighting and the dark blue background but I was "nattily" attired in a pair of green floral patterned trousers. That's "Natty" not "Dandy" (which is apparently the domain of Jack Forster of Revolution according the the Paper of Record).
And this was the watch -
This is Eberhard's Contograf Special Edition.
A self-winding, bi-compax chronograph with date at 6 o'clock. Available on a bracelet or NATO Strap.
