Three great value-for-money watches
A standout is Hong Kong brand Maven’s minimalist watch Smoke Green, priced at just HK$1,312
OK, we need to talk about the Transformers film series. Well, we don’t really need to but we should. I went to see the fifth film, The Last Knight, purely because Anthony Hopkins was in it and it had dragons (robot dragons, come on!). Alas, the latest instalment was consistent with what has gone before and no amount of Hopkins acting his little heart out was going to save it. The early box-office figures, finally, have collapsed for the franchise, so this could be the end.
Now here is where I attempt to make an incredibly tenuous pivot to watches, so brace yourself. Transformers 5 taught me three things: first, if you don’t take your audience/customers seriously they will eventually lose interest; second, spending hundreds of millions of dollars does not guarantee quality, if anything quite the opposite at the moment; third, robot dragons are not as distracting as they seem in the abstract.
