Yes it is always nice to be invited to a launch, and its nice to shake the hand of OMEGA President Mr Stephen Urquhart who has himself shook the hand of brand ambassador George Clooney, and to meet the Australian team. The Westfield Bondi Junction launch last Thursday was an early morning breakfast affair with all hands as shiny and helpful as the hands on an OMEGA watch. I had quite a long and informative discussion with Shannon from Australian head office about the merits of the OMEGA watches above and beyond status timepieces; which was refreshing as you realise OMEGA have a massive investment not only in the manufacture and selling of watches but a massive investment in their people too; its all about quality all the way, which everyone understands - I was even complimented on my Fujifilm X-Pro1 camera! Of course everyone wants to know which watch is your favourite; I settled on the Speedmaster - Spacemaster Z-33 which I re-christened the 'Funkmeister' when I posted a shot on my Instagram. Great watches, great staff, now I just need to set aside the money..
