Special: Keeping pace with the times

Hi people,

There's going to be a special supplement on watches, in tomorrow's Straits Times. You may wish to use this thread for any relevant discussion.

Cheers!

There's an introductory piece by Su Jiaxian in today's papers, Home B8 (ST). Entitled "Times they are a-changin'", it describes how high-end Swiss watch makers are going into cyberspace and supporting the green movement to keep on ticking.

Happy reading.
