Got time for more Singer?
 
So it looks like Singer is expanding their influence to another of my favourite things: the wrist watch. This is kinda pretty and I'd probably wear it, but it'll likely be priced to make a Seamaster look inexpensive. Which in my mind seems silly as there are lots of attractive, historically significant vintage watches out there for not crazy money. The Singer name on a watch just doesn't seem right to me.

Are they grabbing an old watch and reinventing it?

People will think it's made by the sewing machine company singer.

If you can afford the car you can afford the watch. "Singer" saw a market segment that was not being addressed by Porsche and went for it.
I envy his good judgment.
