Only on the first of the month
By Julien Moreau, Geneva ยท
A reader once asked whether a man of my age could wear a frog. Yes, I said, but only on the first of the month.
That is the joke. The Kermit edition is the titanium ProPilot X with a green dial and a date wheel that shows a small Kermit instead of the numeral 1. Everything else is as before: 39 mm by 12 mm, the Calibre 400 with 120 hours behind an open back, 100 m, a titanium bracelet. It costs eighty-one to eighty-three hundred dollars, a few hundred more than the plain version, which is a fair price for a sense of humour. Collectors of the serious sort will sniff. Tant pis for them; it is a good watch with a smile in it, once a month.
