If money was no object what classic item would you buy

[Cantspeakwontspeak]

Max Mara teddy coat or Chanel classic bag in black for me ..

Series 1 Land Rover

Oh shit sorry - this is S&B!!! 😂 😂
still stands tbh.

Omega Speedmaster and an IWC Portugieser with a tourbillon.

A Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso watch

One each of every Hermes fragrance except Twilly.

A Cartier Love bangle.

I'm not into designer items but I would love a pair of made to measure knee high boots. I have wide feet, a high instep, narrow heels and muscular calves.

Sounds rude. Could you expand a bit ?

Mini.

…and they are horrible to drive, as are many classic cars.

That’s not been my experience. I’ve driven a lot of classic cars and most have been an absolute pleasure to drive.

What a great & individual list ...!!!

i love brutalist & 1970s jewellery, so thanks for this name. Just had a look & there are some gorgeous pieces out there! Way beyond what I could afford - but it's been lovely to look!!!

That trio of watches - who says you can only wear one watch at a time ...?!!!

John Donald was another British jeweller working in the same time period as Grima, and is probably a bit more affordable?

I actually have a nice watch, a Mont Blanc with mother of pearl and 10 diamonds and a pale pink alligator strap. Unfortunately, it is stainless steel and I only wear gold so have never worn it. It seems such a waste but it's just not me.

A MaxMara camel cashmere coat and also the means to keep it pristine

A vintage tiara just for the fun of it.

Something like this to wear more regularly.

Really, ALL the vintage and vintage inspired jewelry I could get my hand on.

Platinum Art Deco Cocktail Ring - Michael Levin Jewellers

I have an Omega Constellation with diamonds round the bezel but never wear it! I'd like a Cartier Tank too - perhaps I could swap!

I also have a diamond tennis bracelet and never wear that either - must dig it out.,

Two Loewe puzzle bags: one black, one taupe
A diamond tennis bracelet

A Chanel 2.55
A Cartier Santos in stainless steel, medium size
Maria Tash diamond jewellery for my ear piercings, and a few extra piercings for good measure
An antique gold starburst 'gypsy' ring for one hand and a bespoke Cece Jewellery enamelled signet for the other.

Trip on the orient express or long and luxurious weekend to Burgh island with no expense spared. Gorgeous.
Dh bought me a Cartier tank as it’s something I’ve always fancied but warned him I can’t take care of it like he takes care of his watches. Needless to say I scratched it on its face putting out the washing 😱It’s lovely but the jewel on the side isn’t a real sapphire. Who knew? I didn’t 😝

It depends on the model. Some have real sapphire cabochons on the crown, others have a synthetic spinel.

I'm surprised that you managed to scratch the glass. Sapphire crystal is quite hard to scratch. I had not had my Ballon Bleu long when I tripped and fell into a metal bracket on a wall, knocking my watch hard. The stainless steel case dented slightly but the crystal survived!

Oh! I adore Cece Jewellery & lust after a triptych necklace!!

I'd give up all (well most) the nice stuff I have if I could be happy

It’s not the glass that’s scratched, it’s the outer edge of the metal case. I was a bit gutted and annoyed at myself to be honest.
