After admiring the innovative and chic home accessories at the lifestyle shop on the 2nd floor of Ngee Ann City, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read about the CEO who spent US$2,200 on a wastepaper basket that didn’t do anything extraordinary.
However I do have my eyes on a very intriguing timepiece, the Tissot T-Touch. It has an in-built alarm, thermometer, barometer, compass, altimeter and stopwatch. Which doesn’t sound very different from my old Casio ATC1110 – except that you touch its face to activate a feature, and the dial slides to where your finger is. It also has a classier stainless steel finishing… at a quarter of the aforementioned wastebasket’s price. Hmm…
