Does anyone know what make and model the watch in the attached photo is?? It was worn by George Clooney in the movie Intolerable Cruelty.

Many thanks

Don't know what the heck Barenia is?

Well, my dear, you should visit the Purse Blog more often! B-)

Barenia is made from calf, but not just any calf: you need a French veal, and more specifically, a "veau sous la mère", e.g., a cow-fed calf...

More info here.

Just imagine that: "OK, kid! (dark sense of humour here...) That's your last snack! Chow down & say goodbye to mom. We need some mo' watch bands for next week!" :-D

I'm sure you're as thrilled as I am...

...probably less expensive than the watch...

...but I prefer the bike!

(...well informed? YOU are!) :-!
