··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersThat's interesting. Isn't the observatory pic on the advert the Geneva observatory, rather than the Kew observatory?
Well, I don’t recall there being many craggy mountain tops in Teddington ..... but I guess the folks in Brazil are unlikely to know that

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersI found this add from Omega with yet another splendid if somewhat fraudulent ‘Teddington’ observatory image.
You can see why they did this when you consider that the original place for testing watches in London was the Kings observatory at Kew
(A bit old fashioned looking)
And the subsequent watch testing facility at Teddington (the national physical laboratory) doesn’t look right at all for marketing as an observatory.

·Advertising is about gilding the lilly, I suppose. Not a field I could succeed in.
