On the other side, you've got watches that are expensive because they're made from expensive stuff – precious metals, hand-cut diamonds, bits of meteorites. This is where you'll find the flagship watches by your Swiss old-guard (and the odd disruptive new brand), which use nothing more than cogs and gears to track the movement of the planets, or chime like Big Ben. On the traditional side, you've got six- and sometimes seven-figure timepieces that earn their price tag by squeezing incomprehensibly complicated engineering into teeny tiny cases. The most expensive watches on earth, then, tend to fall into one of two camps.
Which makes it all feel a bit more justifiable than dropping more than most mortgages on a ring with a big diamond on. But like an Italian sports car, your outlay also buys you precision engineering and decades of heritage. The best watches do, of course, look very pretty. Instead, they're more like functional jewellery, a way for men to buy themselves something fancy but also know that what they've purchased does more than just look pretty. Or rather, they're not just about telling the time. But a these days, watches aren't really about telling the time. I-cord buttonholes complete the cardigan.Considering that everyone has the exact time, in every timezone on earth, in their pocket at all times, a mechanical watch that costs more than a house can seem like a curious investment. Sleeves are picked up and worked top-down, before front bands and neck edging are worked. Sleeve caps are divided and set aside, then the body is worked to the desired length. Stitches are then cast on for each front, where two further cable panels are placed, before shaping the sleeves and upper body with raglan increases.
This cardigan is worked from the top down, casting on a few stitches, placing cable panels for sleeves and back, and increasing in pattern to shape the upper body and front neckline. Select the size above your actual bust measurement with the amount of ease preferred. (finished measurements take account of the drawing-in effect of the cable panels) Use 4mm needle as a starting point for swatching.
