Debating whether to describe oneself as ‘businesswoman’, ‘model’ or ‘Balinese princess’ is a dilemma most of us will never have to grapple with – and what a time-saver that is. Of course, that’s not the case for the fabulous Lindy Klim, who flew in from her home in Bali for our Melbourne event with Omega seamaster series replica watches UK last week, to celebrate women’s watches through the ages. She was just one of a formidable group of women who joined us on the night from across business, fashion, architecture, media and more, to hear Omega’s International Heritage Manager Petros Protopapas reveal the huge role women’s watches have played in shaping society. We caught up with Lindy a few days later to find out if she enjoyed herself.

First up, paint a picture for us of where you are right now.
I’m in Echo Beach, which is in Canggu in Bali. I’m near the ocean, laying on the daybed.
Sounds awful.
I know! I’m very lucky to be able to split my time between Australia and Bali and Europe.
Well, thanks for joining us at the Omega event.
It was beautiful. That’s the second time I’ve heard Petros speak, too. What a wealth of knowledge. He has so much passion and enthusiasm.
Women’s watches haven’t always been given the attention they deserve, so wasn’t it amazing to find out that the first ever wristwatch was invented for a woman?
Definitely. Hearing the history was so inspiring. It makes you really proud to be a woman.
Now, you wear the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra, in red gold Omega fake seamaster series watches. What drew you to that?
I’ve been fortunate enough to try out a lot of Omega timepieces at different events, and to figure out what suits me best. This particular watch is really elegant and timeless. I don’t wear a lot of jewellery, so a beautiful statement watch is amazing. I like that it’s this interesting mix of masculine and feminine. I quite like bigger timepieces. And I love the gold and steel combination, which I think looks a bit vintage.

The first 10 lots of the Spectre auction were offered yesterday, and altogether, they brought almost $4 million – which is great news since all the proceeds went to charity. Our eyes were obviously set on the Prototype Omega Seamaster replica watches UK worn by Daniel Craig, and it blew well past the initial estimate of £15,000 – £20,000 ($21,375–$28,500) reaching over $130,000. And I am sure that you are also wondering who took home his Aston DB10. Well, I fear I can’t answer that, but the battle for this incredible car was fierce, and stopped near the $3.5 million mark, again a solid multiple over the estimates. And the Spectre auction is not finished yet, as some 14 additional lots from the movie are still available for online bidding.

This DB10 was announced as the only one to ever be offered for sale (James Bond had previously smashed seven of the 10 DB10s that Aston Martin hand-built for the set. You can imagine the intense competition to acquire this special car.  The starting estimate was £1,000,000 – £1,500,00 ($1,425,000 – $2,137,500) but the car eventually hammered for $3,476,466 –, an impressive amount for a car that you would not be allowed to use on public roads. Yet, its curves trump any underlying rationale – this DB10 is seriously endearing!

If, like Jack,  you really want the metallic fingernails of the villain, there is a good news; you can bid on the remaining lots for the next three days here. If you are feeling more peaceful but feisty, you can also bid on the cocktail set from the train scene – one way to make sure your dry martini is really best Omega replica watches.
