Unfortunate choice of name?
« on: July 28, 2019, 01:11:29 PM »
This  seller of deluxe watches is located in the most expensive shopping mall in Bangkok.
They have branches in other very expensive parts of the city.

Like most such stores in Asia, all signs, advertising etc are in English.

You would think that someone might have pointed out to them their unfortunate choice of name.....

 ;D

What does the PMT stand for in Bangkok?

Not been able to find out yet, Jacki, but I'll ask around.
The parent company is based in Singapore, apparently, and they have branches in several parts of Australasia, including three in Australia, simply trading as 'The Hour Glass' - without the PMT!
