Chris ,can I ask if you meant to attatch your family photos to the posting?

I'm kind of bemused about their relevance!

Spend all your income on the latest technology and your poor children are reduced to fending for themselves in the woods and washing in a cattle trough.........

Does a product have to state where it is made? why not just take off the Made in China sticker and replace it with "by appointment to the royal danish court" ? Some of the magic, for me at least, of B&O was the fact that it was made in Denmark - so it seemed special.

I'm not clear on this comment, but regarding the first half of it about making it China but putting some slogan on there about Denmark. It's like saying... "Hey, charge me the same amount but make more profit by taking the values that made your company great with great local people and mass produce my product where everyone else who charges a lot less does, too!. After all, it's just money, I'm cool with it!" And if that was the intent of that, I will never understand that line of thinking.

If Rolex, Vacheron Constantin, Patek, Breguet etc. *EVER* tried to get away with that, they would all be burned at the stake and cease to exist in a matter of months. No one ever said something runs with the "precision of a Chinese watch". 

Chris, your Leica is absolutely gorgeous and takes amazing pictures!

What model is that?

It's a legal requirement here to have the country of manufacture on the item

Same in the US.

Hi guess what I meant was some indication that it is a danish company, although Bang & Olufsen is probably enough - didn't realise it was a legal requirement in some countries to have the country of manufacture on products. 

Chris - the Leica is gorgeous, congratulations.

Amazing photos Chris. I could tell immediately the difference between the Leica and iPhone photo. Smartphone pix have no depth and life whereas a proper camera like the Leica ha real 'life' to it. Really nice :)

Huh...are we at a photo forum😂
