Whitworth’s Diamond Watch

Woman's Own / 21st March 1969

Blimey. Here’s another implausibly expensive competition prize, all to give Whitworth’s marketing department some new ideas. I love the way they taunt the reader with the idea that they should imagine that they’re in a job that they were very unlikely to get in real life! Anyway, if my calculations are to be believed, the watches here are worth about £5000, which is gobsmackingly expensive. Whitworth’s really WERE in need of inspiration…

Cookability.

I hate that BG advert.

Corrr – I wouldn’t mind one of those! Tangentally – hygiene is not nearly so much used in advertising nowadays. Perhaps ‘hygiene’ was the ‘organic’ of the 70s. Now even cleaners concentrate on things like pleasant smells rather than the rest.

Thanks for the links to Vintage Fashion Guild in other page. Looks just up my alley – Sally.
