my top 5 items
1. My iPhone
I couldn’t live without my iPhone.
It’s not only a beautiful thing but it keeps you in touch with the world. The downloadable applications allow me to do everything - including keeping you guys up to date via my Twitter account.
2. My Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman
This has to be the best chair ever designed.
The ultimate design classic. released in 1956 after years of development by designers Charles and Ray Eames for the Herman Miller furniture company. It was the first chair the Eames designed for a high-end market.
3. My Bell&Ross (model BR01-94 Titanium) watch.
The most stunning and unique watch design. It’s a joy to wear! Bell & Ross was formed in 1992 to be a part of the Swiss watchmaking tradition, while also meeting the demands of men facing extreme situations. Now the likes of astronauts, pilots, divers, and bomb disposal experts use Bell & Ross watches…and now architects!
4. My real fire at home
The Conmoto Balance Modular Stove system designed by Peter Maly. It’s the most beautiful looking fire and storage system. It looks amazingly simple and elegant and it belts out the heat. It makes my place feel like the most cosy and romantic home. Visit Encompassco.com.
5. My Moleskin sketchbooks and notebooks
They are the best sketchbooks in the world and have been used by some of the greatest artists, architects and writers. I always carry one with me and I’ve got hundreds at home packed full of drawings and ideas. Everyone should carry one.

I love my iPod and MacBook! I’ve been a total Apple geek since i took the plunge and bought my first iPod a few years ago. I would have to say my favourite item of furniture is my Mies van der Rohe Barcelona Chair. Stunning and timeless design.

Andy…good stuff…nothing beats Apple! I can’t go near a PC without breaking out in a cold sweat! I’m lucky enough to have a few barcelona chairs…they are absolutely beautiful pieces and I love them, but they don’t quite have the same level of comfort as the Eames Chair…if you are an old man like me then the Eames lounge chair to collapse in after a day of hard work is absolute heaven!

Hi there George,
I’m a total convert to wood burning stoves, even over open fires, so Im with you on the fire front!
But I’m happy with the rumors I’m hearing about possible wood shortages this winter due to the increased popularity of stoves!
Great site too George.

Hi George, I recently started watching the Home Show and love it.
I also love the watch you wear on the show; it’s not the Bell & Ross above, it’s a stainless steel one with a white face, it’s just the kind of thing I’ve been looking for for my hubby, can you tell me what it is please?

George, fabulous show. You always show great enthusiasm and respect. Not only that you shine as a man who has passion for what he does and cares deeply. I take my hat off to you.
As for your tastes, I concur. Bell and Ross what a quality chrono. otheres I covert are: Patek, Chanel (with the black ceramic strap) and Jaeger le Coutre reverso. I can run to an Oris which I love, but whenever you get tired of your Bell……
I was wondering if the garden room at the retirement home was by Scott Horner’s company? It looks so much like one of his units, he incidentally is the son of one of my patients.
Anyway good luck you remain one of the most watcheable presenters on tv.
Best wishes
Hamish
