Loner Alexander Pacteau (inset) repeatedly hit Karen Buckley (left) with a spanner after she left a nightclub in Glasgow in April. He then plotted to get rid of the student's body by dissolving her in caustic soda, which he bought at a nearby shop (pictured main) while her desperate friends and family took part in a huge four-day search. Miss Buckley's family branded 21-year-old Pacteau 'pure evil' and a 'coward' today after he admitted her murder. It can be revealed for the first time that Pacteau, who admitted murder, previously stood trial for attempted rape and sexual assault, but was cleared by a majority verdict.

10 of the best watches to own, according to an expert collector
aBlogtoWatch
Watches I recommend for anyone to own? That sounds a bit presumptuous, right?
Well, it is, but hear me out.
In what might end up being a new series of articles here on aBlogtoWatch, I'd like to share with our audience the timepieces that we as individual watch lovers and experts would recommend to any new or veteran collector.
In fact, I would go so far as to say that no watch collection is truly complete without including most or all of these models. But let's face it, is any collection of anything ever really complete? Let's hope not.
