What time is it? Watches and horology

Tempted! 😂😂😂😂

The whole thing raises some interesting philosopical questions the ownership vs stewardship approach to art.

But it's still weird.

"Hey, let's sell some art watches."

"Ok I'll hire an artist"

"Nah bro, just buy a canvas and chop it up and glue them bits to a watch face."

Ah. Ruling in. Court says no.

Danish court rules artist's work cannot be cut up to make watches

Love this Sinn - what size is it? How does it wear sizewise?

This is rather nice

It's a 41mm case. - https://www.sinn.de/en/Modell/144_St_Sa.htm

Sadly I haven't had a chance to resize the bracelet yet - a combination of technical job interview prep, almost chopping off the best part of the tip of a finger in a kitchen accident and my inability to find my precision screwdriver set means that I am slow to get to it. Pics for Friday I hope.

Moody Rolex?

I like this very much. What reference is that Seiko?

SARY055 or similar

Edit: as a guess

Looks to be it. 👍

Literally says it in the linked post...

Oh yeah. Who clicks links though?

Shoulda just asked on the AQA thread like normal people

Fantastic looking watch, would be all over it if it was 38mm or less...

Spotted in Hatton garden window. Shame it’s quartz. @ejay2.0 did they do an auto version?

Oof, thats fugly

It'd be a shame if they did in automatic! Quartz captures the era that was made in perfectly!

Liberty with some vintage Rolex watches but one with a rarer blue gradient dial and an Omega Seamaster with an almost turquoise dial which I've never seen. All nicely over priced. Im also loving the description of "white metal" with an asking price of £6300.

which I’ve never seen...

Not surprised you’ve never seen one...’Customised dial’ lol, vintage watches can be a such racket. Out of interest what was the asking price of the Omega?

I don’t think they did an auto , quartz is spot on for that era as has been said.

Did anyone else have this? I still have mine somewhere. Wonder if I can get it working...

I really quite like it. Apart from the very thin bracelet

wore those well into secondary, it was a kind of group joke among friends but we all loved them! It quickly stopped when girls started taking the piss out of our watch choices in clubs. I wonder if we were secretly trying to break free of toxic masculinity... or just grunge idiots

Not sure the two can be separated
