What time is it? Watches and horology

[applause]

My wrist now smells delicious. Is it wrong to lick a bracelet? Asking for a friend.

@spunk_nautical cheers!

@TRA thanks, agree, I wasn’t sure if the hour and minute hand designs ought to be the other way round, but it reads fine.

@PawG ta! Sinn is looking crispy.

@edscoble yeah it’s nice isn’t it. They are in the Nomos wheelhouse of “ah, I see you are man of culture as well” watches for graphic design appreciators. But I like how it’s all been done and I think they’ve succeeded in creating something that feels genuine, and unique to them, and where they are from. Full marks for effort.

Your Rolex, your rules.

Your Vostok, your rules.

“It’s ok, it’s designed to work with chana gobi masala in the movement.”

Yup, I like the locking bits on account of my line of work, not exactly useful with the strap dangling when working on machinery.

Need.

Thanks. Made it myself...

A proper watch. Lovely.

Finally decided to put my Black Bay on the Nato it came with (I'd been umming and aahing as they seem to sell for a lot of money so was keeping it mint). It definitely changes the look of the watch

Super Frankenstein sea dweller. Just need that genuine bezel

Super Frankenstein sea dweller.

??? whats the story?

Yes! I thought that strap would look great against the blue dial. Enjoy.

Is the glit less obvious? It look quite subtle.

That is tasty

Hi Ed, it depends on the angle of view and the light. Face on I can see the gilt most clearly, as you move side on it’s less obvious, on the bevelled hands in particular. It’s certainly more subtle than some pictures can suggest. I like that as it could have been overpoweringly ‘gold’ if not.

Hope everyone is doing well ...

those fish and chips were sitting heavy so on a lighter note .....falafel and bean salad today with a side order of socks and sandals

peace and love

From today's print edition NYT.

Imagine having a timepiece so valuable it makes financial sense to advertise it in a national paper.
