What time is it? Watches and horology

There's also Black 3.0 and Musou Black, neither of which are expensive.

Same stuff Kapoor uses but he pays handsomely for the privilege (so that no one else can use it for works of art - which apparently doesn’t include watch dials).

I wonder if there’s ever been an International Klein Blue watch face

Ochs und Junior offer IKB dials (and hands, date indicators, etc) as part of their customisation options.

Oh nice. That got me wondering if a vantablack face with vantablack hands and indices etc would be in any way legible.

I can tell you that it's actually a cosmetically similar variant of vantablack, and isn't particularly fragile.

In person, the watch simply looks like it has a black dial. The crystal diminishes any special effect you might perceive quite a lot anyway.

I'd say it's a gimmick. Just like with the other brands that did it already.

Yeah, I had assumed that was the case.

What I'd like to see is the material used next to materials with colour, rather than white gold, silver, stainless and ceramics etc as most brands have done.

Monochrome reflective dials reflect the warm tones of gold cases and indeces - it's almost imperceptible, but it's there. Presumably a material like vantablack wouldn't do that.. might make for a more interesting effect.

It’s Friday people!

Decided to start wearing my good old Edifice again. A gift from xx years ago from my grandmother, all it took was 10 euro for a new battery and a spring bar.

Nice, I've never owned but always liked Edifices.

Also, Iron Rangers?

Have worn it all week so far and am quite enjoying it again. Lume is terrible, lasts about 5 minutes but hey, in general you get what you pay for.

IIRC this one was only made for the Asian market, it's the EF-546.

Iron Rangers in rough and tough copper indeed, sharp eye. I posted an actual in focus pic in the leather shoes thread recently.

School run kinda morning.

Kinda like this OP knock off, there's one on ebay for < £300

Nice - I like the mustard yellow dial model too

Datejust dial, 17000 quartz case, daydate bracelet. Kinda weird but cool.

Lovely that.

Office today, been a while

Here's my Friday watch... Edifice I fried a few years ago trying to artificially charge it under a light....

You can see the warped face / solar panel from the pinion to the 1.
