What time is it? Watches and horology

It's awful but will sell like mad and generate loads of hype.

I’m still not sure it will. It feels like Swatch are trying to repeat the trick but I don’t necessarily think it’ll work this time, at a higher price point, with an uglier watch and a much less well known brand.

I like Swatches commitment to not making a black or grey version. You want to be a hypebeast? Dress like 2010 Pharrell Williams

I'm not a fan of the kind of consumerism that these watches stand for, but I like that they have automatic movements and applied markers.

Looks so much better in real life.

Great stuff.

My verdict re SwatchPain.

I guess you have to like the original and I have never been a fan.

I don't like the hands. I don't like the fade dials. I don't particularly like the colour combinations.

For that reason, I'm ooooot. (Not because I wouldn't get near or cant really afford it)

This cracker on the other hand, has been flawless.

Happy Fridee.

That does look really nice, congrats!

This is lovely!

Looks great. Wear in good health

Cheers all. I was surprised by how great it looks (in real life) and wears.

Happy Friday 🙂 got this in a box of old watches mostly not working, battery cam in the post this morning and hey presto, a touch screen watch from the 80’s… and I don’t think I’m a fan of the new swatch - I did by a Moonswatch as was passing a swatch shop in town, thought it was ok apart from the strap but sold it in the end.

Ooof

That is a lovely colour!

It is. And the leather strap has a nice purple accent to it too

That colour looks great, wear in good health 👍

Anyone fancy either of these? I’m selling two watches I don’t want to sell as the money is needed elsewhere…
Chronostop serviced last year by Brendan Hoey, works a treat. Dynamic freshly serviced by an authorised service centre and comes with 2 year warranty.

Love the chronostop, undoubtedly too much £££ for me

What sizes are they?

Chronostop is 41mm. Wears very comfortably. It’s hand wound, so quite slim even though there’s good 2mm of the crystal on top.
Dynamic is 38mm.

Looking at various examples online, considering recent service and the incredible condition for a watch from the 1970, it’s a bargain at £2250 😂

Didn't you only post the Dynamic up the other day? I think I've had trips to the toilet that lasted longer.

Yup, life gets in the way sometimes. Let me know if you’re interested 👍

It’s been a while, happy Friday friends.

For once a photo of a watch in its intended environment 🤿

Ok….it’s a paddling pool, but still 👌🏻
