No, sir. This is not a”$400 Fifty Fathoms.” It’s a both a cheap imitation of a Blancpain, and a boring, unstylish Swatch.

Watched "Making Time".
It's a documentary about a few people on horology, and their journey. I wish that they showed the watches and mechanical movements more.

An ok watch, if you are interested in the study of time. Not very exciting TBH, but that's just me.

I do enjoy a good wristwatch, and my latest pickup was the "Mission to Jupiter" variant of the Omega/Swatch MoonSwatch when I finally came across one at retail on a trip to London! The stock strap came off straight away in favour of a plain black one, but I thought having something matching the orange of the chrono hands would be nice, and this Skylab-inspired velcro strap is aligned in theme and colour!

Latest cleaning of a Hermle Skeleton 8 day mvmt. This is the before shot, before taking apart the plates. Wasn't in too bad of shape for not cleaning in 10+ years.

Are there any maker types here who can advise me on how to build a physical version of this “mathematically accurate clock”?

Picked this up today at an antiques shop, just because I thought it was interesting - an old mechanical watch movement, fascinating! There's no crown or winding stem, but the balance wheel and spring are still present, and if you swing the balance, you can see the escape wheel turning. Only after coming home did it occur to me it might be something nice to turn into a piece of jewellery, so I'm talking to someone about doing that!

Throwback photo from when I was Museum Director for the National Watch & Clock Museum. Here I am at a Hamilton Watch event in NYC showing Sylvain Dolla, then CEO of Hamilton Watches, one of the museum’s rare Hamilton watches we were displaying for them at the event.

I’ve found that since I got my Apple Watch I wear my “real” timepieces a lot less. That’s a mistake. I need to get back into the habit. Still love this Citizen MarineSport Automatic.

In the 1980s, Casio started to have different marketing strategies, and one of it is to have their product appear in movies. Some famous ones are in the James Bond franchise and Back to the Future Trilogy.
