norman foster collaborates with lebond on his first wristwatch, featuring a swiss automatic movement, and interchangeable components.

The "Mission Impossible" watch (DW-290) got an upgrade. Another worthy contender for those that want to step dangerously close to G-Shock territory.

A reminder that some day I'll be out there driving a stylish classic grand tourer up an Alpine road with my gorgeous partner in the passenger seat and the wind in our hair...just as soon as I'm done with my desk job.

Not a G-Shock, but it's tough as nails and you can see the time from a mile away

I find it awful, but hey, its my taste after all.

That watch too went to the moon. And yeah its quite cheaper than the Omega MOTM.

Just received my BestFit #111 and #111A manuals in hard copy from Lulu. Couldn't be happier :-)

As usual, the post has all the details :-)

I thought I'd share this neat little trick I've been using to quickly sift through a bunch of random jewels to find the one I need.

Sometimes, you need a cat pic, even in a horology community.

Want to add a blog? comment and I will add it.

I was reading the latest edition of the AWCI’s Horological Times, which has an article on the latest Rolex escapement. Pretty nifty stuff, and might solve some lever escapement issues.

The article refers “Le Echappement Naturel” by the great Breguet as a starting point, and look at that Wikipedia page - isn’t it awesome what people could build over two-hundred years go, before the industrial revolution took hold?

And also, I wonder. Breguet gave up because manufacturing tolerances weren’t there for this escapement. How would it fare today?
