    I call this one the Obliviator. It requires one spirit measure, two glasses, a bottle of good quality Scotch whisky and some lemonade. The recipe is as follows:

    Westland Lysander G-CCOM flew over earlier. Couldn't see it, as I was otherwise occupied at the time, but I heard it and looked it up on ADSBExchange. I'm quite miffed I missed it.

    I was ten at the time, and in my last year of primary school when it happened. I don't recall the teachers being upset, but then it's possible they didn't know about it or, if they did, were not...

    Eterna desk chronometer clock.

    I picked this up towards the end of last year - a little Eterna desk chronometer from the 1980s in a wood, brass and leather case about three inches square. Since it wasn't working and I couldn't get...

    I quite like the Frodsham website. It's elegant, understated, and easy to understand in a few clicks. Compare it to the Zenith monstrosity above, and it's a whole world away.

    Thanks everyone for chipping in. Looks like a Monte Cristo 4 is the way to go. I see various comments about keeping it a one-off thing. Don't worry, in my circumstances, cigar smoking as a hobby...
  10. A Cuban cigar for a complete novice - recommendations wanted.

    Later this year I turn 30, and I've decided that to celebrate I'd quite like to do something I've never done before, something a bit reckless, and (attempt to) smoke a Cuban cigar. I should say at...

    I'm a compulsive omni-collector, which sounds so much better than hoarder. Joking aside, and not including horology, I collect the following: old books, antique silver and post-war designer silver,...

    It depends. Modern Rolex, yes. But only because their modern watches are watches that hold no appeal to me. Consequentially I don't particularly desire or wish to own them. Vintage Rolex, however, is...

    Not a lot of people know that although the first human to break the sound barrier was Chuck Yeager, a fox called Basil Brush did it first. Boom boom.

    Joking aside, what a legend. RIP.

    I agree with Wallasey in that it was probably originally a man's watch, from 1920 give or take a few years. But I'm not convinced that it was ever a pocket watch. Here's a very similar one to yours I...
