    English Watches on Saint George's Day

    As today is the feast day of the eponym of the TZ-UK virtual pub and patron saint of England, as well as the anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth and death, let’s see some fine English watches.

    I’ll be wearing this for a jaunt down to El Ingles for a roast dinner later. Unfortunately I don’t think that Calocybe gambosa will be featuring amongst the selection of side dishes.

    What a very tastefully arranged picture! You do like your calculating 'engines' Mr Curta.

    Also the traditional day to look for St George's mushrooms.

    Oh no, i have nothing to show on this special occasion.
    This is clearly a gap I need to fill.
    I've let the side down and will aim to rectify as soon as practicable.

    Thanks for the fine contributions, I'll add some more of mine. A W10 hasn't featured yet.




    And here are a couple of JW Bensons.





    Rev-O has a most enviable collection of English watches, but this is the only day of the week that he's at work

    I'm afraid that this is the only one and I've just surprised myself as to how few photos I have of it.

    A lovely sunny day, but where's me beer?


    Ah, morale restored.


    The girls seemed to struggle with the St. Georges Day concept.
