If I was the only person left in the world, a watch would be unnecessary. The concept of syncronicity becomes irrelevant when there is no one to syncronize with. Besides I would have my days filled...
+1.
The funny thing is that these days old and heavy brazzed black Leica cameras and lenses are actually getting very high prizes on the the collectors market. Here's...
If I got a watch which had them, I'd replace them with normal bars. When at all possible (that is with drilled lugs) I always use long tipped shoulderless bars. I like drilled lugs because they...
I bought this in 2006 and back then I wrote a favorable review. When it was new, it's timekeeping was spot on - +/- 0 secs a week. Now 12½ years later it still keeps excellent time though it has...
I have loved archtops for 50 years. Here's a 19" built by Jim Triggs with more than a nod to the old Elmer Stromberg instruments from the 1940s and 1950s. Perfect for swing big band rhythm playing...

We all want that. The sooner you get yours, the later the rest of us will get ours. They are burdened by a heavy order load at the moment and competent watchmakers are not easily found in Germany.
So much to see in Rome - actually more than enough for a lifetime. Much has already been mentioned in previous posts. Most of it is within walking distance.
I'd suggest a visit to Palazzo Dorij...
For people for whom time dosn't matter but brand names are everything. Black hands against a black dial are not the most easy to read. But the Patek name is with its white colour.

We have had several semi automatic espresso machines (Saeco, Jura etc.). My son and daughter in law uses Nespresso machines. To my taste, none have been able to capture that true Italian espresso...
Many years ago I bought a second hand Canon F1 camera which was exhibited in the shop window and marked with a very, very good price which might or might not be a mistake. When the salesman took it...
Sinn EZM 10?
+1 for Pelikan M800.
I have a couple of them in different colours. I have other brands, but my M800s have been my daily writers for 20 years. They have easily swappable screw in nib units. I use...
Years ago, I had an "open ended" riveted pilot strap on my IWC 3706. Once when shopping, it happened that the strap caught the flange of the spring bar and tore it out. I just discovered the watch...
In all fairness, Laco also offers non-aged versions of these watches, so there's something for everyone. Those of us who don't want an "aged" watch have an alternative. I don't want one either, but...
I don't think I have ever wanted anything so badly that I would accept such a business manner. There are other nice watches than Rolex out there. But then, of course, I bought my one and only Rolex...
I'm having a "deja vu" from when my 756 was send for service a couple of years ago. We'll see. It will arrive one of these days. To be fair, their service price was very reasonable compared with the...
Indeed. I love and own good mechanical watches but actually a Casio 5610 (the one with solar charging and atomic clock connection) provide us with as much sheer ruggedness, reliability, precision,...
In the last couple of years a smaller number of German watch manufacturers has agreed on the DIN 8330 standard. Sinn, among others, have three models which conforms to the standard. Before that, ...
If I didn't already own a 42mm Laco B-uhr and if I didn't have a lot of other things which drains my wallet at the moment, I would have ordered this one in a heartbeat. IMHO, it's one of the best...
I know many will disagree, but seriously, I find that the boxing of watches has gone far over the top these days as far as size and weight goes. The same can be said of fountain pens. A couple of...
I too agree. That's the target of most Sinn watches.
However, I will venture to say that in practice the majority of Sinn tool watches are bought by wannabe "desk action men" (like myself). In...
Right. I didn't. That was not the objective of that part of my post. Of course, one can argue, that it should have been. But it wasn't. Anyway, let's not nitpick about that. It's not that important....
