...dressier watches are so cool.
 
I'm quite taken with this Ruhla kampschwimmer ltd edition remake - as used by the DDR special forces back in the day

wouldnt buy / cant afford an original one, but the remake is very close to the original and is tough as ..well.. the DDR special forces
 
Very nice...I've been looking at perpetual calendars and that is damn lush.
What's the age of that?
Not really sure tbh,looks pretty new,not a scratch on it,cost me £120,was'nt planning on buying a watch atm but as soon as I saw it I had to have it.

Since I can't find my mislaid Timex Expedition, I treated myself to a Casio.

£5.95, waterproof to some depth and even lighter than my previous one.

Parmigiani Kalpagraph Gentleman's Wristwatch in 18 ct Yellow Gold being auctioned tomorrow...£10,000 est.
 
Does anybody know if it's a bad idea to let an automatic watch stop regularly when you're not wearing it, then spin it up and reset? Or does it matter?
 
If it made any real difference, beyond a few ticks a day here and there, it would actually be better for regulation to keep it wound. But then even a certified chronograph can be off -4/+6 seconds a day.

The reality is that the difference this makes is irrelevant in a day of cheap quartz watches and mobile phones that fetch their time off atomic clocks.
 
Saw a video of unusual skeleton movement watches on FB. Love these two, silly prices though.

Devon Tread 1, about £10,000

The website for the Urwerk is right up there with audiophile equipment sales pitches :D

While the UR-210 is characterized by its original URWERK time display, of equal note – and with reason – is the UR-210's personalized communication with its owner. Never has a timepiece displayed such feedback and attachment to its owner.

“The UR-210 represents a serious accomplishment for URWERK. This timepiece opens a new chapter in the evolution of our complications. It doesn’t just measure a universal value in a completely original way, but starts a real dialogue between the watch and its wearer. The UR-210 indicates your personal activity; this is yours and nobody else’s.”
