Dark Roasted just did another page full of glorious and weird watches and clocks yesterday. Some are really cool. http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2009/05/extraordinary-clocks-and-watches.html john
I can't get it... why no one care about time anymore ? This flu and crisis screwed the world very hard...
I don't think it's that no one cares anymore, it's just everyone who has a watch that they'd post has now posted after the initial rush... RwD
For another forum I have a pocket watch with a thumbdrive on the workbench. Standard USB seem too large. Back to you as I progress. It seems most people just buy watches and never think of tinkering them into something else. I R Just Weird john
Bumping myself here. How about: 2 Gb USB flash drive in a watch!!! Comes from this site: http://www.gadget4all.com/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00769 Several styles and colors. Cheap! Now to yank the guts and put them in a pocket watch case. john
I've been wearing this one recently, but the strap's too large and I don't know whether to hack links out, swap it for another strap or just put up with it Looks better IRL, in that pic it's covered in dust.
Thanks for the article up there jon - I've decided to go for a pi-fraction wall clock next time I buy one.
What an awesome link it was, never in all my years on the internets have I heard of let me google that for you Abolsutely stunning watch that faceless model. I want one! The pi-fraction clock sounds interesting - Link? Been looking for an interesing, modern clock for my office since I had it redone. BTW this is off topic but I am getting one of these for my recently redecorated bedroom
Holy resurrection batman I got a new watch Its a Nixon newton, Have fallen in love with their watches my old Nixon broke the other day after 5 years but gunna try fix it
4 Need to take some better photos... these are 2 years old.. 1967 Omega Seamaster Custom. Only one of its type
I cant believe this thread wasnt started earlier, ive always liked watches, and whilst ive never been super rich, ive never been afraid to spend well on watches (within what i can afford of course) Currently though i only have 3 watches, they tend to come and go with me, so heres pic of ones i have. one on left is a seiko something or other, really liked look originally, i bought this on 23rd february 2001. £295.. which was alot then. When i got fed up with battery changes and reseals, price increased dramatically, i then moved onto Seiko kinetic auto relay. £350 I really love this watch and never to need batteries is great for me. Then recently i relegated this to the watch i wear at work, so not worried about scratching etc, so after work and at weekends i use the, Citizen Blue angels eco watch. It was selling for over £400 at the time but i managed to get shop down to £350 for cash. Then realised that soon they did a titanium version (grrrrr too late now). My next watch will be either Tag carrera, or most likely the Rolex Daytona, white dial. chrisb2e9, the black/orange version wasnt available when i got mine, but the original blue one still seems to sell for more? weird.
That looks nice Gunsmith - what does it weigh? I'm in the market for an analogue chrono, but it's got to be fairly light (I *hate* heavy watches), my current one is about 100 grams...
that faceless watch remind me of my phillip stark fossil watch i was given a few years ago http://www.gadgets-weblog.com/wp-content/uploads/new_starck_watch_led.jpg and my Nike amp + http://www.individualsole.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/nike-amp-watch-1.jpg I got one of these for my bday and its great http://www.triwa.com/site/product.php?id=1183
