Learning Digital Illustration With Watches: Interview With Wrist.im Founder
By day, Matt Johnston is a web designer and developer, and as a hobby, he digitally illustrates wrist watches on his website Wrist.im. About a year ago, Matt decided he needed to learn more sophisticated digital illustration, and to do so, he decided to create digital illustrations of some of the watches that he personally owned.Matt explains that he was fascinated by the "user interface" of watches and the challenge of indicating the time in a clear, yet interesting manner. Johnston's first project was to illustrate his simple Timex Weekender. Over time, Johnston has created a small collection of wrist watch illustrations, many of which include code that allows them to indicate the time in your web browser.What I found so interesting about the Wrist.im project is the focus on watches that many seasoned watch lovers might consider basic or pedestrian. Perhaps Johnston's most moving work is the digital recreation of a simple and timeless (and quite retro by today's standards) Casio F-91
Hands-On: With The Tissot Heritage Navigator 160th Anniversary (Live Pics & Pricing)
To celebrate its 160th anniversary, Tissot reached back into its past and decided to bring back an iconic anniversary watch, the Tissot Heritage Navigator. The first version of this watch was released in 1953 when the brand turned 100, and now Tissot has updated the classic worldtimer design to suit the brand's modern identity, giving us the Heritage Navigator 160th Anniversary.? 2 OF 14 The biggest difference you'll notice immediately is the larger size for the 160th Anniversary Navigator. The 1953 centenary edition was 36mm, which was relatively large for the time, and accordingly the new Heritage Navigator is 43mm. The case is certainly large, but it wears very easy on the wrist. Plus, the increased size seriously helps legibility which is often a problem with true worldtime watches like this. 3 OF 14 To make the Heritage Navigator easy to read, Tissot uses 12-hour markings on the bezel for reading the main time and 24-hour markings on the dial to help re
My Very Frist Omega (Don't hate me Rolex)
It's kind of like a Ford guy buying a Chevy for the first time...My very first Omega came via UPS today It is a Seamaster Planet Ocean XL.Orange Bezel & Orange 12/6/9.Black Omega Rubber Strap w/ Deployment Clasp w/ Orange Stitching.And man did I have a surprise: I thought I was buying the watch pre-loved... but when this baby showed up, it was sealed! All stickers were still in place including the seal over the crystal... the red dot is also still in place on the caseback...In addition, the warrany card has 2011 embossed in it, but the date is open, any suggestions if I should fill in the date or not???No wrist shot yet, because I don't want to take off the plastics... haha Anway, I will wear it for a bit, and then probably sell it to fund another Rolex... but I must say, I am loving it!!! The size is so cool, just right for a guy like me (6'3)....
