Fiona Kr��ger Celebration Skull Watch
When we first brought you a hands-on impression of the original watches Fiona Kr��ger was creating, Ariel mentioned that the pieces were very reminiscent of the skeletons you see associated with "Day of the Dead," or D��a de Muertos. The exception, to my eyes, was the fact that they were rather monochromatic. Now, I'm not a necessarily a celebrant of that day, but it calls to mind something very vividly colored. With her latest model, the Fiona Kr��ger Celebration Skull, that's all changed.As you can see by these photos, the Fiona Kr��ger Celebration Skull very much hews to the aesthetic of the celebration. It follows the basic geometry established in the earlier watches, and adds the use of colorful lacquer (and superluminova) to the three-layer dial. For me, this sort of juxtaposition of lively color and the epitome of mortality (a skull) is something I can certainly appreciate, though it's not a theme I personally am drawn to.The Fiona Kr��ger Celebration Skull also marks the first time
My Collection Got a New Addition
Hi Everyone,I have an awesome story that I wanted to share from a couple of days ago.On Friday, I came home early from work. My fianc��e and I had dinner plans, so I was just hanging out around the apartment until she got home. I heard the door open a couple of hours before I expected her. She came into our room and handed me a beautiful card. While I was reading the card, she left and came back with a very large box (you all probably see where this is going by now). Exactly four months before our wedding day, my fianc��e wanted to surprise me with an engagement gift of my own. I am still in shock that she surprised me with this gift and went through so much effort to do this for me. Even cooler was that she knew I regretted selling my Speedmaster Pro and replaced it with another Speedmaster that will always be so much more special to me. Okay, onto the pics!Reverso missing from the group shot
5711... This or that
So I'm in a spot here. I have a 5167 currently and the 5711 blue is arriving next week. I've been stoked for a while to get this but now that it's within reach I'm wondering if I will be content with it ? I don't want to purchase and then not like it in a month. At the same time, that feeling of owing a WG Sub has returned. Anyone that has owned both or does own both please advise what your thoughts on owning a 5711 blue or WG Sub. Obviously the weight difference is night and day but with the glide lock hopefully won't be a huge issue. I'm definitely keeping the 5167 either way.
36mm too small for 7.25�� wrist?
What does the forum think? I personally prefer the 36mm DJ and DD over their 40mm counter parts. As stated I've got a 7.25 inch wrist, bigger guy but just prefer the classic case sizes in these two references. I've tried to like the DD40 and DJ 41 but for some reason keep coming back to 36mm pieces. I guess I'm just old fashioned. So what does everyone think, is 36mm too small for me? Not that I'd stop wearing my 36mm pieces either way lol. Just curious what the forums thoughts are with the bigger is better trend.
