Six Professionals That Tend To Be Watch Lovers
Enjoying watches is typically not a solo activity. Watch lovers like myself feel the need constantly discuss or mentions watches, much to the dismay of non-watch lovers. But when you meet a fellow horological enthusiast, the conversation quickly becomes lively as shared interests intermingle. In my time I have realized that certain types of people tend to like watches more than others. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but represents six professions that tend to attract a watch loving bunch. Though it could also easily be suggested that entrance into the profession itself engenders a new appreciation that all the while lay dormant.LawyersMyself being in this group I felt it prudent to mention first. Lawyers comes in all varieties but one thing all lawyers (should) have in common is a distinct attention to detail. We also value items of inherent value, and reliability. Accuracy is another characteristic that lawyers value, and coincidentally enough, these are the same values that

Making the Tissot Sea Touch Video: Tissot Has Never Looked So Bad Ass
We often think of watchmaking as a quaint, old world, manual operation - wizened men hunched over a desk, loupe planted firmly in the eye, carving out steel components with 19th century tools. While there still are watch manufactures that preserve the old ways of doing things, even the storied companies like Patek and Lange fully embrace the latest technology for parts of the process where it makes sense. Similarly, even mass produced pieces require some manual steps and the steady hands of trained watchmakers to assemble.Take, for example, the Tissot Sea Touch. The Sea Touch is a quartz ana-digi multifunctional dive watch from the Swatch Group's entry level marque. Though it's a thoroughly modern underwater tool, with electronic compass, depth gauge and dive log functions, as the following video shows, there are still some human processes involved in its manufacture. This video is a fascinating inside look at how Tissot builds a watch in large numbers. We see hands being stamped and l

New addition and I am now ready for Baselworld 2018
After Rolex introduced the new movement 3 years ago, this time of year before Baselworld I was like more concerned about what model Rolex could discontinue, instead of excited about what new model they would introduce. The recent global dry up of the SS models just maked this year's feeling worse. With the current production line, one of the few always in my shopping list is the DS D-blue. I had concerns about its thickness before, but after owning PAM 005 I was confident I could handle the D-Blue as well. So last week I finally made up my mind and started calling ADs to check its availability, plus asking information on the SD 43 and Daytona C that also in my shopping list. For the first 4 or 5 AD I called their answers were basically the same: 1)forget about the 500c, 2)10-15 people waiting list for the SD43, 3) no waiting list for the D Blue and they can call me once in stock.I finally found one on Saturday and picked it up to join my Rolex collection. Not only did the AD remove al
