Artya Son Of A Gun Watches Use Real Bullets
Yvan Arpa's newest concept for his Artya brand is combining bullets and watches. The result will be a new series of strictly piece unique watches that somehow combine guns and timepieces. This one (called the Sun of a Gun) literally takes bullets and sticks them in the dial and the rotor. I am sort of surprised nothing like this has been done before. Maybe people are gun shy?According to Artya the first piece in the Time Shot (eventually called Son of a Gun) collection was commissioned by a collector. In a sense, the concept is a metaphor for what time is - a killer. There are a whole range of such "morbid" watches. A good example are those from Mr. Jones Watches that have hands which literally remind you that you will die. Nothing more uplifting that remembering that time is running out for you each time you check to see if your meeting is about to start. I suppose that type of messaging is good for the perpetually unmotivated who need some extra help to get stuff done.Using the stand

Speedmaster Patch Price
I'm going to try on a new Speedmaster Patch tomorrow. It comes with the wooden box and extensive paperwork. The price is ?2.5K, about ?600 more than a non-patch. Does this seem to be in the right sort of area? I may purchase if I can secure a discount - seems to be a buyers market at the moment.I will be doing a JJ and taking the loop. Anything other shopping advice you would care to pass along?Thanks
