Aged Automata & Other Clockwork Creations In Swiss Watch Museums
Mechanical magic is a thing of wonder and myth. For centuries, artisans skilled with tools and gears have been engineering the impossible. Today, the hidden underbellies of machinery both large and small are mostly kept from plain sight in a society where mechanical things are no longer as interesting to most people. Today's most advanced machines operate on levels we cannot even view with our own eyes. Our phones and computers operate with almost no moving parts. The movement is based on microscopic energy moving around in cheaply made circuit boards. The modern era has removed the child-like enjoyment many of us receive from viewing how things work.In Switzerland things are a bit different. At least in the watchmaking regions of the country. There, an adherence to traditional mechanical watchmaking is both tradition and business. Keeping alive the savoir of machines helps the locals remember the history behind today's modern mechanical creations, and inspires those of us who are tick

Versace fans gladly welcome the new Versace Gallery watches
Versace fans gladly welcome the new Versace Gallery watches demonstrating an appealing Art Deco style. The curved case is rendered in polished, 18k red-gold.

The brown dial is also decorated with a stamped guilloche pattern. The outer part of the dial is embellished with the signature "exploding" Arabic numerals also crafted in 18k gold.

One of our Omega Seamasters stopped running and I posted in that regard several weeks ago. It was under warranty and has been sent to a service center. How long it too long to wait to get it back?

My new 372 - with mandatory wrist shot ;)
It's been a while between posts here, and new watches (life got in the way ;)) - missed this great place!I'm back with a much needed new addition to the family that I picked up this week - my new friend the 372.I debated long and hard between this and the 312 - despite the fact I loved the 372, I was worried it may be too big on my wrist, but in the end I went with my gut and I think it worked out ok ;)I'm loving it's simple dial, domed plexiglass and retro looks. No doubt she's big, but I think somehow low profile (relatively speaking!), and very comfortable.Hope you enjoy my pics
