Swiss Cubli Takes The Balance Wheel To A New Level
The Cubli isn't a watch, but if you love mechanical timepieces you are going to love this robotic cube. Designed in Zurich and no doubt somewhat inspired by mechanical watch movements, the Cubli is an ultra-modern robot that feels like what happens in Switzerland when people with a focus on the past also focus on the future. When I imagine how the watch industry can better interact with the technology industry I think of something like this.What is Cubli? It is a 15cm perfect cube that moves by itself using a series of spinning wheels. The wheels create momentum but also provide balance due to the power of centripetal force. Not being a physicist I am not going to even attempt to explain how it works using all of the proper terms. What you need to know is that it is amazing to see in action. The result is a cube that "walks" and can stay balanced on a point, even on moving surfaces. In addition to moving and balancing, the Cubli can also jump.Inside the Cubli are what the makers refer

Omega Vacation Purchase!
I'm on vacation this week in St. Thomas, USVI.Yesterday we went into Charlotte Amalie, the capital & where the cruise ships stop, to do some browsing. Prices in St. Thomas are good, not necessarily great. The port is duty free and there is no sales tax. Sooooo, after some brief consideration, I purchased a new blue ceramic Seamaster.I've been eyeing this model for a while now and decided to pull the trigger.I got a decent deal on it and even got a nice Omega cap thrown in. Love SWAG!Here is is:

In praise of the Aquanaut, a review
Hi all,Recently I've been seeing a renewed interest in the Aquanaut so I thought I would post a quick review.I've worn my 5165 on a tropical strap nearly every day at the office for more than three years. During that time it has accumulated the expected scuffs, swirls and minor scratches, particularly on the bezel and clasp. Nothing I can't live with and none that distract from the overall good looks of this reference. The case is a well thought-out design with crown protectors and graceful lugs. It has just the right amount of contrast between polished and brushed surfaces.Because the watch is on the tropical strap it is supremely light. Some might consider its lightweight and thinness as a drawback, but for me it is perfect. The tropical strap merges seamlessly into the case making it look unique to most other watches. Whatever material it is made from, some type of rubber I suspect, it is suitable for all types of weather. If you sweat a lot in the summer this strap is fantastic. Af

Who says it is too thick to fit under a dress shirt cuff?Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Just picked up my new Seadweller 43 to complete my collection (for now) I love the size of it and the wider Oyster bracelet:
