Hysek Earth Colosso Is A Weird Wonderful Watch Completely Out Of Place In Today's Market
I am afraid that the current state of the watch industry is not primed to appreciate watches like the Hysek Colosso. Today, fashion, looks, and style are very important. In essence, most of the emphasis is placed on offering watches to the super rich that look good. That is not always the case of course, and we still see interesting beasts like the Hysek Colosso.Seeing the Colosso reminds me of the DeWitt WX-1 Concept watch. Not because they look the same, but because they are bred from the same ilk. Two technically inclined science fiction watches meant for a very small number of enthusiasts. Each year you see a couple of watches like this which are debuted at Basel World, but this is certainly a very interesting model, from Hysek which is not typically a company to release such grand example of watch excess.The Colosso is really not a very pretty watch. While it does not have an offensive shape or anything like that, it looks like a planetary spaceship (literally to carry the planet)

Omega Master Co-Axial
Reading through ABTW's article (for the second or third time) on the new Seamaster AT Master Co-Axial (.ablogtowatch/omega-se...watches-hands/), I cannot get over how impressive the new Master Co-Axial movements are and Omega's goal to bring these new movements to all of their watches (that have the in-house movements, of course) by 2016. Although 15,000 gauss anti-magnetic resistance isn't the the most useful feature, I think it is a step in the right direction in terms of bringing mechanical movements into the 21st century and definitely the right move for Omega. Does anybody else feel the same way? Honestly, I'm surprised that there isn't more talk about this. The thought of a Speedy 9300 Master Co-Axial just makes my mouth water. I am definitely looking forward to seeing what Omega comes out with in the next two years. Ok, enough of my rambling.

Patek QC issues...
My Nautilus has a clean bill of health from Professor Chaos. Dial and movement are perfect and no scratches on the bracelet or case.
