Weird Watch Art By Dominic Wilcox
From time-to-time we come across art inspired by, or placed directly inside of, a watch or clock. An watches-dealer reader was nice enough to share with us the work of UK-born and -based Dominic Wilcox, who, among other things, has made wrist and pocket watch dials a palette for artistic expression.Wilcox calls these creations "Watch Sculptures" and they start with vintage wrist and pocket watches that he has acquired. The first step is removing the crystal and replacing them with a tall dome to make room for the small sculptures and figurines that he creates. Wilcox claims to be inspired by both real and imagined situations, and uses the motion of the watch hands as part of the art. The figurines are literally placed on the watch hands.Speaking strictly from a technical standpoint we would not recommend that anyone do this with a watch they wanted to keep good time. While the hands may move with the additional weight, there is no chance that the extra pressure on the movement would al

Introducing the BR 126 Sport Heritage GMT & Flyback, A Modern Favorite With A Twist
To all those with frequent flyer miles, here is an interesting update: The Bell & Ross BR 126 Heritage Sport GMT & Flyback. Before we get into analysis, let’s take a short, philosophical flight into Bell & Ross’s venture – one that is often the subject of scrutiny by watch…purists.There’s no denying the widespread vintage appeal that has recently consumed the watch-market. Throwbacks are on the rise as watch lovers dig deeper into history and appreciate the genesis of timekeeping. Many brands bring us re-issues of their most memorable models from the last century. But, what about watches that weren’t alive in the 50s and 60s? What about watches that never struggled through the quartz revolution? We like pedigree as much as the next guys, but the reality is that these youngster-brands were raised in a world of abundant water resistance and astronavigation.Bell & Ross is one of these 90s kids. It can’t bring you re-issues, becau

What to buy, next step?
Hi guys, a new comer to the Patek world, I really enjoy the design and fit of the Patek watches. As some might know, I am currently wearing a 5167A as my daily beater. And I also have a 5235G just arrived 2 days ago. Next week, I am expecting to receive my long waited 5712/1A. I originally plan to acquire 5726/1A or 5726A then 5980R from AD (depending on availability). But after having 3 PPs in 4 months. I started wondering if I do want more than 2 Nautilus (I will have a 5711/1A coming early next yr). Should I widen my scope to have some traditional styles? I currently have AP 15202ST, PP 5130P, 5270G (BLK), 5960/1A and 5524G in mind. I probably will not consider buy a GC watch in the very near future. Your advices are well appreciated.
