Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 1 Watch: Homage To Star Wars' Tusken Raiders?
Is it weird that I sometimes compare watches with things I know in pop culture? I find it especially gratifying to compare exclusive multi-hundred thousand dollar timepieces with such plebeian pop culture essentials as the Tusken Raider Sand People from the Star Wars universe. Really though, look at the face of this Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon No. 1 and tell me that it does not (at least vaguely) remind you of the face of the Sand People (Person?). I see the axis points of the two tourbillon escapements akin to the eyes, and the dial as being similar to the circular Sand Person desert mask mouth.

Similarly I admire the ROC, but I'm not a great chrono user so for me it really just reduces the desirable simplicity of the classic three hand RO.Rolex on the other hand is a brand I greatly admire, but don't really love (partly because of their often crass marketing, partly because of

I took a macro shot today. Just got the macro lenses and was playing around with it. Thought I'd share. Also, put it on the rubber strap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
