Hamilton Evokes its Aviation Heritage with New Khaki Pilot Pioneer Pilots’ Watches
Hamilton Watch Co., founded in 1892 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, began making watches for pilots shortly thereafter, in 1919. The brand’s new collection of pilots’ watches, called Khaki Pilot Pioneer Auto Chrono, bears the influence of its early aviation watches. WatchTime got a close-up look at the watches at the EAA Airventure in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, “the world’s greatest aviation celebration.”Hamilton watches have been a staple of aviation since the early 20th century, when they were used to time the first American airmail service, and by the 1930s had become the official watch of the TWA, Eastern, United, and Northwest commercial airlines. Hamilton was a partner in the first American coast to coast air services and, in the 1920s, its Hamilton 992 model made history as the watch worn by Admiral Byrd in his flights over the North and South Poles. In recent years, Hamilton became a timekeeping sponsor of the EAA AirVenture event �� America’s largest ga

Unexpectedly back in Breitling!
Hi everyone, just wanted to share a little story of how I ended up back in Breitling after about 9 years of absence. Firstly, I had been focused on adding to my panerai collection with a radiomir 292, I have been admiring this watch for some time. Anyway, I had been in Orlando for a week with my young family doing the whole Disney World experience which was amazing and on shopping adventures my wife and I ended up at a AD of panerai, which happened to have a 292, which I tried on and was somewhat disappointed with my reaction. I wasn't thrilled about it on my wrist. So, back it went on tho the display, then my wife suggested I add another IWC to my collection and looked at the Galapagos which just looked to plasticky for the price.....then she saw the Breitling store and said to take a look. Immediately she scoped out my new purchase the Superocean M2000, with the green accents on the chrono, nice watch and nice wrist presence. Very happy with it so far.

Why are Patek Philippe's aperture wheels not dial-colour-matched?
Why are Patek Philippe's aperture wheels often not dial-colour-matched? Is this explained by legibility, cost-cutting through mass production or with some other rationale?

5164 for 116619 (Smurf) ???
Hello all,My current small stable consists of a 5980r (gold on croc), 5164, 15202 and 116610lnI like the 5164 and it wears quite well but I'm toying with the idea of flipping it for a 116619 Smurf. I do like the 116613 but simply cannot pull of the all gold look at the office and while its a great piece I would be extremely limited in when I can wear it.I feel that the Smurf may be quite versatile and I would most likely move the 116610 (as having both is a bit redundant for me)...not sure what I would then do as a travel/beat around piece as the 116610 serves that role quite well now.I would appreciate hearing any thoughts on the above. I'm open to to suggestions as well on what to replace the 116610 with if I make this move.TIA !

London Exhibition - many photos!
Hi allI was fortunate to attend a private party last night and it is a fantastic exhibition! I was in fact so busy looking at the watches, chatting and taking pictures that I missed out on supper lol. It really was amazing and I thought I would share some pictures of some watches that we don't see everyday. There was one watch that one guest let me take a picture of (the only wrist shot). It was stunning in reality, does anyone have any details about it? The owner told me only four were made. Have a great weekend. CheersAnujSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
