Swatch Group Founder Nicolas Hayek Dies: Ends Era Of Watch Making Rebirth
A sad day yesterday (June 28, 2010) in the watch world. The most notable figure in the world of Swiss watches died. Nicolas Hayek died suddenly while he was in his office at work of heart failure. He was 82 years old, and worked diligently until his last moments - doing what he loved. We should all be so lucky. He saved the Swiss watch industry in the 1980s, and carried it through to today. His legacy is massive, and his current work was to further protect and devise ways to invigorate his beloved industry. A genius, no person can fill his shoes. No one can further his work in the same way. He was the father of the modern horology scene as we know it. Only time will tell how things will proceed without his guidance and learned (though often unorthodox) views and methods.Read more in my notice on Nicolas Hayek's passing here on Luxistwatches-dealer.

aBlogtoRead.com Celebrates Over 300 Articles Published: Now Go Read Them All
I wish I could say that it was a struggle and that the elements were against me. The truth is that most of my writing has flowed smoothly from my fingers to your screen. With lots more to write about each day, my only limitation is time and your attention span. If I could write full time about watches, and perhaps other items of interest; I would gladly.So unlike the battles in the movie 300, my personal 300 have been easier to accomplish, and with far fewer special effects. Though I am sure painted on abdominal muscles (a la the movie), would have use from time to time.I have no plans of stopping my writing of course, and hope you'll stick around for more. You'll notice typos and minor mistakes from time to time in the articles. I apologize for this, it is the trade-off of writing so frequently and with such organic composure. It is either ultra-polished content when I get around to it, or the words directly from my thoughts as they flow, allowing for the frequency with which I post.

If you could choose one Nautilus and one Rolex Sub, which combo would you choose?

359 new shoes.
Finished making the denim strap for my 359 this afternoon. Quite pleased with the result, the wife will be miffed when she finds out I cut her jeans up to make it. Sent by Taptalk from my phone which rather annoyingly and randomly rotates my pictures the wrong way around whenever it takes a fancy. I am sure the damn things got a mind of its own. :-(
