All the earlier shots were with my CyberShot and after a good nights sleep, I decided to take the EOS out and test my photography skills, mind you no tripod (sadly)...







...and a close up of the c.1863 movement. It's gorgeous up close while active...

On another note, here's a very attractive limited edition Speedy XV,



Shame the bracelet isn't two-tone as well, but it would look v. nice on a black leather strap (maybe Hirch?)

great post, I've got tears in my eyes.

Thank you.

I remember those watches well when I went to school

[IBM]

I had one of these

[ikonia]

I did too, in black !!!!

thank you for that memory

[IBM]

My pleasure. I had the black one first, and then the silver one after the first one broke. My favourite watch of all time...I think I bought it with money from my paperround....

Ah leave him alone, lol, the man clearly loves his watches, just because its not a "normal" fetish to have at least he has a hobbie thats interesting; I'd personally like to know why you're so infatuated with them.

I collect pocket watches So I sorta understand

Seems like there aren't many people here that enjoy or appreciate this kind of thing, o' well - was interested to see if there *were* anyone else here!

Well, me for a start. I'm interested.

I find it interesting to see what other people like .... if only because it's generally watches that don't appeal to me at all.

I don't see the problem with watch threads. Like most other things, if it's a thread about something that doesn't interest me, I either don't open it or I back out pretty quickly when I realise what it's about.

As for that watch, Mike, it's not quite my taste, but it's certainly closer to it than many I've seen.

I bought a watch this week:

I'm pretty sure I had the exact same one about 20 years ago

Can't beat it, tells the time, stopwatch, backlight, job done
