Ooh, this is nice

The new Guinand Starfighter Pilot

Bicompax chrono heavily inspired by the ones Heuer made for the Bundeswehr in the 60's

I'm a sucker for a good pilot's watch, also a sucker for a good German watch, and this is both

Brown Sauce: it's made of brown

this is interesting, the new Swatch Flymagic

Uses the new Nivachron hairsprings that the Swatch Group have been developing which are anti-magnetic, anti-shock, and temperature resistant

To put more focus on what they've done with it they reversed the movement in the case to show it off which results in the transparent rotor being above the dial and the seconds hand going backwards

he's a very good cat though

Now, if the trophy was a really fancy one of these then I'd fully understand, but it's not, the trophy for the superbowl is an elongated spheroid on a stick

Just came across this image

Are... are the Germans okay?

Cartier are really knocking it out of the park with their revamp of the Santos collection, the new Santos Chronograph is very nice indeed

Single Start/Stop pusher on the left, Reset pusher is integrated into the crown on the right

Only available in the XL format though, which might be a bit too big on some people

Yes, it's covered in live plants

Because H. Moser & Cie do not have a single fuck to give

these are Sri Lankan Frogmouths

oooooohhhh

for carving things like spoons or bowls out of wood it's usually suggested that you use something called a "hook knife" to get the round sort of hollow shape

they cost about 20 quid

I didn't want to spend 20 quid, so I got a set of 3 ring spanners from poundland and spent some time with a dremel (other rotary tools are available) and made this ring knife type thingy that does the job fine

the label for Peat Monster whisky is fantastic

inkling maker thing!
