Ooh, neat

New version of the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere in blue

One of the very few world time watches that acknowledges the southern hemisphere exists

Seriously, that's one of my pet peeves, on like 95% of world time watches they don't bother displaying the southern hemisphere and it annoys the crap out of me

I've just seen a picture of that french guy that did that hydroxychoroquine "study" and oh my god he looks exactly like you'd expect him to

Ooh, new Seiko releases!

Two new standard production watches, basically reincarnations of the Captain Willard

There was a limited edition release of something very similar last year but it's nice to see them in standard production (and at standard production prices, that limited edition was EXPENSIVE)

Technically I should be posting about this next week, but eh, close enough

This is the Konstantin Chaykin Moscow Comptus Easter Clock

This thing has 26 different indications on it, including the date of orthodox easter, starmap, analemma, and length of day

It's incredible

The Queen did her speech to the nation while wearing green

This has resulted in exactly what you'd expect

(collection of images follows, all showing the Queen photoshopped to be wearing various t-shirts)

Wristwatch made of grade 5 titanium, very innovative bracelet design, water resistant to 600 ATM, and just generally looks like you could drive a tank over it and not cause any damage

Hella expensive though

Sinn also make a watch designed for firefighters

This is the EZM 7, the colour coded sections on the bezel display the amount of time firefighters can operate using various types of specialised breathing equipment

It also features their temperature resistant oils which improves rate stability at extreme temperatures

Some of the watch blogs are posting articles on the Sinn EZM 12 because of... current events, so fuck it, here we go

This is the Sinn EZM 12, a super cool watch they released a few years ago, designed for use by emergency medical personnel

It's got two timing bezels, one of which is marked with the "golden hour" and "platinum ten minutes" which I'm informed means something to medical people

It's also got a pulsometer and is really easy to take apart and sterilise with minimal tools

one of our hedgies has decided to accessorise their outfit with some leaves!

also, bonus magpie

I see they're getting ready to set stonehenge forward an hour for british summer time
