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)

It's actually a centuries-old misprint

Alexander the Great was also called Alexander III of "Mackereldom"

As he was a fish

In watch news Rolex, Tudor, Patek Phillipe, Chanel, and Chopard have all left Baselworld and will be doing their own show in collaboration with FHH in 2021

Remains to be seen if blackjack and hookers are involved

really wrinkles me brain how humpty dumpty is never referred to as an egg but we all know he is one

swiss observatories in 1967/8: you can't just waltz in here with a non-swiss made movement and win all our competitions for watch movement accuracy!

seiko: haha rock go brr

(the swiss stopped having competitions for watch accuracy after seiko wandered in with quartz movements and won fucking everything)

I wonder if the preppers/survivalists are having a good time or if they're just as bored as the rest of us

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY COMPUTERFAIRIES! 🎉

or courting

honestly hard to tell

this is what hedgehogs having an argument sounds like

seriously, this thing is so incredibly complicated the fact that it has a tourbillon is at the bottom of the feature list

'cause of course it has a tourbillon

oh yeah, the easter complication? it's in both the julian and gregorian calendars, which gives two different possible dates

'cause at this point why the hell not

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

I got a lot of my watch collection from the sacrifice of a messiah

You see, Jesus died for my Sinns

it's bunny day

appreciate bunnies

as a brit the "global south" is anything south of portsmouth

take that world bank!

I'd include a big disclaimer on why exactly not to take any of this toot seriously as medical advice but quite frankly if you've decided taking medical advice from an octopus on the internet is a good idea then you've got bigger problems that a disclaimer won't help
