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

let they who have no bad takes toot the first meta

It's well known that Proudhon would only drink herbal tisanes

Because proper tea is theft

Huh, TIL the Avesta, the Zoroastrian holy scriptures, specifically calls out hedgehogs as being good

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

The original Seiko 6105 is called the "Captain Willard" because Martin Sheen famously wore one in Apocalypse Now

Ooh, new Seiko releases!

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

It's actually a centuries-old misprint

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

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

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!

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
