Also the 556 with a red second hand is part of the official collection now, rather than a super secret special order option

NEW SINN WATCHES! 🎉

U50 series, basically a new, smaller version of the U1 line, 41mm case size, water resistant to 50 bar, comes in plain steel, plain steel case with PVD and TEGEMENT bezel, or full PVD and TEGIMENT

1739 series, new line of "classic" watches, 39mm case size, three different dial options, sunburst silver with gold indices, sunburst black with rhodium indices, and a relief dial

High capacity microSD cards kinda freak me out

It's the storage density

Like, which eldritch abomination did you have to form a pact with to get all those ones and zeroes in such an itty bitty space

there's also this which is a tide-time bezel but I've only ever seen that on this particular model of Sinn

Super cool though, even if it's of no use to me whatsoever

one that's missing is the Doxa-style ND bezel but that's incredibly niche and is basically just a count-up bezel with an extra bit around the edge for no decompression times

Ever wondered what the things around a watch face are for?

Mark from Long Island Watch made a good video on what all the different bezels do and how to use them

neighbors wanted a hedgehog house

so I built them a hedgehog house

Cleaning out one of the hedgehog cafes and discovered one of them managed to shit half way up the wall

Like, full on shit, hanging on the side of the wall

HOW?!

THEIR LITTLE HEDGIE BUTTS DON'T EVEN GO THAT HIGH!

I ASK AGAIN, HOW?!

You know all those sci-fi/horror movies where the entire thing only happens because one moron doesn't follow proper quarantine protocols despite knowing a containment breach could end the goddamn world?

Yeah, I'm no longer listing that as a plot hole

Holy crap they're actually selling these

This is the Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept

It was a concept watch unveiled in 2018 but now they're selling them

Extremely small-scale production, like 3 per year

It's the world's thinnest watch at 2mm thick

Yeah, just 2mm

Aw hell yeah

NEW LANGES

Does anyone want to buy a kidney? 'cause I am loving this Odysseus in white gold with a rubber strap

Please don't ask where the kidney came from

apparently the EDL and stephen yaxley-lennon have been banned from tiktok

I have no idea what they were doing on tiktok

Cartier have been putting in some work

They've got the new Maillon de Cartier line which we already knew about (and look fantastic)

Six models of the Tank Asymetrique, three of which are skeletonised

Seven new models of the Santos-Dumont, 4 of which are limited editions

A relaunch of the Pasha

And a new Santos de Cartier in all black DLC

They are not messing around this year

Okay, I thought nothing could surprise me any more but nope, there it is

first off, this is fediverse-only so keep schtum, don't want this spreading to the muggles

With bags of flour in shops being a distant memory, here's a tip

Get bags of oats. I know this sounds like a fedi meme but seriously, oats

Put 'em in a food processor/blender/mortar and pestle/rub 'em between two rocks and you get oat flour

You can use that to bake stuff

It's also gluten-free if that matters to you
