me: I'm sure 2020 can't confuse me much more
a bunch of french watchmakers carrying eggs: bonjour
Sometimes I feel like I've got a reasonable grip on reality but then something like this comes along and completely throws me
It's a twelve hundred euro watch specially created for timing eggs for egg mayonnaise
They called it the Egg Master
There is no sane universe where this should be a thing
REALITY IS CRUMBLING AROUND ME AND IT IS ALL EGG MAYONNAISE
The MAT Watches Egg Master
It's a watch created for L'Association de Sauvegarde de l'Oeuf Mayonnaise (The Association for the Protection of Egg Mayonnaise)
It has a timer feature to boil the perfect egg

I am not making a single word of this up
considering it's a hemp pattern I'm expecting the green version will be repeatedly set to about 20 past 4
And now in actually interesting watch news, these have been announced by Seiko
Seiko Presage "Sharp Edges" series
Nicely finished, 39mm cases, 6R35 movements
The dial is inspired by a traditional hemp leaf pattern from the Heian period (794-1185) and apparently symbolise growth and prosperity
And you can buy all 4 of them for less than the cost of one of the recent Rolex releases (they're $1,000-ish each)
just "hmm... I see this report, I sentence you to b&" *taps hammer*
yes, I do have way too much fun with this
!
it's @mavica ! in orb form!
the reason it has to be named after a muppet is the fact that the first model of sub that had a black dial and green bezel was nicknamed the Kermit and they want to keep the naming scheme going
I am not making a word of this up
