Watch reviews, comment – and more!
As indicated elsewhere, I really do not buy peculiar/quirky watches. However, on a fairly recent trip to an antiques market I noticed a real oddity which shrieked 60s/70s style in spades. In the cabinet there was also a useful information sheet and this imparted a story that I was frankly …
Firstly, a quick comment on this new section. I decided that I needed another category in order to report on any topics that did not fit into existing titles, plus, any updates on previously covered watches or items. On the latter, I could have just tagged on a P.S. to …
I collect quite a few things but pens is not one of them. Sure, I had to write with a fountain pen at school but to be honest it was a real pain in the behind. My pen – a Parker of some sort (I still have somewhere) was scratchy …
I swear to God that I cannot quite recall how I came across this watch. I think I was investigating something else on Chrono 24, but the dealer had other pieces on the site so I may have just gravitated to these. Anyway, I was frankly blown away by the …
I will be be honest: I am not an overly enthusiastic New Year’s eve reveller. The older one becomes, the passing of another year is, well, somewhat deflating rather than inflating. As such, I decided some years ago to do exactly what I wanted over this period, in a bid …

One of my more pleasant past-times is to mooch around antique shops/centres, and, calling into one near me the other day, I noticed a few watches in a glass cabinet. Of particular interest was an Avia chronograph of probably mid-sixties vintage. I was particularly drawn to the very appealing dial, …
I have said before that I am no watch snob, and this is evidenced by some of the cheaper (affordable) watches I have in my collection. In the main, these either have an interesting story to tell or an innovation that appeals. So, over the past year or so I …
A couple of months ago I was in York and passed the window front of one of the larger watch/jewellery retailers. As usual, my pace slowed and my eyes automatically scanned the window for anything interesting. On this occasion my orbits were arrested by two things; a flash of gold …
As readers may have noticed, I have been at sixes and sevens of late abode-wise. This has caused a major hiatus in various ways – including neglecting Watchlogic matters. Whilst I am not yet in my “forever” lodgings, I am now at least in the place I want to be …
