Watch reviews, comment – and more!
Since my last post a couple things have occurred – the main one being that I now have a date for my operation – early July. I shall probably not comment further until after the event! Another is that I have treated myself to a new watch – and I …
I have been quiet for a little while – alas, due to both ill-health and simply a lack of material. Anyway, whilst I am awaiting a pretty major operation soon, I felt it was time to put pen to paper again. Whilst considering what to do, I went through all …
I mentioned in the earlier Lanvin piece that I had purchased a second watch. Well, it was this one. I was drawn to it as it demonstrated an attractive simplicity – especially for a smallish-cased GMT. It had a good service record and came with all accompaniments. I also felt …
Sorry, but once again I succumbed to a couple of recent purchases from James Kibble. In my defense, I had not bought anything this year, plus, I felt a need to cheer myself up as I have had some irksome health problems this year – including latterly a dose of …

Having a need to investigate some new watches for a change, I decided to call in at my chums at Berry’s in York. I had in fact pre-warned the manager, Michael, a few days before, and as usual, he was very accommodating. Such visits are only occasional and I do …
Toying with penning something new, and rummaging through my collection, it occurred to me that I had not written about a purchase I made a couple of years ago from Kibble watches. Not sure why really, as by any measure, the Zodiac Astrographic is both an interesting and striking time …
Before proceeding, I just wish to comment on my watch sale activities. As readers may know, I have been reducing my watch collection over the past year or so, as frankly things were out of control! Numbering at some 50 (well, that’s what I am admitting to) there was no …
