Boy, am I in deep mess here. I'm in love with another man's watch. This Tissot Navigator belongs to my watchmaker. It came to me after he couldn't get the crown stem in without the yoke slipping out of the clutch wheel. I thought that I could do it, but the same issue happened to… Continue reading One night stand: Tissot Navigator 44646-1X
I remember the day, the 20th of March, when I lost my virginity. I remember it mostly because of the insane copulation, but also because it was something like three weeks ago. I needed to check all the boxes. Mommy didn't want to be disappointed. I was dressed well, my teeth glistened in the light… Continue reading The watch I wore when I lost my virginity
Inspiration is hard to come by. Actually, it isn't, but proper inspiration is quite scarce. Writing is an escape for me. Writing is what I do to get rid of those annoying emotions that make me want to take up smoking. Now what the f*** do I write about? Life is only as mundane as… Continue reading A column about nothing
In today's post I explain why Nico Leonard is actually the Antichrist Superstar, how an undercover sting operation runs most of watch Reddit, and why making a young lady pregnant is the ultimate step in watch collecting.
Greg: Here is my topic du jour: What watch do you own that you have “fallen out of love with”? Why do you think that you have? And what do you plan to do about it? Mine is my Chaika Stadium watch. A couple of years ago I went on a Soviet watch kick. I… Continue reading It’s not you, it’s the Round Table (No. 11)
The only thing Valentine's day is good for is an increase in body oil and body glitter sales. I'm considering investing in those two areas; I'll make a blooming fortune. Second-hand handcuff prices also usually go up. Don't ask me why or how I know, but consider this as investment advice for next year. I… Continue reading The Valentine’s Special
(What follows is not about watches. I could have tried a weak attempt to make some watch related reference, but it would have been transparently bad. At all historical times alluded to below you may assume that I wore a Fossil "Blue" with a green dial and a yellow fixed bezel. I am not ready… Continue reading A Man of His Time
My uncle owns a civil engineering firm. He's an awesome guy and my dad visits him regularly. I don't visit him regularly, which is a bit of a problem. He is one of those men that in a perfect world every young man should have access to. He is full of jest and doesn't take… Continue reading Lessons from an engineer and bladesmith to a hobbyist watchmaker
You're at a cocktail party. You've got a neat suit/dress on and you're having a great time. Then you remember that your stew is still going in the slow cooker at home. Uh oh, you need to tell the time! You decided to be all vintage and elegant so decided to wear a pocket watch.… Continue reading Picture this…
I've long talked about this watch, everything from its exact date of purchase to its sentimental value. The whole story is split up in so many different posts and comments that it's probably not the easiest thing to piece together. Nobody asked for this, but here we go... December 31st was slightly overcast if I… Continue reading The Full Story of My Camy Club-Star
