Stemming from the oft queried questions of 'How many watches should I take with me on vacation?' and 'Should/Shouldn't I declare what I buy?' we get this lovely gem coming out of Indian Customs & Immigration:

$1700 as a penalty for crossing through the wrong immigration channel…

Customs Nightmares During Travel

Not MY grail, mind But it's my Toddler Son's Grail.

I suspect he'd have have been disappointed if I opted for something like the VC Overseas instead

Figured I’d start this thread, for anyone(s) interested to follow the restoral of a family heirloom pocket watch. This has been a labor of love for me, insofar as I’ve been trying to get it done. The work needed is beyond by capacity, and with two tiny terrors roaming the halls, I don’t really get the peace and free time to attack the work myself as a passion project. But, I presume SOMEONE else out there is interested in seeing the story

The train has been going hard the last few years, and Swatch has beaten it into the ground, but it seems like they aren't done yet with finding new ways to keep the MoonSwatch Line relevant. Introducing, Mission to Earthphase:

Getting the annoyance out of the way that the Chronograph function of this watch is more-or-less rendered useless now (they may…

MoonSwatch: Mission to Earthphase – finally the one that interests the most?

Not usually one to go out of my way post videos from vloggers, but this Teddy Baldassarre video popped up on my feed and I clicked to view. Wasn't disappointed

She's only 6MO and the sickness appears imminent!

And yes, I'm aware I got my foot in the second pic. I was focused on a different subject

Was doomscrolling Facebook earlier this morning seeing as I was up all night with a business project and someone from the HMT Collectors Page posted the following:

Wasn't sure if I was just seeing a late April Fools Hoax or something, so I figured there was no harm in digging online on HMT's page, and sure enough:

Well, I wasn't prepared for THAT!

Not sure it's my cup of tea, but creating a Blackout Watch with a tactile dial is an interestingly entertaining prospect at the very least

Introduction:

So many posts are made on these forums by people looking to mark, or celebrate special occasions with a new watch – birth of a child, graduation, milestone birthdays. And while no one should ever be denied their justification for wanting a new watch, it got me thinking about how I have never worried about getting new watches for commemorative purposes. In fact, the only watch I have that is/was a commemorative watch is the Titan Edge my parents…

A 34 Year Retrospective: The Watches that are Remembered, and the Memories that Make Them

Color me excited if the pricetag holds when these (hopefully) become available in the USA. The green dial in particular, captures my heart!
