Lorier Olympia "Contrasto" showed up on Friday. LOVE it! Vertical clutch column wheel NE88 (Seiko 8R48) movement, 28,800vph (4Hz, 8ticks/sec). I've been looking for a watch with this movement for a few months. The Seikos look good, b...

I wore the Pogue with the chronograph continuously running for a couple of days straight to see if there is any effect on accuracy and/or power reserve. -46s after one day, another -52s (-98s total) after day two. Previously I had measured about -27s...

I have a Bulova JetStar and a Certina DS-2 Precidrive chronograph and they both keep time to with 1s between going in/out of Daylight Savings Time (the stupidest idea ever). Anyway, I was wondering if either of these watches are considered "HAQ&q...
