Well we seem to have a WRUW thread for most things, so how about a WRUW today that is a good old manual wind watch??

IMO nothing beats winding a watch to make you feel part of the whole Horological experience!

So I’ll start.

Today i’m Wearing one of my favourite watches, the Panerai 000, or Zero as it’s affectionately known amongst the Paneristi.

Inside is a good old 6497 pocket watch movement, that is a bit industrial to wind, but feels solid and makes a nice…

*****What Hand cranker are you wearing today??*****

I am a skeleton man! Gears, levers, springs… That’s what I’m talking about!!

For me, that’s how it all started, my infatuation with watches. A gifted Seiko 5 with an exhibition back led to purchase of my first mechanical watch ever, a true skeleton…. And down the rabbit hole I went.

I know some of you’ve got them… It’s time to take them out of the closet!
