Did You Hear That Pocket Watches Are Back? Yea, They Are Also Called Phones
The move from pocket watch to wrist watch in the early 20th century heralded a big move to the "active" person being able to tell the time. Pocket watches, while classy, sat in your pocket or coat until you could pull them out, open them, and check the time. The advent of the wrist watch gave you the ability to check the time easily at a glance without having to use your hands. Wrist watches are more convenient, and arguably more stylish.Today pocket watches, while still made in limited numbers, are mostly collectors or novelty items. Very few people actually carry pocket watches anymore. By far, most people who want to know what time it is, wear a watch. But things are changing to a degree, and I am not sure if it is for the best.The proliferation of the ubiquitous mobile phone has for some people, rendered the need for a wrist watch unnecessary. They indicate that the ability to see what time it is on their phone means they don't need a watch. While it is true that phones have clocks

Introduction and some Breitling,maybe one of the least sold models of the past decade
Hi,I'm Jack, from the Netherlands. I've been wearing Rolex for the past 15 years, I came across this watch and I really like it though the rotor is noisy now and then.The lume shot is a little blurry but in time I'll make a good picture of that.Jack

Visit to Hammy AD
Yesterday after lunch, the wife and I dropped by the only Hamilton AD in the immediate area for a look-see. We were the only customers and the young man who waited on us turned out to be a watch junkie like me. He eagerly hauled out every Hamilton they had, which didn't include the large Boulton I wanted to see in person, but some interesting pieces such as the Viewmatic, two Venturas (regular and chrono), a power reserve, etc. He said if I wanted, they would order a Boulton for me, and if I didn't like it Hamilton would take it back, no obligation. I may do that. The Hamiltons I saw in person are more impressive than in even good photos. This experience is why I greatly prefer to deal directly with an AD.
