Contemporary Pop Art In The Alexander Shorokoff Lady Avantgarde Watch
This limited edition watch for women by German Alexander Shorokoff reminds me of my youth. Usually watches seem to remind other people of their youth, but when I saw this watch my mind began to wander to being in a kid in the 1980s and 1990s. No, not because I used to wear women's watch. It is the art.A large part of my watch fascination comes from being an art lover. Watches are art. They are tools first, but they are tools with artistic real estate. Appreciation of good design and quality aesthetics drives a lot of my commentary. This watch will repulse some and entertain others, but in my eyes it reminds me of cartoons. Back in the 1980s colorful geometric art became really popular. A lot of this had to do with the start of computerized design and graphics slowly taking over hand-drawn work.

The Panerai look......Why sometimes you can't see the forest through the trees.
I must confess, for years I couldn't see any appeal of the Panetai style. They looked too plain and that strange Luminor crown lock. I was wearing mainly Rolex and dive watches with turntable bezels or three dial chronographs. Fast forward 10 years and one day I saw the Panerai on the silver screen and thought that design was really functional looking and not too bad. In fact, that dial was so simply clean, almost like a minimalist painting. The less is more couldn't ring more true. It was like the first time when you understood what art could be. A few years went by and Rolex was releasing more busy dials with gratuitous wording every where they could put it. Breitling was even worse. They looked busy and cluttered up like a billboard. That's when I had a moment of clarity and remembered that Panerai on the silver screen. I actually dug out the old Eraser DVD to view the watch on my 70 flat screen. Pausing the watch, I studied the design and thought it was pure genius

To Wind or Not To Wind...
Good evening, all! I'm new here and I'm sure there are past posts about this, but I thought I would ask all of you. To wind or not to wind? I currently have an 116610LN, 116718BLNR, and a PAM01320 along with a Wolf Meridian Triple Watch Winder. Would appreciate and love any opinions and advice. Thank you in advance!
