Hamilton Celebrates 120 Years With Exhibit at New York’s Tourneau Time Machine

All items are either from Hamilton¡¯s archives or on loan from the NAW

Time For A Convertible: Watches With More Than One Face
Convertible cars are always those that have a folding down top. People associate the term with wearing sunglasses, breezes that increase with a vehicle's speed, and mid-life crisis time. Though when you think about it, the term convertible just means "changeable." Convertible couches are ones that turn into beds for example. And convertible watches are those that turn into something else. There are dozens of convertible watch styles and types. Many of them function to change the look of the watch or dial in some way. Others provide new uses for a wrist watch - such as turning it into a pocket watch. This overview article will simply go over some of the more interesting or famous convertible watch. Most of the seriously sophisticated convertible watches are a modern phenomenon, but the concept has been around for a long time. Just think about how much the look of a watch changes when you merely change the strap.Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso WatchesThe original Reverso flipped its case around

SOTC - first one!
I've been here for nearly a year, and in that time my collection has grown quite a bit! Since it will be a few months before my next addition I thought that now would be a good time to do a State Of The Collection (SOTC) post. I have never done one before, so I'll just feel out how best to do it as I go along.I guess I might as well start with what got me to this point before jumping in to the watches. I remember getting my first watch when I was 5 years old. We were living in England at the time and my parents promised that they would buy me a watch when I learned to tell the time properly. Well, I learned around the time we went on a campervan tour through Europe, so while we were in Switzerland they bought me my first watch! I still have it in a drawer, the crystal is a bit scratched and it no longer runs and it doesn't have a strap any more, but it is still there.Through the years I always loved watches and took every opportunity to stare in shop windows at the watches. I got a Sei

Walking the White Side...PAM 113
I shared my new rugged Pam 024 Submersible, now for the more refined Panerai PAM 113. I¡¯m a sucker for White Dials, so out went my white IWC AT 2000 and in comes its replacement the PAM 113. The dial is a Bright White which I love, the filter I used soften the dial color a bit. I almost grabbed a Pam 114 but I kept leaning towards having the third hand so the 113 it was! Now I'm going strap crazy and must reign myself in!
