Ikepod Thunderbird Chronograph: Quality Watch To Compliment A Not So Quality Car
Ikepod is the watch brand behind industrial designer genius Marc Newson (from Australia). Ikepod watches each have a monocoque cases which means that the entire movement and dial are inside one unified piece of metal (for the most part). The look is a hip looking bulbous orb that looks like a "time" capsule on the wrist. While by no means inexpensive, you get a true "designer" look with Ikepod watches, which stress form and function.A few years ago when Ford re-released the Thunderbird, they commissioned Ikepod to create a limited edition series of watches for the release. Apparently Ford realized that the target audience for the attractive to look at, not so fun to drive coupe would be aging Americans who perhaps had fond memories of the originals. Likewise, this demographic might be into fine watches, so the connection seemed logical. Whatever Ford was thinking, the Ikepod Thunderbird watches do the T-Bird's heritage justice.

Two Heirloom Watches Given To Me Today
Excuse the crappy mobile phone pic. Sent to me by my 81 year old uncle in Oklahoma. The Bulova is one he bought in 1953 while in the Air Force in Oklahoma. He also says it was the watch he was married in. The other watch is marked "Cornell" and "Incablock" and "swiss". This watched belonged to his wife's late husband who had died in an auto accident in the early 50's, The crystal on the Cornell has some shattering in the center and both watches probably need serviced but both have been keeping good time all day. Does anyone know the model name of the Bulova or ANYTHING at all about the Cornell? Thanks watches2.jpg

Planet Ocean + Blacklight = Orange Lume?!
Today, I went to the Hong Kong Science Museum (great, but not quite as good as the one in Vancouver, Canada). They had a special exhibit featuring deep-sea animals, and one area with a blacklight for fishes that are bio-luminescent. When I went in, I glanced at my watch and thought I was wearing a Ball tritium watch! (Then sadly, realized that I don't own one yet.)I am well aware that UV blacklights cause lume to glow (ala cosmic bowling), but I had never worn my PO under a blacklight before, and was surprised to see that the tip of the seconds hand was glowing bright orange as well.I'm an amateur, but what causes that? A special fluorescent pigment in the paint? Perhaps it would be an easy way to easily sniff out the fake POs which admittedly are becoming scary-good nowadays.Anyway, nice lume shot...so bright without extended exposure. I love blacklights.
