Harwood, Original Maker Of The Automatic Wrist Watch Resurfaces: Look Past Lukewarm Looks For Interesting Designs
If you ever wanted to know who the original maker of the automatic wrist watch was, it was Harwood, a British watch company. They didn't invent the automatic winding mechanism, that was done previously in pocket watches, but they were the first to bring them to the wrist watch with a patent in 1924. Founder, John Harwood was a soldier in World War 1 and a watch maker. He wanted to create a watch that could withstand the elements better, as well as make it more convenient. He understood that constantly winding a hand-wound watch exposed it to lots of dust and other types of wear. Thus, it seemed an obvious solution to bring automatic winding via an internal rotor to the wrist watch. The design of which needed to be miniaturized and modified to work best on the wrist, rather than the pocket. In addition, Harwood created an interesting crownless, bezel adjustment system.Well that was history, and since then Harwood watches went the way of so many other watch makers. Now, after many years,

Aqua Terra 2812 & 2503 people chime in!
Google lead me to this site a few days ago and I've read a bunch of threads since. I was wondering if more AT enthusiasts would put up real life pictures of their watches in different leather strap combinations.I went to an AD a few days ago and saw the 2812.30 (white dial/blue markers & hands/brown leather strap) in person - and was blown away by it. The only things holding me back are price (may get the 2503 instead) and the neutrality of the brown leather strap - most of my suits are black/navy/charcoal and I'm a little concerned they may clash with a watch I'll hopefully be wearing every day at work.I've also seen a couple variations here on the ATs usually found online, and they looked really good - for instance, someone posted a pic of a white dial/blue marker AT 2503, but it had a black or dark blue thick-ish leather strap, not the usual SS bracelet. I can't seem to find that post at the moment, but I'm curious what other color/strap variations have worked well in real life
