The Harrison Ford Hamilton Watches
Why oh why can't there be some cool cult watch made popular by being on Harrison Ford's wrist in one of his movies? Seriously, not even Indiana Jones wore a timepiece. That is totally a character that would wear a watch! Something like a Hamilton military watch or similarwhoa! I am getting ahead of myself here.No, Han Solo never wore a wrist instrument either. Ford likely wore watches in other roles while he was running from the FBI, or running after someone as the FBI, but it just isn't the same. So what about his personal life? I don't know the guy but I have heard a few things about him as a watch wearer. First of all, for a long time (perhaps even now) Harrison Ford has been a Rolex man. That makes sense especially since he gained fame in the late 1970s into the 1980s.I also know that Harrison is a hell of a pilot. Not just one of those actors who owns a fleet of planes and thinks they are cool when they fly around a bit with an instructor. No, he takes it seriously and is a legit

Elgin/Lip Came out with the First Electric Watch
Hamilton went commercial with the first electric watch yes...However, Elgin and Lip (France), working together, presented one in 1952 that never went public. Lip started research in 1928, Elgin started in 1946. Hamilton heard about the presentation and immediately began their research....A lengthy but interesting read....scroll down to The electric movements to read about just the electric part of it.people.timezone/msandler/...esLip/Lip.html

15300OR.OO.D088CR.02 do it all watch?
Hello I wanted to get opinions on the 15300OR in rose gold on a strap (white dial) as a watch that I could both dress up and down. Before I tried this watch on yesterday I was looking into a Patek 5296 in white gold as a dress watch. But when I tried this watch on I basically fell in love with it. I had always been hesitant in purchasing a gold watch because of my age (17) I didn’t think that I was old enough to pull off a gold watch. I need a watch that I can use as a dress watch but when I tried this watch on it also felt a slight bit causal. So my question, do you guys think this watch works for both a dress watch and a casual watch or do you think it only does one category well.

Boom ! Clap !!
So I finally got one sealed and to be quiet honest, I'm moderately underwhelmed. Not sure why they are in such demand as my 5167 is a better go to piece IMO. Anyway, not sure if I gong to keep it or flip it at this point. Cheers.

Watch storage temperature
Good afternoon all, apologies if this sounds stupid!I returned home from holiday last night. This morning I went to take my watches out of the safe to give them a good wind and introduce them to my new BLNR. Lol. I noticed the safe was pretty cold to the touch (as it¡¯s been very cold in the U.K. this week) and also the contents too. Including the watches regardless of being in their travel pouches. Would being stored in a cold environment cause some internal damage over time perhaps to the oils and lubricants? Or if I¡¯m winding them once a week should this prevent any problem? I¡¯m sure there¡¯s nothing to worry about but just wanted your opinions. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
