The Heart And The Hand Of Watch Making At The Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair
One thing that I really respect about Chinese culture is the honesty in their well wishes. Chinese people will wish you health and wealth without the normal qualms Westerners seem to have in regard to the latter. A toast at a networking reception during the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair, "wishes everyone a successful fair and to make good business!" Career success in Chinese culture seems to be the cornerstone of one's value and legacy. The?Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair (HKWCF) does not shroud its function as a trade show for the "making of business." It is invigorating?to see deals happening and goods moving. In the West we are not so prone to directly wish someone the good fortune to make lots of money. Perhaps we deem purely materialistic pursuits to be less than wholesome - but it is a mere facade. Today, China and Asia in general are the most important regions for both the production and consumption of watches. The Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair is about feeding and encour

The H.R. Giger Take On Watches: He Loves Swatch Watches
Though stated in 1993, I doubt H.R. Giger has changed the way he feels about watches. "I will wear a Swatch, the real thing, from the cradle to the grave." Best know for his macabre and dark industrial, future goth design style, Giger is probably most widely known for his design of the alien, in the Alien movies series. The fiendish, eye-less, dark and brooding brutal alien species is but one of a legacy of designs and characters imagined by Giger. A favorite approach of his is to take common industrial design and endow his own take on them. Fortunately for us, he has done this with the simplest of watches, the Swatch.As part of an early 1990's art exhibit, Giger used his love of the simplicity of the Swatch watch, and took it to another level. Though never commercially available, these designs are a wonderful depiction of how to incorporate the watch into a great and dark design theme. Notice how the watch in each design is the classic Swatch design. You can see more pictures of the G

G-Shock in action...
Dennis wanted one of my G-Shocks in action so here it is...got this orange and black job last week and today I took my son deer hunting with the bow.We had no luck with the deer, but he did shoot a hog with his bow and 4 ($12 each) lost arrows later we had the guy. I'd post the video, but the battle that ensued between me and the injured hog is too gruesome so here's a crappy phone pic of the G-Shock...blood included.

Pam 240 vs Pam 510
Hello everyone, It's my first time in this community and I'm looking for some advice. I'm trying to consider between a PAM 240 and PAM 510. Both are second hand at the exact same price. Here's a brief comparison:PAM 510:Full set 2014 P serial Mild scratches on the sidesPAM 240:Watch onlySerial (unsure I'll update as soon as I get the info) It's my first Panerai and I have a preference towards the 510's sandwich dials, but I think the 240 has its merits as well (titanium case, automatic, date). My question here is: which one do you guys think is better in terms of accuracy (is the p.9000 really that inaccurate) / serviceability (in house movement vs. Valjoux) / complications (date or no date?) / looks (sandwich dial or sausage)?
