The Story Behind Wryst Watches
Sponsored PostIn 2012, watch designer Jacques Fournier started his own watch brand named Wryst, after years of creating some of the most innovative modern watch designs under his company Horology Design, for brands aimed both at the mainstream as well as the ultra-high-end market. Born and educated in Switzerland, Fournier later moved to France and eventually to the UK, where he currently lives.Wryst was born out of Jacques' passion to create his idea of the ultimate lifestyle sports watch with a design that had never before been attempted. Wryst timepieces are mostly priced at under $1,000, but retain a sense of refined European design with a contemporary attitude intended for those watch lovers who share his aesthetic vision. He explains the story of Wryst watches from conception to concept below.Why do you design watches and how did you get into doing so?Jacques Fournier: At a young age, I was spending a lot of time looking at luxury timepieces in watch boutiques in Geneva or anywhe

Ongoing Swamp Issues...LOL
I am always amazed when I see a seller on the swamp list a "not quite right" but otherwise desirable watch that goes unsold because of a ridiculous "BIN" or reserve price. A month or 2 ago a seller listed an otherwise nice white Illinois Viking (Special Model 195) with an obviously incorrectly redone dial. At the time I told the seller of this, and he and I shared a few emails where I explained to him what was wrong with the dial, and I also informed him that the comparable example he cited in "Shugart" was also incorrectthe seller eventually seemingly agreed. We even shared an email about how for less than $30 he could have the dial redone by Int'l Dial, and then likely sell the watch for what he hoped to get for it. Now it is again being listed with the same bad dial with the following STILL in the listing: "I believe this dial to be original". Stupidity and ingorance are one thingbut this seller is simply being DISHONEST. Is it JUST ME??

A little help guys
Some of you guys might be knowing that I wear my Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic everyday, for the past 1.5 years, yesterday however, when I took it off my wrist to gaze at the movement through the sapphire caseback (Yes I do this nearly everyday) I noticed a few specks of dust on the inner side of the caseback as well as on the rotor. I'm in New Delhi, India, tempratures range from below 10 deg C in winters to above 40 deg C in summers, so could it be possible that the water resistance seal at the junction of the sapphire of the caseback with the steel is giving way? If this is the case, please tell me some sources (online, if I can find the seals on ebay, what exactly should I search for?) as I know a watchmaker who can do the job pretty well, but doesn't have the seals and gaskets. Also, since I will have it opened, should I have it serviced? The movement is giving me no problems though and the watch is just 1.5 years old. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thanks for reading,Sumer
