How about american clocks?
I just finished building my first clock. I bought the plans from Clayton Boyer. Check out his website. He has some amazing designs. I've never done any woodworking before, but after stumbling across his website I knew what my next hobby would be.

My First Hummer!
Yeah yeah..I should post this on the Bulova page, but I am very excited!It's a 1976 fully restored Accutron with a NOS single-coil 219 movement with a brand new lizard grain strap. Bought it for $100. Was that a good deal?I threw a 344 battery in it and away she went! Now, it's running a bit fast of course, so should I buy those Accucells on Ebay that were made for these (Or, where else can I buy such a battery?)

Omega GMT package

Given that the watch was purchased used and had traveled internationally in the mail, then I dropped it onto a wooden floor, I think that is quite exceptional timekeeping (at least in the short period I've owned it).Now I'm waiting for the original COSC results/certificate which for the enthusiast and those technically minded is one hell of a bonus The sword hands and the nicely sized GMT hands really add to the pleasure of this watch, making it highly visible in any lighting conditions.The wave pattern on the dial is a very interesting effect, although it looks quite dominating in the photographs it is very sub
