2015 marks the 34th Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and – on a personal note – my second year in a row that I get to visit this unique exhibition. Last year, prior to my first trip to Hong Kong, I only had a blunt idea on what to expect as far as the range of watches on …
Hands-On: The Tudor North Flag, With Tudor's Own In-House Movement

Barrington Single Watch Winder, Because You Can’t Wear All Your Watches at Once
I went pretty quickly from a guy who owned a mechanical watch to a guy who owned too many mechanical watches. Not too many in an absolute sense (that would be crazy), but too many in the sense that I can't keep them all wound by rotating through my collection. If this …

Once the bug bit me, the only remedy was to track down “the watch”. I absolutely had to find a Heuer Autavia 2446. To me, within the pantheon of rotating bezel 60’s sports chronographs, the Autavia has always acted the part of Zeus. Specifically, the 2446 2nd Execution …
