The half I see is very nice, especially the round, sculpted crown. Now I have to look up the coordinates to find out who made it so that I can see the rest of it...

I've been wanting a new binary watch since I've sold my old one a couple months back, so I figured I'd try my hand at making one this time... Loads of fun!!

I’m intrigued by this and how to tell the time with it. I was trying to workout how the LEDs count the time when binary is a base 2 number system whereas time isn’t.

Could you do a little tutorial for those of us with inquisitive minds please.

That looks to be a Zero West watch. Zero west are a small British watchmaker with a really interesting design language.

I couldn’t tell you what the coordinates are a reference to however.

That looks fun indeed! How do you read the time?

As iain has spotted correctly, yes, it's a Zero West RAF-C

I'm hopefully taking a look at the new Dambuster, on Saturday.

This could be dangerous!
Enjoy your visit to the Boathouse
...it's a great experience in itself.
Say Hi to Andrew & Graham from me

Heston, early RAF aerodrome in West London (Hounslow), about 3 miles from Heathrow.

I think Guy may be visiting the Watch Fair on Saturday where Zero West are 1 of the exhibitors.
The Boathouse looks like a good day out though.
I love the look of the Lancaster watches but at 44mm they are probably too big for me in specification and £s.

^^^ Aren’t all their watches big? I absolutely loved the Longitude white dial version, very much in the marine chronometer mode – but it sold out quickly and it was massive.

I still don't understand the point of the "dust accumulation shelf" between the lug holes and the case..... apart from that the ZW dials are pretty cool.

Sadly Steve yes they are all big and so would never be good for me to buy but I'd like to see them at The Boathouse.

Thanks Mick.

@StrapMeister - As Mick rightly points out, Nigel, ZeroWest are scheduled to be at the WatchIt! Watch Fair on Saturday. I'll be taking a look at their range then.

Size wise their offerings are fine, it's their unique lug design that I need to get my head around.

Guy
