No, not of the bikini variety. Today I am wearing my Metris on the 'wrong' wrist to try to mitigate the appearance of the seemingly inevitable watch tan line. I am not the best at remembering to put the suncream on, despite my wife being of the pale & pasty & ginger habit and wearing factor 50 from ...

Interesting. Ricciardo reminds a little of Button - worthy of a championship but in the wrong place at the wrong time. For button the planets aligned and he made the right call to stay with Brawn, the team held their nerve, and he had the edge over his team-mate. I think Ricciardo is going to need s...

Watch is rare! In a sales post..

Something wrong here...

Nothing like a Vostok for working under a car!

Mine just turned up after a week, then I got my despatch email and tracking number a fortnight later!

I'm really pleased the pics I posted of mine were helpful to in deciding to buy your Metris, Avo. I went for a contrasting strap precisely because of the 'is it the right blue?' issue so aptly illustrated above, but if you're not afflicted (good for you!) then I'm getting on well with my watchgecko ...

It's good to see this kind of high tech stuff happening close to home.

Quartz has its place, but that place is utility. Art and therefore emotive, it is not.

No. A fine piece of electronic engineering requires no less creativity and mastery of craft than a mechanical movement.

A Sellita SW200 is just as much a mass market commodity as a Seiko quartz movement.

Ah well. Jean-Claude Juncker will maybe buy one.

I hope the 52% are happy now!



Too soon?

Lovely shot. Glad you like the watch. I think for me the denim strap works better on the ivory model as it's picking up the accent colour rather than the dial. Anyone else got a 'CW' MeisterSinger yet? Here is mine on a 'sage grey' - that is, green - cordura from watchgecko. Much happier with the o...

Well this morning I was thinking if I don't have my dispatch email sometime today I'll have to chase it next week, and then of course it turned up via TNT! First impressions are good. Case shape is lovely. Dial colour is an inky deep blue, little bit darker than the website photos. Numerals and mark...
