We started to look into boxes for the Funky 70’s Memovox, but I thought it would be fun to take a detour and take a look at some 1940’s boxes… Let’s have a look at the reference E 109 (left) and the E

Tomorrow will be a tough day for Sweden in the World Cup, playing against the Champions, Germany! To win, Sweden will need all help they can get... Time to play some (Omega) Jedi mind games...?! Hope

Almost two years ago, I showed you this shot... Finally a pair of hands I could live with... I was wrong, they were too thin, not matching the watch itself. At that point I already had the watch with
