Friends,

I think it has been said before but a certain Blomman has severely poisoned me with his Mimo Centric silkver dial about a year ago.


I have been desperate finding one for me and a few weeks back I could find one with a few differences:





While it has the same dial print with Pulsometer, the dial is black and while the case is identical with the hunter back, mine is actually configured as a small pocket watch.







I find this watch truly bewitching. I now only have one major problem: I really want to wear it on my wrist, so not sure what to do...

CC, I prefer your black dial version as it is more dramatic with the hand and marker colours. The change to wrist wear is a bit more difficult unless you are handy with soldering...? I don't know if there are people who still do that these days in our 'replace rather than repair' society. Maybe the suggestion to wait for a swap with a pocket watch collector is the way. It's hard though when your wrist is calling for the black beauty. Regards, MTF

and I'm sure my watchmaker could do that, but then it would ruin the original case, so I'm very hesitant doing it. Let's see, I did consider wearing it on a necklace...

LOL but it is common for some people to not to wear wristwatches. My nurse sister-in-law used to have a brooch watch pinned to her blouse. Most anaesthetists have "necklace" timers to know when to give more drugs during surgery or patient coma. A bit embarassing when the patient wakes up and tries to help the surgeon Regards, MTF
