Cazalea's 'Wearing All My Watches Now; Part 9 of 10' offers a delightful glimpse into a collector's diverse horological journey. This installment showcases a fascinating array of timepieces, from robust tool watches to elegant chronometers and unique independent creations. The post not only highlights individual watches but also captures the personal connection and joy of rediscovering a collection.
Boy, this seems like it's been going on for a long time. One good thing, besides falling in love with almost all of these watches again, is I have been able to clean the cabinet, polish the glass, etc. The red cloth covers the remaining stock, as I don't want to spoil the surprise.
I'm staggering around in the near-dark, feeding the cat and getting my tea, while wearing SWISS watches:
#81 IWC Ingenier "Climate Action" which has a beefy stainless steel case and ceramic bezel, enclosing a beautiful textured dial. Matching strap is a bit of a pain though due to proprietary (expensive) fixing.
I need something a bit sleeker on my sleepy wrist! Does this give you a clue? Can you guess?
That's right, wearing the Léman case, we have a Blancpain - in fact a pair of them.
#82 The Chronometer 7002 by candlelight.
(NOTE: I did wear this briefly in an earlier post, but I deleted & swapped it for another watch that fit my theme better when I edited that post later)
#83 The 100-hour Aqua Lung with the rising sun
Now from a small, independent but famous maker,
#84 Paul Gerber's P10 triple-rotor in titanium case with PuristS dial but on shark-skin strap rather than its salmon-skin strap.
#85 Ochs & Junior Settemania Jr. in titanium case with day-of-the-week complication on a soft stretchy Swatch strap
#86 IKEPOD ISOPODE Dual Time - very rare complication with two independently adjustable (hours & minutes) time zones.
#87 Purists All Black Rescue (ABR) special edition watch manufactured by Saint Gallen Horology for this website, with red silicone strap
#88 Alain Silberstein Pikto Smileday in titanium case (one hand + seconds)
#89 IWC's manufacture but private-branded Porsche Design slim, quartz, annual calendar moonphase on unobtanium strap
And finally, #90 the Omega Electronic Chronometer with
"Long Good Friday" f300 dial
At least one more day to go, please stick with me!
