Would have been welcome where we were, too - the passengers were often (to misuse a Bond quote), ‘Shaken, not stirred’, which would most likely not happen with this car 😁
As mentioned yesterday, the topic for this week will be 'Digital Detox Watch'. I have just returned from a trip, where for better or worse, there was no chance to keep connected to the outside world over long stretches of time (outside of an emergency Iri...
Escape companions- I’d love to disappear into ice diving off Baffin Island, Northern Canada And I’d love to spend another summer in the eternal city ...
Only now did I realize how well and subtly the brand has been integrated into the NHC minute ring - fantastic 🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻 The CasiOak is definitely also a very fitting choice!
In the end of days, value will mean a different thing to the survivors, and utility will perhaps mean the highest “value”. Likely, I’ll take the silver blackbay along, because the size is comfortable, and it can handle the marine environment too. It helps...
I'd love to get lost (again) in Alaska (maybe during the summer months lol!) This time, I'm heading straight to Denali National Park, where I missed seeing Denali (Mt McKinley) the last time I was there, due to weather. The watch I'll take along would be ...
.....the gas pump starts at 30L?😂 Good to know your watches survived!💪🏻...The second one looks interesting my friend. And who cares about internet connection when you just want to get away from it all......😁 Have a good weekend! ...
In my personal case, I dream with living my years of retirement (which will begin soon I expect) in a remote place near the sea. With a house which allow me to view the sea each morning when my day starts. A gin clear waters I may add which allows for ski...
... among the best re editions ever made. You show yours in a beautiful Sunset shot ! Have a nice and relaxed weekend my dear friend. A big hug for you! Abel
I have also started thinking those heretical thoughts of what watch I would pick for the only one, and while I did not come to a conclusion the thought was less scary than it would have been half a year ago 😉 The Rail is certainly a fantastic allrounder 👌...
Plus the remoteness of the places I have been to would also make it completely stealthy - as in no one would know the brand, not that theft is a risk even if they did. In winter you need to keep the car running 24/7, as you will most certainly not be able...
Hello dear KM and friends ! When it comes to an enforced digital detox, two of my watches are definitely up to the task … The Seiko “Captain Willard” … Tough enough for the task … But if the temperature takes a dive, it’s got to be the Panerai North Pole ...
And your legendary polar shot of it. Am quite curious where you took that one. We stayed for one night in the Pile of Coldness, the coldest inhabited place on Earth. Pretty extreme at the max temperature difference between coldest and hottest temperatures...
....would be the rugged functional gmt ....and reliable perpetually running accutron well batteried up thanks for an interesting theme-----HAGWE henry ...
Love the Tudor of course and the Accutron is a very interesting and historical piece to enjoy in an adventurous situation as sggested by the present Theme, Hagwe! Abel
For 2 watches to bring to such an adventure trip that may last a while, I would bring my JLC perpetual calendar. I would not want to lose track of day and date without any digital connections with the outside world. The second watch would be the Sinn U50,...
I find the combination of a perpetual calendar and the Sinn very apropos. As for the digital detox, I can highly recommend it to recalibrate a bit - and as you say it’s fun, healthy and quite liberating 😊👍🏻
Hi Digital detox sounds very tempting at the moment! What would I take - a couple of alarms to make sure I got up in the morning. Poljot - still really rate the blue dial on this one. Vulcan - definition of an alarm watch, & if I get bored there's a littl...
I did such a trip in winter of 2000 in a Citroen 2CV, around the perimeter of Scandinavia. Because it's up near the North Pole, this region looks small on our projection maps, but our route took us over 3000 miles - equivalent of driving coast to coast in...
Nothing less expected of you 😁 In terms of safety we did have an Iridium satellite phone with just in case and there was still enough traffic around to not be too dangerous (plus we had three vehicles with enough seating capacity to abandon one of strictl...
And not too heavy to dig and push out of a snowbank (yes…) Not overly warm inside though. Mike PS - have you seen this film? happy people by Werner Herzog :_A_Year_in_the_Taiga
