As I wrote in the announcement yesterday we WIS love our little mechanical wonders. Watches are our greatest vice. At least they are the greatest vice we can openly talk about 😜. Now on a very solid second place we have our cars (and/or perhaps boat). So ...  

I will go for the option without a car! Front: rather anonymous... Hood: still quite plain... Engine: awesome! Zenith Calibre 135 non-chrononmetre - Movement diameter 30mm, balance diameter 14mm(!), 19 Jewels, 1800vph! HAGWE Blomman ...  

Superb engine! One hel! of a watch. Cheers D

Now where is my chainsaw gotta lover that bar

Same thing as the wooden beam! Best Blomman

...  

Well played, as always.

Wonderful entry.

Let me see what I can do.... Looking forward this weekend on WS think it will be great. Cheers D

Lange 1815 Glashütte Original PanoMaticLunar ...  

you have a better camera than I. LOLOL

Can I hire you to take photos of mine?

and I will do it for free my friend. LOL

Cheers, Dirk ...  

Cool shots

Aaaahhh, the V12 is a dream, too bad they're quickly dying.

When you have to touch it, you regret having it! ...  

But I do love to drive it. The sound, the grunt...

I particularly like the GO pic

Was it from an old pocket watch?

Encased it is 41mm, so a nice size. However still a project as I still want to change case etc. once I have the time... but certainly worth it. The sound is vastly superior compared to a lot of modern watches... Hope to share more info soon! Br, Dirk

... a real challenge: I can’t find any shot showing car engine and watch movement together and there is a limit to the quantity of shots to submit!! With your kind permission I will break a bit the rules showing the engine (sans watch) of our restored 196...  

Great car! Superb machines pairing! Cheers D

... the story! It was a big project and work but a lot of fun sharing it with my son! Hagwe my friend!! Abel

And of course the engine bay of the FPJ is also a sight to behold. Great entries Abel. Have a great weekend!

have a beautiful weekend my friend! Cheers! Abel

No message body

I don't remember seeing this beauty from you before. Nice photos, my dear Abel.

I have been eyeballing the perpetual calendar, but don't really want/need another one. But love the layout of that. And yes, please show this one more.

... FPJ watches are very interesting ! Will wear it more often and post more shots soon!! Hagwe! Abel

it has the original exhaust manifold and muffler system so sound is very “civilized “ lol!! Thanks a lot and Hagwe my friend!! Abel

... I adored that car. But maintanenace was very high lately. I changed it for a smaller Citroen, a C3. The Citroens are my daily drivers to my job. I also own a Ford Mondeo (Fusion in USA) and an Audi 4 which rides my wife. But the Citroen is a very prac...  

I have had one Citroen from Argentina - which looked like this when I first saw it, and later like this when another guy had spent a fortune restoring it. The restoration was over the top OTT in every way except mechanics, so it was only able to go 45 mph...  

they were very popular here in the late 2960’s through 1970’s. The commercial version you show we called “furgoneta” something like “little truck”. Nice to know you owned one!! As I said I’m very fond of this brand! Cheers! Abel

Always loved the guilloche on the rotor.

... January 2017. But I have shown it very few times. Agree: the movement is very nicely finished and the rotor is so beautiful! Hagwe my friend! Abel

Love the FPJ! Especially the back side is just a pure joy!

But just like watches bikes have the same golden rule n+1 is the ideal number Pedal rather than petrol power No guesses as what this case back belongs to! Cheers JML ...  

Such a cool movement. Cheers D

Great size & fabulous black dial help too

Is it a vintage??

You can have toe clips, or clip in - but I fall off to regularly for that! As then your physically attached to bike & makes getting off harder. They on an orange 5 It's also quite clean at the mo! Cheers JML ...  

filling my bike shed why I am I looking to buy n+1? Right! Because it has a motor Cazalea ...  

You can always come up for a reason for the +1 Cheers JML

I have had several! A Professional and an International The International was brown but I had it repainted a brighter color. This photo is from (gulp) 1974. Then my wife insisted on hers having an upgraded paint job too, which my pal Joe Bell took care of...
