Friends, Letโs start our WristScan thread this week โFunkyโ. Now Funky Funk I of course associate with Music first of all, be it original Motown Funk, or smashing Northern Soul or more recent Funksters like Jamiroquaiโฆ But I digress. I want to see your Fu...
... taking ourselves too seriously while making us feel our of the ordinary!! The GP Deep Diver is a great and beautiful example indeed! I feel we will see some realy interesting timepieces along this week end! Now searching my HD for some pictures of my ...
That Doxa is high on the list you know and this one I missed while waiting for the Searambler to become available. But those Accutrons are quite the thing ๐๐ป
I was 6 years old. I went on a cruise with my parents.....and spent my entire holiday money buying this watch for my grandfather. That was 1971. I still have the watch!!! It still works. ...
Bulova introduced the Accutron tuning fork electronic watch in 1960 and it was extremely popular in many iterations throughout the sixties and into the early seventies. This technology (electronic tuning fork) was โcutting edgeโ and the story makes for gr...
. . . with an excursion to Santa Barbara a little later this afternoon for a few drinks at the piano bar. Here's hoping your weekend will be just as entertaining ;-) . . .
... and entertaining with my grand children. And making plans for my next holidays for second half of February!! Enjoy your week end so much my dear friend! Abel.
. . . gotta love 910s, especially when . . . . . . they're mostly intact and unpolished. Mine has all the paint on the pushers and crowns, and most of the cadmium yellow coating on the chrono hands. Art ...
In fact it started mid- late 1960's with the flower power movement and then kept going all the way long into the 1970's. A theme I love! Big, bold, often untraditional case shapes, usually with more colourful dials than we normally see. Most of the times,...
... that these are the watches which follow your recipe of "Funky": When on my wrist they make me feel a bit out of the ordinary, they make me feel in a good mood way, and I have fun and I do not take myself too seriously. I love your definition!! Donยดt y...
... I had a lot of problems reading the time in this watch, which has a quartz movement by the way. The retrograde system didnยดt work with accuracy enough. I bought many many years ago during a trip in the Caribbean. I had seen it in a magazine ad about t...
My search will continue even if I have to go into Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no Purist h...
The Seiko 6139 reference automatic Chronographs are quite โfunkyโ and represent the very late sixties and early to mid seventies quite well. They came with multiple dial colors (all had the โPepsiโ bezel) including black, silver and (most notably) golden....
the 1970's LIP watch designed by Roger Tallon together with the funkiest architects of the 1970's, Ant Farm. (Their most famous installation, Cadillac Ranch, is in the first photo. In the second photo is their House of the Century built in 1972) HAGWE! ...
...as he started the whole Funk stuff in 1965. But I couldnโt find it. But thatโs no trouble at all as Funk survived until today. Looking back to the funky seventies I rediscovered a few alternatives... Okay, the two watches may not be very funky ๐ But he...
Comes in a palladium plated case, too - so looks completely pristine more than 40 years later. It does have a scratch on the crystal as the only sign of a long life - I wish to look as good when that age ๐
Good morning gentlemen, long time lurker here posting a funky item from the seventies (1975 to be precise). Square, blue and yellow dial (the pic does not get the real hue). It usually grabs the attention for its look, but also deserves some serious consi...
Very nice composition! I wish you will enjoy this place and that you will keep posting and playing in future editions of our weekly Wrist Scans !, Hagwe! Abel
