The WS for April 5th - β€˜Watches and Work’ is live

 
 By: KMII : April 4th, 2019-05:17
This may be one of the earliest Singapore midnights but needs must - I am off to a meeting and would otherwise not be able to post in time πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ The theme is β€˜Watches and Work’ and what you see as work is open to your interpretation of course. If office i...  

Very interesting and potentially broad theme! I'll stick to the two watches that are following me in the US for the spring semester, here they are in a few recent, work-related shots:

Great theme dear KMII .

The watches that i wear the most during ,,office hours,, ...  

Blue, white and salmon, for the Dutch flag of sorts πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

 
 By: KMII : April 4th, 2019-09:20
These are really cool choices! Reminding me to play some more with straps on my watches 😊

Cool collection [nt]

I'm boring at work

 
 By: NT931 : April 4th, 2019-08:37
I tend to favour blue or white shirts, colors that match brown straps and black/navy straps. No surprises that vintage is often an easy match! Wearing an oversized Doxa (love the numerals!), on a navy strap today. ...  

What a truly amazing Doxa, NT931 πŸ‘πŸ»

 
 By: KMII : April 4th, 2019-09:21
Blue and white are not boring as such 😊

Thanks!

PP Ref. 2526 with new blue strap ...  

A truly fantastic piece, Saxon!

And the strap is a perfect match πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

Wow, a true candy! [nt]

I love all in this piece and the special 2 P back to back is a small detail that I love also. Isn't it a Serpico y Laino dial btw? Congrats on this fantastic piece

Dial is double signed Serpico y Laino Caracas

What spectacular choices, Nico!

No wonder JLC is prominent 😊

That’s a killer trio in anyone’s book 😊

Actually eagerly awaiting my next dress watch. Should be arriving in a week and a half or so 🀞🏻

Breguet? [nt]

Great working watches my dear Nicolas!!...

merci...comme toujours, but I think you nailed it strong with your photos...

both JLCs are amazing, the Duometre is just art....

What's on my wrist to day at work...

Not sure yet but you never know πŸ˜‰

Was really impressed by the 1 and 2 . Am in the area next month so will pay them a visit πŸ€—

Looking forward to seeing the outcome...

 
 By: KMII : April 8th, 2019-02:54
And as you said, one never knows I was surprised to have found some very interesting inspiration for Soviet watches on Watchprosite (helpfully pointed out by ChristianDK)

One is relatively well known, one less so πŸ˜‰

 
 By: KMII : April 8th, 2019-17:41
But very interesting as a result 😁

Here’s my work watch today....in its natural environment.

Except that behind that door is a 3 Tesla MRI, or 30,000 Gauss. I need 29 more Milgausses to enter. ...  

So even Omega is not quite adequate?

 
 By: KMII : April 4th, 2019-20:14
Like your workplace! And of course a perfect choice of watch for it πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

Sounds like an exciting experiment...

when I am working on construction projects at home. My Laco, my normal beater, is still at the watchmakers but will have to go back to Germany for repair. In the meantime, this Ventura sure takes a beating! HAGWE! ...  

Guess my profession πŸ˜„

Several hours left in the office...

Hopefully tomorrow, though 🀞🏻

I guess Director, like it says πŸ˜‰

Great shots and now you really made me want a negroni πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

Great shot, K. [nt]

That is one of the nicest Doxas I've ever seen

 
 By: Brandon Skinner : April 5th, 2019-04:09
Admittedly, not a Doxa guy, but this one comes together very nicely. Also, a perfect watch to cope with the little ones.

Thanks a lot, Thegrailwatch!

 
 By: KMII : April 5th, 2019-21:29
I always wanted a Doxa and the Anniversary Searambler just seems to match my taste best - subdued but with all the classical design elements. And I also missed all of the Black Lungs πŸ˜‚

A few shots while chained to desk

Hi All Like lots of others here - chained to the desk during working hours. Looking forward to breaking the shackles later today! HAGWE Cheers JML ...

Handwound?

Yes -handwound

Fantastic watch, pure understatement

 
 By: Saxon : April 5th, 2019-10:31
Would like to hear it striking...

I was to curious

 
 By: Saxon : April 5th, 2019-13:06
and after some searching I found a video in the www. It is a pity that one cannot observe the hammers while working due to the solid case back. But still a fantastic watch.

Indeed

 
 By: donizetti : April 5th, 2019-13:18
Here at least is a shot of the movement I made when the watch was serviced so you can have a look at the hammers. Best Andreas ...  

Wonderful πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

 
 By: KMII : April 5th, 2019-21:35
Old school subtlety - you don’t see it but know it’s no less fine for being hidden πŸ‘πŸ»

Thank you, Andreas

 
 By: Saxon : April 5th, 2019-23:31
A wonderful movement, and quite an impressive number of jewels.

With this watch...

You can pick any shirt πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ‘ŒπŸ» And I hear you on too much time...

Really impossible to choose between the two πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

 
 By: KMII : April 5th, 2019-21:49
And your shots are excellent, too! I know what you mean by business traveling being optimal for watch shots - there are times when no one is vying for your attention and you can easily take a picture or two πŸ˜‰πŸ‘πŸ»

Thanks my friend!

Even if there is a view from the office, it’s often not easy to take the time to enjoy it. But the watches somehow got enjoyed more frequently πŸ˜‰ Some fantastic choices that are certain to make your work nicer πŸ‘ŒπŸ» A great weekend to you, too, Abel! ...

Definitely is!

I always did my best work . . .

 
 By: Dr No : April 6th, 2019-16:38
. . . at Maggie's. On my wrist Monday night when I made that shot: this vintage Omega. Ref 2242, 18 jewel 30T2SC. Ca '43. Art ...  

What a beautiful picture, Art!

. . . a few great shots . . . . . . of his own. I was really trying not to jump up and down on that last shot of his ;-) . . .

Those are insane shots!!

 
 By: ChristianDK : April 9th, 2019-22:58
I love how you casually check your watch after each shot. I can imagine your friend Jim looking up β€œWoah, did you see THAT!!?”. Art:”No...sorry.....was it good? .....I was just enjoying this wonderful patina. ....”

I let Jim know exactly when . . .

 
 By: Dr No : April 10th, 2019-00:25
. . . a memorable shot was made because he has access to the security cameras. Editing video is a snap if he knows when the shot occurred.

Jim makes those five and six rail attempts . . .

 
 By: Dr No : April 10th, 2019-08:45
. . . with his 'standard' cue, fitted with a medium tip. For straight shots or banks under four rails, he uses a Denali cue with a very soft or ultra soft tip, same as me. Softer tips afford better cue ball control at the expense of energy. I've never mad...
