The future?
Quite right, Daos, and Jim Cameron has already pencilled a story arc of at least two more films. Avatar was very successful at combing live action with CGI and traditional models (I believe the film is 60% CGI and 40% ‘live’). Not perfect, mind you, which becomes obvious on repeat viewing when you are not so distracted by the story and can concentrate on the visuals and 3D immersion, but still very good. The other aspect is the use of actors and the way their expressions and emotions are ‘grafted’ onto CGI creations. This is just going to get better and better …

Stunning watch Nicolas ...
Is the saphir glass is engraved ? LOL Best my friend Patrice
This one will take a long time befoe posting it.
This is an important novelty which requires time before I'm able to post something interesting about it. There are a lot of things to say about it... Best, my friend. Nicolas
Well, I will enjoy it only virtually, as I had to give it back... :(
This is a 44 mm watch, by the way. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Nice wrist shot of that one, Nicolas
It is good to see it on your wrist. I am still unsure of the overall look of this watch. But it is a magnificent piece for sure. I would love to see one and try it on. It is a little like having the universe on your wrist, no? Very special feeling, I am s...
Well, my pics don't give justice to the watch, Respo.
It is a pure piece of ...Poetry. More to come, but not very soon... Best, Respo. Nicolas
Looks like an interesting ...
combination of complications. The "design" reminds me Ulysse Nardin, Patek, ..., to be honest. Oliver
Well, PP, I would rather speak of ...Subtraction, in this case. :)))

It looks beautiful...
...on your wrist, Nicolas. Really magical! I will dream with you while I wait for my lotto numbers to come in! Cheers, Daos
Magical, Captivating, Fascinating
The watch of the Superlatives... I can tell you that I have a lot of pleasure to try to prepare a review on this one... Dreaaaaaaming! Best, Nicolas
True, Stefan...But to know if it was a good thing or the start of my nightmares
Is another thing... Best, Nicolas
Oh, my God!
Un torbellino celestial!! Hermano, don´t forget that, sometimes, dreams becomes true... Great pic, and sorry for my late answer... work is hard lately (thanks to God, of course ) Best, my dear Nico Emilio
I know, I know....
but, never forget that we are a bit "masochistic" This is the problem, hermano.... do you like a bit of "dolor"? LOLOL Un fuerte abrazo, my dear friend.
On my wrist right now, but it is only Thursday here.
I'll have to update tomorrow if there's a substitute! HAGWE! Best, Jed...
You have to update ...
anyway, as it is 13 days late, isn´t it ;-) Nevertheless it looks great on your wrist Oliver
I enjoyed it so much,at the SIHH, then at the Paris Boutique
I'm dangerously under the charm... Best, Nicolas
Oliver, I wish I had time for a fresh wristshot and upload every Friday!
Time is a commodity in such scarce supply! HAGWE! Best, Jed
I wish, Nicolas.
Though I can say a had a JLC on my wrist last night straight from SIHH, and it was "barrels" of fun! Best, Jed
I'd like to see more of this one!
It seems to make less frequent appearances to the office, as compared to certain others! Looks great on you! Cheers, Daos
For Adam, Tommy , Rita and all the other BB fanatics. Let's hope there is a resurgence of
these stunning time pieces Just out of the safe...time has not been set yet Julian...
Omega's rule !!!
... well, they're cool fot sure .. Weekend was pretty exhausting ... will do a review on TO ... Filip
my offering for this week is unsurprisingly an Omega
i thought i'd try a different way to get it going. it works on the car so why not the watch and an old wristshot just to comply with the title of the forum page. i'm off to see Avatar in 3D with my boys on saturday so it is going to be a good weekend. i h...
OOPS!! LOL :))) do...
OOPS!! LOL :))) do you think it would work on my Accutrons? best Graham
Have fun.
You all will love the look of the movie. People are making too much of the so called politics. It is a visually stunning adventure yarn. Definitely try to see it in 3D. G
thanks for the heads up...
thanks for the heads up Ginger, i'm looking forward to it. best Graham
I loved Avatar in 3-D!
Did you enjoy it, Graham? The world of Avatar is very absorbing. The story is a classic one, which is why I think it translates well to a variety of different people and cultures, but the fictional world in which they reside is so novel and cool. I could ...
just got back from watching...
just got back from watching it Daos. very icy roads. the film was brilliant. not normally the sort of thing i'm into, but it drags you in. the boys loved it, but at 14 and not quite 12 it is just their thing. best Graham
We need a good TO discussion on Cameron's Avatar ...
Not so much the movie itself (which I have seen in IMAX 3D, VMAX 3D and 'conventional' 2D), but the influence we think this film might have. Remember when 'references' to Matrix started appearing in so many subsequent action / Sci-Fi movies? I think Avata...
You are undoubtedly right...
...about the influence this movie will have. I think it's too early to tell exactly where this movie will take cinema, but one thing is for sure, we'll revisit the world of Avatar again. The great thing about virtual sets is that they already live inside ...
The future?
Quite right, Daos, and Jim Cameron has already pencilled a story arc of at least two more films. Avatar was very successful at combing live action with CGI and traditional models (I believe the film is 60% CGI and 40% ‘live’). Not perfect, min...
Hmmm ...
.. is that the way your watchmaker serviced my Seamaster Graham ... it's running a bit too fast .. 3 days/1 day .. Filip
i bet its not even...
i bet its not even running 3 secs in 1 day. i thought it would work as it starts my car. sadly i had to wind it like normal. i might try it on my Accutrons :)) best G
Welcome here, Hawk.
Original wristshot for a lovely Vintage Sub... Congrats on both the watch and the pic. HAGWE, Nicolas
Nice!
Welcome to the forum! I like your photo! Looking forward to reading more from you. Cheers, Daos
Looking up some relatives ...
... at the Melbourne Zoological Gardens. St. Gallen Horology PPro All Black Rescue on galuchat strap...
I like...
...the watch, the surroundings, and the strap! Would you share the brand of your stingray, and whether you are happy with it? -Tom
St. Gallen's own ...
Hi Tom, Pleased you like the combination. The galuchat works nicely with the carbon fibre dial of the ABR, IMO. This is St. Gallen's own strap and it is made to fit the lugs of the ABR. It is a bit of a fiddle (and a tight squeeze) to fit, but once mounte...
In yet another round of outstanding photos, the image of . . .
. . . the carbon fiber dial of the ABR set against the pattern of the tortoise shells is just sublime. Wrist scan of the week . . . cordially, Art
What a pleasant surprise, Art ...
Pleased you liked the photos. The ABR (largely after seeing the infamous video of AT trying to destroy a table with one) is the only watch I have that I completely relax when wearing. It’s nice to know it can take a little abuse – or hammer in...
I gather your relatives were home :))
great pics looks like was a good day my fav is the tiger when i was in bali i loved the white tigers the size of them was amazing thx for the pics
I love this picture!
Giraffes are a favorite! Your watch looks very handsome on its stingray strap. Cool! Cheers, Daos
Thanks, Andrew!
They are so cute! I love how a giraffe's coat is as unique to them as a human's fingerprint is to us -- no two are exactly alike. Looks like you had a beautiful day at the zoo! I am up late watching the men's Australian Open finals live on ESPN2 right now...
possibly my favourite Patek Quan. i love the co-axial chrono dial
it fits so well with the rest of the watch. best Graham
Oh my...It's a comic book base on Nicolas's adventures
Nice watches Bim. HAGWE! -- Richard.
Trafic Nice/Cannes,early evening
