They spared no expense
It's a big reason why I am so fascinated by early quartz watches. Modern marketing suggests that quartz is cheap and disposable, but back in those days, it was the premium option. And that was reflected in the quality of the cases and dials they used on quartz movements.
I'm glad you like it too

The Wrist Scan Jazz session is live! Let's share our favorites . . .
. . . along with the watch (or watches) we're wearing today. Jazz is an acquired taste for me; I grew up listening to rock, folk, bluegrass, and country. But when I entered my thirties, the allure of jazz beckoned. Managed to see several greats before the...
The other legend I saw in concert was Lionel Hampton . . .
. . . in '87. Here's video of the happiest man in jazz . . . . . . the following year. On my wrist at the moment? A '53 Omega ref 2608. What are you wearing, and who are you listening to? Dig it, Daddy-O's! 🎷 ...
Beautiful "Star Dust" Omega you choose for the weekend dear Art! An interesting Theme. I´m very fond of listening Jazz and have several favorites. You already mentioned all of them...
... in your opening Poster: L. Armstrong, Duke Ellington, D. Reinhardt, Dave Brubeck, Sarah Vaughan Ell Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Stan Getz, Benny Goodman, Dizzy Gillespie among others are always a pleasure to listen play. What I´m wearing today: Omega Sea...
While reading thru Cap's list of jazz greats I counted three . . .
. . . I've seen perform live: Miles Davis (in his last public performance ever), Sarah Vaughn (twice!), and Stan Getz. It's going to be a V weekend here, Abel. Drove to Newport Beach Friday for the Watchtime event; there will be a brief report on our Omeg...
Seems to be an exciting weekend dear Art!
Look forward to your report on Watchtime event! I wish your new cue will bring lots of joy and playing pleasure!! And of course some awesome videos to share with us!! Enjoy so much dear friend!! Abel PS what a privilege to be able to view playing live tho...
Stunning shots….
Of your Eilean Panerai dear Abel. They all look superb especially with the dial catching the light. Best regards Captain
Thank you so much dear Captain! I’m glad you liked these…
… watches and shots. The Eilean is a very interesting Panerai I feel. Cheers! Abel
Very jazzy pieces there, Abel!
Simple at first glance but with a lot of depth to them - very jazzy indeed 👌🏻
The watch is a piece of art…
The jazz I will need to catch up with. I do have some days of driving ahead, so that might give me an opportunity 🤞🏻
Despite....
being highly musically educated, I must admit to only ever listening and liking a few of the Jazz music greats.... So my contribution here is going to be a somewhat alternative Jazz (Fusion) musician - Mr. Jan Hammer . Easily in the top 3 favorite modern ...
While originally an AM collaboration…
Your Amvox does a great job of matching the Mustang grille, too 👌🏻👍🏻
Ditto....
Plus, Aston was owned by Ford's Premier Automotive Group (now defunct) for an extended period of time.... Thanks for looking KM! Cheers, Filip
Double bass
I love Jazz, could be danish lime Niel lan Doky and Chris minh Doky or NHØP or..? ...
Is that you playing upright bass, Hans?! . . .
. . . if it is, please share a sound file if at all possible. I can probably get it loaded onto my YouTube channel if necessary. Art
The world of Jazz is massive
And I have not even begun to explore the far reaches. But I've left some of my favorites at the bottom of the post (unfortunately, whenever I try to put text in between videos, the formatting gets screwed up). I chose my 'jazziest' watch for today: The hi...
Back when I was working for an insurance company, I assisted a broker in helping his client Santa Cruz Guitar . . .
. . . with their policy. (They'd fallen behind on their payments and had either been cancelled or were in danger of losing their coverage.) After getting them back on track, he said, "Let me know if there's anything I can do for you." To which I replied, ...
Gorgeous instrument and a nice story
I think Santa Cruz still makes the rice model, it's never too late!
Fair enough!
We always have to make these kinds of decisions. If it wasn't for guitar, I'd probably be playing a lot more tennis.

Jazz is a language of it's own...
...deeply rooted in American history. As a musician, you need natural talent and deep emotional expression. Exploration in not only your own limits but also the limits of the instrument . True brilliance is a freeform musical discussion. It's not always a...
A most musical thanks 🎶🎵🎶
PS: A bit of jazz. The tones and sounds and harmonics.... . . ...and then there's Steve Smith.... And the legendary shuffle....
Mink deVille
Me as a fan must buy an Omega DeVille to honor William Borsey alias Willy DeVille.
Fifteen years ago, pplater posted a thread on Time Out regarding his interest in jazz . . .
. . . to which I replied in part saying I'd been deeply impressed by a Bahamian percussionist's solo during a Lionel Hampton concert. pplater's response was that the percussionist was likely King Errisson, who played the memorable tom-tom scene in Thunder...
The death of Fiona Volpe is the great scene of tom tom in…
Thunderball! Great Bond movie and a classic scene among the best films of 007.
Epic shots here 👌🏻
My seven years of playing the trumpet were more must than want to, so never got to the exploration stage 🤷🏻♂️
I grew up with Jazz
It is so nice, it is so nice. While i now listening to pop music. A song from George Michael, actually it is a 80ties radio station. Much Spandau Ballet. Hey, now a song from the Dire Straights - The walk of life from the legendary Brothers in Arms album....
I'm a latecomer to jazz. It's kinda like . . .
. . . my Seikos: I almost have to force myself to wear them. Same with jazz . . . it's an effort. I have to make time for it.
Seiko is very hard to like
if…… you grew up as a satisfied Casionado like me. Jazz masters, for me Paolo Conte and Tom Brown. Brubeck trio with take 5 is a real classic. Yes, Rock is more easy. Even classic music is easier. Jazz is a hot potato, a yellow dog. My favorite artists ar...
Were you intending on posting this image of Miles . . .
. . . wearing a Breitling? [photo credit: Quill & Pad] 🤔 ...
Jazz and Minerva
Julie London in Japan 1964 Eliane Elias in Basel 2010 Laura Fygi with the Metropole Orchestra in Amsterdam 1998 Best Regards Livius ...
Julie London ….
She was very talented singer with a long career. . "Cry Me a River" is my personal favourite.
Your Pythagore shots never fail to take my breath away 👌🏻
Time to dig out mine and give it some air time 👍🏻
Never knew of Laura Fygi . . .
. . . 'til now. Thanks for the introduction, Livius. And welcome back to your fabulous Minerva. Best, Art
Laura Fygi
Laura Fygi (Laura Ingrid Thérèse Fijgi) is one of my favorite female jazz singers. A jazzdiva in her native Holland, but nearly unknown in the rest of the world. Laura was born in Amsterdam, but grew up in Montevideo in Uruguay. In the mid 80's she sang i...
Love Miles Davis. Freddie freeloader, 'Round midnight.
Here's my contribution, Van Morrison's live performance of Tupelo Honey. Watch out for Pee Wee Ellis' amazing tenor saxophone solo! Oh yeah, the watch- a longines with a lot of patina: ...
It was Miles' . . .
. . . Sketches of Spain . . . . . . that did me in. One of the albums in my LP collection played more than its fair share. Art
Ah, he was looking outwards for inspiration om that album. Very nice.
Dizzy Gillespie and Freddie Hubbard are also well worth listening to, more traditional perhaps.
Jazz It Up ! …
Hello dear Art and friends ! I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend and having some fun. As I’m by the sea this weekend it’s all dive watches ! Some of the music I’m enjoying this weekend includes my contemporary Jazz favourites including… Roy Ayres.., h...
Nice to know you are enjoying a sea side weekend dear Captain!
You got a pair of wonderfully appropriate watches for the occasion. Are you doing some scuba activity there? Nice musical pieces you are sharing here Captain!! Keep enjoying your weekend so much! Cheers! Abel
Sailing…
I would love to get some dives in but this vacation is all about sailing, exploring small coves and relaxing on some quiet beaches. The true essence of life ! Snorkelling gear should do the trick but you never know 😉 I hope you enjoy your weekend. Best re...
Sailing and exploring small coves is a very relaxing activity
… I’m sure you are enjoying it so much. Yes, having a basic snorkeling gear at hand would be very nice indeed. Keep enjoying!! We are having a nice weekend near the sea too. In a city some four hundred kilometers south of Buenos Aires. Always so lovely to...
This looks a very interesting place …
Navel ships the coast and your superb choice of watches. That’s quite a weekend !
Thank you Captain!! This city is a summer…
… place by the sea. Very popular. On its origins at ends of XIX Century it was called the Argentine Deauville. Lots of charm and sophistication till the first three decades of XX Century. So far from that era of splendor today but a nice place anyway. The...
Used to pass it by so often…
But sadly never made it inside - the downside of living in a city and hoping there will always be time later 🤷🏻♂️
Wow, another contemporary jazz musician I was unfamiliar with . . .
. . . until now. Thanks for cluing me in, Cap. Porter's smooth . . . much to my liking. Btw, I saw a California vanity license plate last week that made me laugh: HEY XIX
Simply what was on my wrist today
One of my all time favorites. Apologies for the gritty watch. I had taken my 7 year old on his first fishing trip. With all that sun in my eyes and the blissful atmosphere I just had to get a wrist shot of this beloved old companion. ...
Hello Christian! A first fishing trip with son is something special and…
… a memory which will be treasured for life for both of you! Enjoy it so much! You got a wonderful timepiece on your wrist for the occasion. Well done!! Hagwe!! Abel
Another jazz musician whose work I'm familiar with . . .
. . . but not his identity. Thanks for enlightening me!
I love Jobim!! He has some unforgettable themes which are classics…
… and some wonderful memorable works with Frank Sinatra. Great GMT by the way! Nice shot!! Hagwe Abel
Jazz here and there for me…..
Mainly into metal, celtic, electro. Winding some watches and took a pix of the Tissot with the SG album… ...
Never took in a Spyro Gyra show, sad to say. The only similar band I can recall seeing . . .
. . . is Jeff Lorber Fusion . . . . . . at the Playboy Jazz Festival in '87. Stan Getz, Sarah Vaughn, Joe Williams, Count Basie, and the Charlie Watts Orchestra were on the same bill.
A very cool theme Art!
Jazz is the kind of music I have had grave difficulty listening to and enjoying over the last years - small kids and constant interruptions not exactly being conducive to it 🤷🏻♂️ But as it so happens I started listening to the first jazz album I ever got...
