The WS of the 22nd of October - 'Digital Detox Watch' - is live!
By: KMII : October 22nd, 2021-14:05
As mentioned yesterday, the topic for this week will be 'Digital Detox Watch'. I have just returned from a trip, where for better or worse, there was no chance to keep connected to the outside world over long stretches of time (outside of an emergency Iri...

Escape companions- Iโd love to disappear into ice diving off Baffin Island, Northern Canada And Iโd love to spend another summer in the eternal city ...
Fabulous choices, both!
By: KMII : October 23rd, 2021-01:44
Only now did I realize how well and subtly the brand has been integrated into the NHC minute ring - fantastic ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป The CasiOak is definitely also a very fitting choice!
Great choices โฆ

At each end of the spectrum.
Maybe this one
By: Cookies : October 23rd, 2021-07:21
In the end of days, value will mean a different thing to the survivors, and utility will perhaps mean the highest โvalueโ. Likely, Iโll take the silver blackbay along, because the size is comfortable, and it can handle the marine environment too. It helps...
Thanks Abel

Going for an adventure soon in 2 weeks time. Will take some underwater pics with the Fifty Fathoms bathyscaphe.=D
Wonderful pictures! I really like the shot of the landscape from the air.
By: Ruffian : October 23rd, 2021-08:56
I'd love to get lost (again) in Alaska (maybe during the summer months lol!) This time, I'm heading straight to Denali National Park, where I missed seeing Denali (Mt McKinley) the last time I was there, due to weather. The watch I'll take along would be ...
Agree!!

Dear KMII, the landscape looks harsh but tranquil..
By: S F : October 23rd, 2021-09:35
.....the gas pump starts at 30L?๐ Good to know your watches survived!๐ช๐ป...The second one looks interesting my friend. And who cares about internet connection when you just want to get away from it all......๐ Have a good weekend! ...
Simply fabulous landscapesโฆ

Aurora borealis and Fifty Fathoms ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป Finnish side of the border?
Yesโฆthe FF is failproof!
By: S F : October 24th, 2021-04:54
The aurora is really a sight to behold. With our eyes, it is usually a grey mass moving in the skyโฆ Enjoy your Sunday dear Abel!

Stunning photos ! โฆ

True Bond locations especially with the NO Time To Die Seamaster on your wrist. Have a great weekend dear friend.
Thank you so much dear Captain!!
By: Subexplorer : October 24th, 2021-14:21
Hope to return to these places some day soon!! Thank you so much for your kind comments and good wishes!! Cheers! Abel
When I want to get away from it all . . .
By: Dr No : October 23rd, 2021-17:46
. . . I head to Sunset Beach. And the Rail is my 'gotta have just one' watch - dead accurate, easy to set, and tells time in style. Art ...
Perfect choices, both ๐๐ป๐๐ป
By: KMII : October 24th, 2021-06:58
I have also started thinking those heretical thoughts of what watch I would pick for the only one, and while I did not come to a conclusion the thought was less scary than it would have been half a year ago ๐ The Rail is certainly a fantastic allrounder ๐...
Sunset Beach โฆ
By: Cpt Scarlet : October 24th, 2021-11:23
The perfect watch and location.
Should certainly be able to weather more or less anything ๐๐ป
By: KMII : October 24th, 2021-07:01
Plus the remoteness of the places I have been to would also make it completely stealthy - as in no one would know the brand, not that theft is a risk even if they did. In winter you need to keep the car running 24/7, as you will most certainly not be able...
Going to the ends of the earth โฆ
By: Cpt Scarlet : October 23rd, 2021-21:53
Hello dear KM and friends ! When it comes to an enforced digital detox, two of my watches are definitely up to the task โฆ The Seiko โCaptain Willardโ โฆ Tough enough for the task โฆ But if the temperature takes a dive, itโs got to be the Panerai North Pole ...
I was waiting for that Paneraiโฆ
By: KMII : October 24th, 2021-07:05
And your legendary polar shot of it. Am quite curious where you took that one. We stayed for one night in the Pile of Coldness, the coldest inhabited place on Earth. Pretty extreme at the max temperature difference between coldest and hottest temperatures...

Verhoyansk being the second option with almost identical temperatures ๐ฅถ
My two for this type of detox outpost

....would be the rugged functional gmt ....and reliable perpetually running accutron well batteried up thanks for an interesting theme-----HAGWE henry ...
While the Tudor is a classic rugged choiceโฆ
By: KMII : October 24th, 2021-07:15
I was truly surprised by the Accutron - well done you! This would definitely be a truly interesting wrist companion for a digital detox ๐๐ป๐๐ป
Great choices dear Henry!!
By: Subexplorer : October 24th, 2021-19:31
Love the Tudor of course and the Accutron is a very interesting and historical piece to enjoy in an adventurous situation as sggested by the present Theme, Hagwe! Abel
Itโs a fantastic pair you chose!
By: KMII : October 24th, 2021-07:17
I find the combination of a perpetual calendar and the Sinn very apropos. As for the digital detox, I can highly recommend it to recalibrate a bit - and as you say itโs fun, healthy and quite liberating ๐๐๐ป
Thanks a lot, KM!
By: Sfwatchlover : October 24th, 2021-12:37
I would love to find some free time in the future to do a retreat like you suggested. Will keep in mind and thanks again for the recommendation
Thanks a lot, Abel, for the kind words!
By: Sfwatchlover : October 25th, 2021-00:41
It was fun to find good use of the watches in our collections. I love your choices too! Have a very good week coming up next to you!!
Analogue alarms
By: jml_watches : October 24th, 2021-08:20
Hi Digital detox sounds very tempting at the moment! What would I take - a couple of alarms to make sure I got up in the morning. Poljot - still really rate the blue dial on this one. Vulcan - definition of an alarm watch, & if I get bored there's a littl...
These are two very interesting choices, JML!
By: KMII : October 24th, 2021-11:17
The alarm complication is definitely useful in such an environment and the chosen contenders do a great job of waking one up, when needed ๐๐ป๐๐ป
Thanks :)
By: jml_watches : October 24th, 2021-20:06
Though if I'm honest, an alarm is always a good choice for me. Cheers JML
Fabulous topic!

I did such a trip in winter of 2000 in a Citroen 2CV, around the perimeter of Scandinavia. Because it's up near the North Pole, this region looks small on our projection maps, but our route took us over 3000 miles - equivalent of driving coast to coast in...
This looks like a pretty amazing trip indeed!
By: KMII : October 24th, 2021-14:32
Nothing less expected of you ๐ In terms of safety we did have an Iridium satellite phone with just in case and there was still enough traffic around to not be too dangerous (plus we had three vehicles with enough seating capacity to abandon one of strictl...
Reasonably good with studded tires
By: cazalea : October 24th, 2021-15:07
And not too heavy to dig and push out of a snowbank (yesโฆ) Not overly warm inside though. Mike PS - have you seen this film? happy people by Werner Herzog :_A_Year_in_the_Taiga
Not yet but will need to tryโฆ
By: KMII : October 24th, 2021-15:10
Thanks for the tip ๐๐ป As for not too heavy, I hear you. We decided to go studdless to prove a point and it worked just fine ๐๐ป๐๐ป
What an adventure dear Mike!! Fantastic!!
By: Subexplorer : October 24th, 2021-19:24
How many Citroens were participating in that raid? It was an only Citroen event? Thanks for sharing these supershots! Cheers! Abel
Actually the suspension of the 2CVโฆ
By: KMII : October 25th, 2021-03:25
Would have been welcome where we were, too - the passengers were often (to misuse a Bond quote), โShaken, not stirredโ, which would most likely not happen with this car ๐
Agree!
