WRISTSCAN 19/20 January THEME: movements

Jan 16, 2019,05:49 AM
 

We all (well most of us) love cars. Cars are often also a vice of the Watch Idiot Savant. Modern cars however provide less and less reasons for opening the hood (or bonnet if you will) because more and more of the engine is hidden behind plastic panels nowadays. And if one drives an electric car there is hardly an engine to be seen at all. In general it seems like our world is becoming less and less mechanical. Hence our love for a beautiful mechanical watch movement.

So this weekend will be the WS weekend of ENGINES. I give you two options:


1. The perfect car & watch engine combo (2 pics max per entry)









2. Your favorite watch movement (1 pic max per category)






In other words: dazzle us with mechanical art!

Open up the bonnet of your Alfa and take a pic of the Tony and the Alfa engine. Job done.

About the only thing good in an Alfa.

I have several. Jocke has one (probably many). I have no doubt Bill has one somewhere. ...  

I expect some cool technical (car) engine pictures from you both.

Perhaps even boat engines combined with watches πŸ˜€

Sadly no engine/watch photos in my image library

Are you hoping for something like this? Sorry, being a hard-core mechanic, when I go to the engine room it's all business My wife asked me to show her -- here's the protocol NO WATCHES and nowadays I take off my ring too, after seeing a friend burn his ha...  

Ah you see! You do have some in stock

And otherwise, it’s time to make some new pics this weekend! *What watch would couple nice with a 2CV 2 cylinder? A Nomos? Pascal Colon? *What would work with a VW 16V Golf engine? Tag H? Breitling? *Porsche Air cooled 6 cylinder boxer? Rolex? JLC? *Ford ... 

This should be fun Arie [nt]
