Grew up wearing a watch. I still feel naked if I somehow get out of the house and forget to put on the watch. Doesn't happen often.
My new SlowWatch is not just my Watch-of-the-Day but most likely my watch of the year. Got it today and love everything about it. The leather strap here is the 'roughest' and thickest that they have. The other leather ones are rather thin and buttery soft but I wanted something a bit more 'raw' to go with the stainless steel.(The 'writing' on the back is from an un-peeled plastic sticker) So in the span of two weeks I've bought both a wallet and a watch - and the last time I bought either of those were 10+ years ago. I think I'm all leathered-up for spring and summer to arrive. Really happy with both purchases. Slow Jo 17 watch and Popov wallet. May it be at least another ten years before I need to replace either of them.
I really like that Slow watch. I like the one hand concept. The band looks substantial too. As for my watch, I have a Movado Sportivo. I took the photo for this thread a few days ago but am just getting around to posting.
Beautiful. I found a very similar (not nearly as nice) Caravelle (made by/for Bulova) wind-up that finally gave out on me a few years back. Same numerals, hands and indicators as yours. I do miss it...a black faced watch is always a favorite of mine.
Wish I could but I pitched it when one of the lugs broke off. Picture this one with the hands and face layout from yours, and that's it. For a cheap watch, it ran long past it's shelf life.
Yeah - Christmas is just a few months away I hear There's a full tech spec on this page if you scroll halfway down Short answer: Battery. I got mine off Amazon w/ two day shipping. I've been 'practicing' telling the "exact" time from it today (even though that kinda goes against 'slow') and I am now w/in a 2-3 min accuracy every time. I still can't believe what a difference it does to your time perception to view a 24hour watch (on day per cycle). Love it and the band
Great site, thank you -- I'm pretty sure I had a non-self-winding Caravelle version of the Clipper model. I always wished it was in nickel/silver tone rather than gold so to me, THIS is just about the perfect watch: http://www.mybulova.com/watches/1962-jet-clipper-c-2660 Wow. Simple but stunning. Same layout mine had, except with gold case and fittings. I'd retire my Citizen and wear this thing each and every day and never grow tired of it.
I hate to say it but while they're all I wear now, the second-tick of a quartz is tolerable but annoying ever since I wore windups. Probably just me.
Agree about that. I can't actually ever see myself ever getting a watch with a second-hand it just doesn't really have any value to me to know if that particular watch believes its 13 seconds until 4:31pm especially since most watches aren't anywhere near to being that precise. I also don't use my wristwatch to time anything down to seconds.
Your wife has good taste. Well you know, in watches at least The black face looks really nice with that tan leather belt
Several years ago I passed up a Monument field/military style watch at a shop for around $20 I think it was. Probably not the best quality but it was like new and looked the part. Shoulda got it.
