Addiction?

Mmmmm....I seem fixated on these things that go tick....

I have bought a few more Tissots which I will photograph shortly. They are non running as such....well aren't they always? I have been looking at a few Travel clocks from the 50s-60s also but I can't justify the Jaeger clocks at present despite some of them oozing class.

Tissot.....so good.

Having sent away two watches to Michael Swift (horologist) Michael Swift we were pleased to say we will use his services again. Only slight issue is that Mandys watch date does not flick over fully but gets stuck half way. The watches are now keeping great time and the crystal on Mandys has been polished to look like new. The prices we were charged were very reasonable and we had the watches back within the 5-6 week turn around stated.
Mandy sent away a ladies Tissot 2381

Happy....Happy....Happy

Mandy received a little anniversary present off me today. We both have a love of timepieces of all kinds but a wristwatch is probably the most sought, desired, practical and most used of all of the instruments that keeps us running along in our daily lives.


 A lovely little Omega cal 684 with originality written all over it....literally!
To see more info on this watch and it's servicing please see the pages of the blog.

So Far So Good

Having sent my watch back to Christian "The Watch Guy" as the auto winder was just not winding that well I have today had the chance to test it. Well in truth I will be testing it over the next couple of days to see if the auto winder is doing it's job. Christian kindly supplied all the knowhow on what was wrong and after purchasing another doner 431 Longines movement spares...I now think we are in buisiness as this seems a lot better in several way's. Let's hope!
