·My trusty 1861 on a visit to Seabrook Island, South Carolina, USA. I bought it five years and two days ago - still love it and still running +2-3 seconds per day.

·And now for something a bit less exotic than many of the selection offered here, recently. A post-WWII Laco (not Lanco). Laco was a major supplier to the German military in WWII. The name is still around. Laco was founded as Lacher and Company, and initially, they used Swiss movements. They merged with the firm Durowe who was a German firm manufacturing movements. This one has a German made Durowe manually wound movement. Typical of exports from Germany after WWII, the dial and movement on this watch are marked FOREIGN owing to backlash toward Germany after the war. Durowe was bought by Timex in the late 1950s because Timex was interested in the firm’s battery powered watches. I’ve shown a Durowe battery powered movement which is marked TIMEX. This is the movement used in Timex battery watches in the early 1960s. I’ve also shown the Durowe manual wind movement as in the subject watch. Marked FOREIGN.

··Not in LA anymore.And now for something completely different 😀
Never underestimate the power of social media marketing. After being hounded relentlessly on Instagram, I finally decided to take the Kuoe plunge. I chose this particular variant because it is more non-military in appearance compared to other models, and the cushion case gives it a nice 70s vibe. I measured the case at 34.25mm at its narrowest, and it definitely wears larger than that measurement would suggest. The thing that is most impressive about pretty much every aspect of the watch is the quality of finishing. The dial, case, quick-release strap, all came with better-than-expected attention to finishing. Even the movement is thoughtfully, if modestly decorated, which is a noticeable contrast to Seiko watches at this price point. Over the first fourteen hours of wearing the watch, the movement is running at about +7sec/day, which is about as good as could be expected.
Note: the apparent misalignment of the text "Automatic" on the dial is a digital artifact, the result of image size reduction.

·Been wearing this a lot of late, I see they are available online at ridiculous closeout prices at the moment.
Genuine ETA 2824-2 beating at 2880 no plastic or ceramic parts, an adjustable regulator that doesn't need to be returned to the factory to regulate.
They had been at aprox1,100 plus following Tissot's mandate of luxury at an affordable price point depending on grade of movement chronometer or non chronometer which in of itself is a crazy low price point compared to other top quality Swiss and Microbrands offered at 3 to 5K, now down to one third crazy stuff! quality pieces at 1/3 of an already head boggling low price.
Cheaper than an Invicta for a beautifully engineered watch with an impeccable heritage and following modern styling, Sapphire front and back nothing dated in these offerings pop in practical modern business settings or dress up occasions when the subtlety of vintage wont cut it.
