Something fairly old to start something brand new; a 1930ish Hamilton Ross:



I love the Art Deco index. Pun somewhat intended, the styling is timeless...

Spent the afternoon learning about the Russian Space programme at the Cosmonauts exhibition... And got myself an age appropriate reference book from the gift shop

The turn of the year lets me check and wear some of my perpetual calendar watches.

This one fits easily under the cuff (35 mm diameter, 10 mm height), pure dressy understatement, contrary to the Portugieser shown yesterday.

This is an extremely rare IWC Ingenieur Ewiger Kalender (Perpetual Calendar) in White Gold. Reportedly eight pieces were made for a Swiss retailer. I've never seen a second example.

The movement IWC cal. 3758X is based on the ETA cal. 2892-2, piggybacked with Kurt Klaus' ingenious perpetual calendar mechanism.

In reality the dial is not as legible as the photos suggest, but the very thin hands are filled with Tritium and the dial has tiny dots.

Enjoy,

Mick

Back on the wrist for another relaxing afternoon. I wasn't going to photograph it but the light caught the dial just-so, and I couldn't resist...

Had a mini-GTG this morning with neighbor-fellow collector @pcdubc...The JLC on the right is his new one; the arm is mine. 😉
