    Why is it, the more we wear a well worn, vintage watch the warmer it starts to look? Is it simply because it is ours or is it a real thing?

    It wouldn't seem right to like that. I can only sympathise with the obvious distress and hope it isn't too bad.

    Oris. How that brand has changed over the decades. If you are interested in the humble beginnings of Oris as a brand, check out the thumbnails on the Ranfft archive. Back in the day, Oris was a brand was aimed at the “popular”price ranges (read “cheap”!). Some pin lever, low jewel counts, Rocker bar winding systems. They were still a cut above some of the other brand offerings in and around their price range. Obviously, somebody bought the name and any good will that came with it, and turned it into the brand we see today.

    Wabi-Sabi ..... Its the essence of why vintage is so compelling.
    In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence, specifically impermanence, suffering and emptiness or absence of self-nature. Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty,
