  1. Watch Fact of the Day: The Mechanical Alarm That Won Over US Presidents

    So, back in 1947, Vulcain rolled out a game-changer: the Cricket wristwatch, which could actually wake you up thanks to its super loud mechanical alarm. This wasn't just any watch; it turned its case into an acoustic system, delivering a noticeable buzz when the alarm went off. The Cricket became a favorite among U.S. presidents, earning it the nickname "The Presidents' Watch." Fast forward to today, and the updated Crickets still bring that cool mechanical charm, buzzing away without any batteries or electronics. It’s a cool reminder of how watchmaking tech stood out way before the digital age!

  11. My brain needs to stop. I don't have any proper dress watches as I love modern complications and dial design. A part of me feels I need a classic dress watch so when I go out in a suit I'm not flashy, but only those that know will know. I like this because it looks like I'm rolling straight grandpa. It's classic. #watches #PatekPhillipe patek.com/en/collection/calatr

  16. Watch Fact of the Day: The Omega Speedmaster Was Originally Designed for Auto Racing

    The Omega Speedmaster started its journey back in 1957, aimed at motorsport enthusiasts, not astronauts. It was part of Omega's "Professional Line" with design features like a tachymeter scale for measuring speed, making it a go-to for racers. But plot twist: the Speedmaster ended up being picked for NASA's Apollo missions, earning its nickname "Moonwatch." This unexpected shift from the racetrack to space made its story super intriguing. The watch, built for speed on the ground, became legendary for traveling to the Moon. It's a prime example of how an object's purpose can evolve dramatically over time.

  27. I wrote a post about the latest addition to my watch collection, this time also in English: The Omega Seamaster Professional 300M that surprised me kulman.sk/en/omega-seamaster-p

  28. For a long time I have been looking for a midsize (36mm) Omega Seamaster for my small wrist. Omega stopped making midsize versions years ago. Now it is just 41mm and 42mm.

    I originally wanted the "Bond" one with light blue aluminum bezel insert but that scratches very easily so it is very hard to find one in a good condition.

    I found one with steel bezel for a good price and could not resist.

    For a 20-25 years old watch it still looks very good, no big scratches or over-polishing and more importantly it still runs well so no servicing needed for now.
