  1. 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

  2. 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.

  6. In this year's GPHG Jewellery category, seven #watches competed for six nomination slots. Picking six at random is mathematically guaranteed to include five of the six eventual nominees. That is why Time the Destroyer, writing at Free Sprung, reports his model's 65% hit rate (55 of 84 nominees) as a 78% lift over the roughly 37% random picking would deliver. He also sealed his forecasts in password-protected PDFs before the nominations. freesprung.substack.com/p/read

  9. Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 08-05-26

    Two Pook-Emu Bee daily links in a row? What in the world is going on here? 1. Mega Drive, Saturn And Dreamcast Watches Are Coming To Japan (Damien McFerran for Time Extension. July 5, 2026.) The Dreamcast watch looks cool. The other two are a bit too dark (granting the Genesis and the most well-known Saturn model were black). 2. Random: Fire Emblem's New Game Adds Some Serious Firepower (Liam Doolan for Nintendo Life. July 5, 2026) The new Fire Emblem looks great. I would be excited but […]

  10. 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

  11. 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.

  12. #Rolex #Watches #StatusSymbol #Society

    I never really understood the concept of Rolex watches. I mean, have you ever seen a Rolex? They're hideous!

    I suppose they cost lots of money because they're a status symbol, which they are because they cost lots of money? Still strange how they got there. Why would you want to spend a 5 digit number just to show off bad taste?

  13. Hi all! I studied computer science with a focus on RTOS and FP/PL, but I graduated law school earlier this year. I practice at a boutique firm that primarily handles IP cases. I foilboard and I play way too many rhythm games in and out of the arcade.

    I contribute to open source projects where I can, and I write up my experience in my digital garden which I’ve been maintaining for 2 years now. It’s also a good place to find usage tips for projects/tools that you might want to use.

    My passion for tech also includes privacy, and I’m an advocate for minimizing your digital footprint. GenAI is a scam and its purveyors are causing real harm while they sell it as hard as they can.

  14. The new Garmin Fenix 8 series starts at $1,000 and goes up to $1,200. Garmin has lost their minds.
