  5. Four luxury watches worth a total of ¥200 million were stolen from a store at a shopping complex in Tokyo's Nakano Ward on Tuesday, with the ordeal taking about 10 seconds and a suspect still on the run. japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/08/ #japan #crimelegal #nakano #tokyo #japanesepolice #watches #theft

  6. Best Watch Company Logos, Part 10

    10. Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Initials & Wordmark combo

    Fir the 10th installment of my series on favorite logos, we have one of the rare logos incorporating the wordmark of the brand that I like. Jaeger-LeCoultre’s logo celebrates and remembers the 1937 joining of forces between the watchmaking expertise of Edmond Jaeger and the manufacturing prowess of Antoine LeCoultre. The JL at the top is a symmetrical joining of the last initials of both men and to me, is reminiscent of a pallet fork; making sure that even when not on a watch that the logo reminds the viewer what business Jaeger-LeCoultre are in.

    Moving to the wordmark, the J in Jaeger & final ‘e’ in LeCoultre are joined by an underlining ribbon that makes a visual statement of the joining of the two men’s businesses & passions on all of their watches; an agreement that has lasted almost 90 years. May it long continue.

    What do you think? Does the Jaeger-LeCoultre logo make your list as a favorite or as a not-favorite?

  7. Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 08-19-26

    Keeping the Pook-Emu Bee weekday streak going on this sunny (here in Brooklyn, at least) August 19, 2026. 1 | Vindman Vaporizes $16.2 Million in Loss, Spends 36X DSA Candidate on Ads (Paul Bois for Breitbart. August 18, 2026) & Rep. Cory Mills Unseated in GOP Primary, Ryan Elijah Wins Nomination (Olivia Rondeau for Breitbart. August 18, 2026.) Both of these Florida primary results made me chuckle in their own ways. 2 | Minnesota's "Nudification" Ban Repeats Unconstitutional Errors of Early […]

    On the stopwatch function:
    1 minute, 14 seconds, 2/10
    easiest to read chronograph ever.

    IMO, the coolest watch function is the "central minutes chonograph".

    There is an old Tag Heuer quarts with the feature that is quite reasonably priced these days.

  10. Diese Woche ein Anfall von #Nostalgie im #Blog? Vielleicht. Aber eigentlich wende ich mich in meinem Beitrag genau gegen diese Lesart der Nostalgie und ihre Ausprägungen:

    Die Freiheit, das Alte nicht aufgeben zu müssen ⌚

    Ich trage fast jeden Tag eine mechanische Armbanduhr. Das ist, nüchtern betrachtet, keine besonders vernünftige Entscheidung mehr. Mein Smartphone zeigt die Zeit genauer an, mein Computer ebenfalls, und selbst innerhalb der Welt der Armbanduhren wäre eine einfache Quarzuhr punkto Genauigkeit technisch überlegen. Meine mechanische Uhr schafft es sogar, jeden Monat einige Minuten von der objektiven Zeit abzuweichen – ein Feature, das mein Smartphone erstaunlicherweise nicht bietet. Trotzdem trage ich sie. Nicht trotz ihrer Überholtheit, sondern gerade deshalb.
