Travels, escapes from our everydaylife, as a glimpse on our wrists. Show us your " travel watches "! For me, today, and for the week end, a Watch I didn't wear for a long time, and which deserves more, much more wrist time, the Amvox I Titanium. An Alarm,...
... work took me an hour this morning. But I had the perfect watch to time it with - the Girard-Perregaux 1999 Chronograph. And a nice watch makes every day a holiday. At least that's the way for me to stay 'in theme' and share what I am wearing today. Im...
This used to be my steadfast travel companion: And I must admit I miss the EWC often. But now this one seems to be serving as a fine travel buddy: The VC lacks the world time function, but it is a bit more versatile and lower profile while traveling, whic...
.. For humble me , I'm mostly not sure, if the WT feature is really that much important - my most important feature is a second time zone / GMT feature.. My best & HAGWE ! hs
...a more useful function than the world time, IMO. But the world time function is more romantic, shall we say. Thanks for the compliment on the VC Overseas. Best, respo
Both are big strog watches! Must say I am leaning towards your current budy due to the more sofisticated and elegant look.... But I understand that you miss the EWC..... Who wouldn't?! Best, my friend Blomman
here are a few GMT pics on this theme!... Travel: passport...visas... Travel: plane Boarding pass: Maps... Visits... Romance... Postcards and letters... Matt ...
You can take a picture of the Concorde any time, this one is on display full time on one of the ring roads of Gharles de Gaulle airport so I see it pretty much every week! Matt
That this was an Avro 504K Biplane D7560 from the Royal Flying Corps in WWI. The picture was taken in the Science Museum in London a few months ago. Cheers, Dean
... since the quest for the "perfect travel watch" is what keeps me busy and dedicated since more than a decade. Consequently, I never had the same watch on two vacations so far. Here is just a small collection: As said before, just a small...
... was a model released by a micro-brand named Timefactors. The watch was more or less a private label product, but with several unique design elements, so it was not simply ordered from a OEM catalogue, but specifically made to the specifications of Tim...
it looks pretty bomb proof, affordable so wouldnt matter too much if damaged. very similar to my Zenton bronze, Airnautic Early bird homage and a couple of others i own. best G
it would be this one: Previously dubbed "The Croatian" by Damjan. A colorful companion, fearless of adventure and no issues when moving in unknown territory and neighborhoods 8) These three have also been trusty travel companions: IWC Fliegerchronograph 3...
glad that name stuck :) You should just spin the Globe on your first picture to the right and then you'll be on right lace with your watch ;) HAGWE Yours D
World heritage in fact. The third is much more off the beaten track: The Russian island of Sakhalin. The ship in the background is an LNG tanker headed for Japan. Thanks for your nice comment, my friend. Nikolaj
... the "Monumental Landmarks" thread on HoMe last week, Nikolaj. [ click here ]. Really evocative pictures of the Taj Mahal and the Giza pyramids. Perhaps we need a Seven Wonders of the World thread?! Regards Andrew
GMT is perfect for travel... However, actually I liked my DSA a little bit more as it was lighter, more comfortable and a definitely more stealthy Best, Sam
.. I am saying this, as one of my latest acq's is its cousin, the GMT 116710 BLNR ( black/ blue) , I guess soon will be also one of the first choices... I am sure, you are enjoying yours a lot !! Best, hs
Looking for somewhere new to go... All packed... Satphone ready... Packing for diving... Maybe a little skiing... Or laying by the pool... Where the Negroni? or half way up a mountain... By the beach is always good... Especially when they have cold beer.....
.. my fav shot of the series is the one where the blue sea behind the boat has turned white in part and blue sky & sea contrast the watch presiding over this hilarious " good times" moment.. My very best and gave a great WE ! Best, hs
Here one of my favorite choices, when travelling: My trusted Reverso Gde GMT, (last summer) (as there is 8 days PR, GMT & night and day, and two time zones).. - and secondly what my wife and I are wearing this WE .. in the mountains A perfect & versatile ...
watches on many trips. I have become more and more pragmatic. I like a watch you can read at a glance, see the GMT during the day and night and not be too worried about the watch getting banged around or wet--especially wet. So this nicely sized work hors...
.... a bit strange, we had quite a rough touchdown but that was because finding a good spot was difficult..... sooo we actually did NOT find that good spot :-). On most other balloontrips there were no glitches but finding a safe landing spot remains a to...
... a bridge between words "Watches" and Travel". As a matter of fact, any GMT reference will do: vintage or modern renditions. I guess this 16750 is a good compromise between old and new, with its transition configuration of plexi and silver ring indexes...
.. Offering the best of both worlds: Modern vs Vintage - your so nicely patinated GMT , (116750 as a transitional model) is the perfect example ! Wishing you continued joy with yours, Best + HAGWE !
... reference 16750. The patina moved me to get it, as well as being a transition from the vintage plastic era to the more modern models of GMT. It was made in 1986, but it came with some original documentarion including the chronograph certificate and in...
Do you think it had the original bracelet. If so which model. It was very common in that period that the flip lock oyster bracelet with 580 end links. The serial number first three digits. The swiss t < 25 is the _ aligned center or to the side. Thanks...
I feel this package is original as it came to me. Bracelet 78360 with 580 end links, no flip lock. Serial nr 9.46x.xxx Came with chrono certificate dated 1986 and original invoice of Aruba AD dated 1989. Swiss - T <25. The - dash between swiss and T is...
. . . this is the one I'd take on a long trip. Hacking seconds for ease of re-setting, reliable, steel, legible, exceptionally comfortable on its custom fitted shell cordovan strap, and low-profile (unlikely to be recognized by ne'er-do-wells). Art ...
. . . the view from the back is an ice-breaker when meeting strangers in a social setting after I let them know watches are my passion. The Sixties has worked wonders for me on a few occasions. ...
.. that is a real connoisseur's choice ! That way you will be ready for all, when travelling.. Wishing you furtheron successful & safe travels and rewarding trips ! Best, for your remaining Sunday and the upcoming week, hs PS: in fact, that is one of the ...
You can see it on my wrist in this shot, while I work the "Coffee Grinder" during a sailing race off Catalina Steering.... Here in South Africa, with my nephews in the background, at the end of the morning Game drive, time for tea or coffee in the bush......
.. I can imagine, that she makes a perfect comrade, on adventures & such; - specially liked the dynamics of the sailing pic ! Kind regards & HAGWE ! hs
.. that sea ( with the rock) as background of the first shot make a splendid mood, IMO. And I guess, the Chopard will be simply perfect for any "dressy" occasions.. :) Have a good remaining Sunday & a great uocoming week ! Best, hs
Actually, I will commute in Paris on Monday at 5am on my way to Madrid. I wish I could stay for the day and finally enjoy a dinner with the French PuristS Team! :(
This is my companion....for MOST travels But this one is on ALL travels. Just due to the ease of setting time without worry of timezones and t that it blends in quietly. ...
.. where and how is the 2nd time zone on the UN set and displayed ? - has it something to do with the indication @ 9 (?) .. I really liked both of your pieces: set for all encounters and endeavours .. Best, hs
Thanks for the kind words. They're two beautiful pieces of work and art. The window on the UN at 9 o'clock displays the home time in numerical fashion and the two pushers at 8 and 10 o'clock respectively moves the main time backward and forward in one hou...
not being in the position where i can afford to lose one of my good watches if i were to travel somewhere other than a purists gtg i would betray the mechanicals and wear this, my Citizen ecodrive perpetual calendar, dual time minute repeater. in truth it...
yep the red arrow is the date, press one of the buttons and the dual time zone turns into month and year. nice tone to the repeater as well. all in all a well made watch. best G
.. your last phrase is absolutely true, also for some here, including myself - Guess it's how much of your treasures you need to chaperonize on a trip .. and maybe how much horological finesse you'd like to take along and also reveal.. These are very hone...
If it is for business I take the Memovox. Useful, elegant and quiet (well, at least as long as it does not ring). While on leisure trips I normally have the Fortis GMT on my wrist. Virtually indestructible, with a second timezone and sweat/waterproof. Fun...
If I was dealing on the Chinese Wall I would be one of the poor people who carry all their souvenir and snack stuff up to the wall and then along the wall to remote towers in the hope to sell a little to the tourists passing by. That did not look like a f...
to spend two extra days when I was in Beijing last December. Visiting the Great wall was mandatory. As was a trip to the forbidden city. I was surprised to find the "Hall of clocks there". Lots of artistic clocks that were collected in the palace. And mor...
. . . which really is a shame - they're one of the better established makers, and their offerings are a pretty good value. I owned a Fortis flieger chrono many years ago, and ended up giving it to a friend who still has it. If I had a real need for an ala...
There is a good number of Fortis watches that are worth wearing. Even if there is a ETA/Vajoux movement inside the watches around that are rock solid an reasonably priced. The Spacematic Alarm Chronograph had been on my wishlist too, but back then when I ...
