Hi Ken,
Here are the results of the Watch of the Week jury (in person).
As usual a difficult choice to make.
Starting off with 3rd: Nilomis' Omega Speedmaster HB-SIA (Solar Impulse). This watch wasn't on my screen at all until driving home this evening I passed the airfield in Payerne and saw a tremendious well lighted airplane land in the dark. It was moving so slowly it seemed to just be hanging in the air suspended by invisible threads from above. It was most certainly a test flight of the HB-SIB, the second generation of the Solar Impulse plane. If I remember correctly it is only 3 or 4 months until they will attempt to fly around the world using only solar energy for the entire trip with this plane.
2: 4Js' VC Day/Date/Moon Chrono has an incredible dial that just shines in this picture.
Watch of the Week: Jporos' Ventura. This combination of watch- and industrial- design is absolutely compelling.
Best regards,
Don"
Wow, this week is for Nilo, Jporos, and 4Js! Congrats!
Thank you, Don and other judges, for doing the difficult task. And everyone who submitted, good job!
Have a great week!
Ken
