    He should have brought a lot more watches. He has good taste and seems to favour watches that are less common....pls invite him back. Also, the German Damasko makes watches with fully lumed dials.

    Matt and Co, thanks for the shout out! There actually is a functional use to the rotating Tachy bezel. Heuer released that feature in vintage Autavias from about 1967 to the 1980s. Link below explains it in great detail, but for the Clif Notes version: "While the other major brands (such as Rolex and Omega), with their fixed tachymeter bezels, could offer the sporty look and show the average speed for one measured mile, it was only Heuer that allowed the racer (or his navigator) to compute average speeds over consecutive miles. "
    We included it as a nod/throwback to those vintage racers.

    There is an American watch company called lum tech that made a watch with a full lume dial and contrasting lume for numbers and indices. Usually a military style watch and quarts but amazing quality. Also they make mechanical

    was going to buy a crappy winder off amazon until watching this. in the long run, the Wolf winders are not that much more expensive if you consider you'd have to replace your cheap winders every year when they break

    Who will be the first watch maker to add a "fuel gauge" complication into their movement that will give users a clear indication of how many turns it needs to be wound?

    • @ams914
      @ams914 5 лет назад

      Sounds like a super precise take on a power reserve. Great idea.

    • @Scott9181970
      @Scott9181970 5 лет назад +2

      Well, assuming a power reserve complication is directly indicative of how wound up the watch is, I'm pretty sure you'd have to literally be blind for said complication to not all ready be immediately intuitive as to how many times you have to wind up your watch the moment you do so, which would make wearing a watch pretty pointless, wouldn't it? I guess the real question is how long will it take for a watchmaker to put some script on their power reserve dial to read out how many turns to full at each interval instead of just a straight gauge

    I don’t understand why people buy winders . It’s like idling the car all night in order to drive it in the morning to go to work . Let the watch rest!
