Watch heaven

**gwpriester** · 26 April 2009, 02:54 PM

While searching for a watches website to demonstrate the fact that most watches and clocks are photographed set to 10:10:20, I came across this website Watchismo.

I have always loved watches even though I have not worn a watch for years (why bother, I am never late so what's the point?)

But if money were no object, I could do a lot of shopping on this site.

Wow - great site Gary - I agree, some crazy designs - tempting buys.
Like you - I haven't worn a watch in years (my mobile phone is always in my pocket anyway)

Here's my choice of cool watch:

STORM MK 2 CIRCUIT - SLATE

Great find Gary. I love watches, but don't have the money to indulge.. :-(

Yes, that one caught my eye too Steve. Unlike you and Gary, I feel naked without my watch - This ones mine. It was given to me when I left my last job.

It was bound to happen...

One of my favorite indulgences=watches! I have a lot of 'em. One of my favorites is this 2008 Renato which has enough bling to dazzle in the sunlight even at the gas station.

I must have missed something. I didn't see a Hopalong Cassidy watch.

I have three of Daniel Will Harris' Reveal watches, one in black, metal, and orange. Daniels watches are in the MOMA and Daniel is a long time Xara user and one of the judges for the contest to have an image in Gary Boutons' (Other Gary or OG) upcoming Xara Xtreme book.

And I have a Citizen Echo drive Chronograph, similar to this one but with a gold and chrome band.

This one gets my vote as one of the coolest watches ever -- the 1950's era Hamilton Ventura. The first battery operated watch. There's several versions and reissues/copies around.

Yes, you've seen it on MIB.
