Digital watches/clocks
Here is one I built myself with a 1953 regulators watch movement and a VERY high quality custom made case. Note the micro adjustment! enabeling perfect regulation. The size of the balance wheel contributes to the isochrony. Oh, and don't miss the Breguet overcoil.- Huertecilla

Digital watches/clocks
I agree. I abhor brand reverence, the Veblen thing. I prefer ' sterile' dials/displays. Unfortunately there are nowadays very few un- or discreetly branded watches. Tomorrow I have a lunch date with a VERY sweet lady and plan to wear a mega-sterile watch. Discreet size, simple stainless steel...- Huertecilla

Name for the men's room
we are now going to get. It would be most unreasonable if we would not, so I see that as a fact. There will be a men only room now too; who has a suggestion for the name?- Huertecilla

The Bowler or Derby Hat
Great reading this topic. When reading up on bowlers the history bowled me over. I am deeply involved with horse riding and o.a. have witten a book about 'the game keepers dog': the bowler was invented as a safety hat for horse riding game keepers... Just one other example of the tudududu...- Huertecilla

Digital watches/clocks
Euh.... nope. Not in ANY way. It is just accurately reset and thus on time. That is all. It still is an odd puzzle, still only our agreed clock time definiton and only in 1 hour format at that too. Btw, you clock is off, in need of adjustment. The seconds hand is not in sync with the minute...- Huertecilla

Digital watches/clocks
Clock time is simply an agreed way to represent time in relation to the rithms of days as a result of the earth´s movement in relation to the sun. The only watch truely represnting that is the Seiko Think Earth. The rest is just óne internationally agreed upon standardised concept and only a...- Huertecilla

Digital watches/clocks
Indeed elegant and simple are subjective ant that 30´s tonneau came in digital format too; imo the most simple and elegant of the lot with added (superior) clarity in read out. Stunning example of unconfusing display of hour clock time are the 1890ties IWC digital pocket watches...- Huertecilla

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
This one was originally sold in Asnières, Ile de France, Paris. The shop considered it unnecessary to mention Ile de France, Paris. A wonderful reminder of simpler times.- Huertecilla

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Thanks for the info. Is there a Borsalino dating ´guide´ like for the Cavanagh et al? I am courting a hat I find very attractively shaped with a distinct high straigh top and that does not conform with my perception of fifties+ for the liner cover. It also has a 2,5 cm. ribbon. Not that it...- Huertecilla

Digital watches/clocks
I have REAL high end analogues but as far as styling goes, the digital representation gives the designer way more freedom to create simple elegant time. I mean what can be more simple elegant than just HH:MM ??? Have a look at ´The Watch´ by Flemming Bo Hansen originally made by Ventura...- Huertecilla

Actually, that is far easier for them to deal with than the 12 hour analogue dial. Old timers (pun intended) may be úsed to the 12 hour analogue watch face to represent 24 hours of erath rotation but is ís an illogical puzzle. More incomprehinsible still is the analogue chrograph. I lóve proper...- Huertecilla

Hatventures in Andalucía
btw in dutch a synonym for ´hoed´ (hat) in male context is ´hoofddeksel´ = head-lid = tapacabeza. Which brings me to dutch hats and - hat history. Different topic but VERY interesting since it is a-typical. Today largely forgotten but the dutch language still knows some 50!!! sayings with a hat...- Huertecilla

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Hats are also FUN and not taking onseself too seriously is much appreciated by the female half of the world. At least by those inside of my circle. This may be because the others keep out :o Nah, I remember when I was writing my first book and spending a bit more time at home. Prepairing diner...- Huertecilla

23:44 here so still ´today´: Just took a shower to get all the pollen and assorted plant matter out of my hair/ off my sweaty skin.
