I just forked over another $600 for my Omega to be polished and brought back to 100%. Enough of that, I'm going to sell it and stock up on Hamiltons, Victornoix and what ever else tickles my fancy in the $500 range. It seems like good quality quartz watches have come way down in price while the automatics have rebounded substantially. As far a "expensive" watches go if I blow out my quarterly bonus I am thinking about the new Omega X-33. Which I still don't need, I'm back in the country and my day to day habits off shoveling poop, shooting critters and tinkering with my house usually forces me to take my nice watch off.

Lately I've been telling time the way my wife did under the Khmer Rouge regime. Looking at my shadow ...

I really liked the quote in the article about the watchmaker's opinion that robots were the best choice for precision placement of parts: "We'll see."

Very nice, short history about Swiss watchmakers.

Swiss watchmaking emerged from a radically different background, one rooted in meticulous manual labor. The industry got its start in the 16th century after John Calvin persuaded the City Council in Geneva to impose sumptuary laws banning jewelry, and the city’s skilled jewelers joined forces with the makers of pocket watches instead.

Later, French Catholics chased Protestant Huguenots out of their country; many of these French exiles happened to be watchmakers, and they settled in Switzerland. In the mountains of the Jura region, they encountered local farmers who spent half the year indoors and idle and who turned out to be extremely patient and detail-oriented. The émigrés hired them to spend their winters hand-polishing tiny metal components for the “movements,” the watch’s spring-driven inner workings.
