offshore Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 shultzie, Great article... gives me hope yet! Offshore
TWP Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 Its good to see one of my favorite watches listed in the article. The Freak from Ulysee Nardin. Great article.
NaviChief Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 My brother was telling me about this, but he couldn't remember what paper he read it in. Thanks a bunch!
Watchmeister Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 One of the few enjoyable sections in a national publication I have seen in a long time. I am a fan of the freak too.
crystalcranium Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 I wish "Modern Marvels" on The History Channel" would do an hour on time and time pieces through the ages. The story is interesting on so many levels and has elements of drama, intrigue, science and technology, personalities, magnificent success and failure etc.... If they can do episodes on "Bricks", "Snack food", and "Coffee", they sure can do an hour on a pursuit man has been chasing for thousands of years, accurate time keeping. Personally, I think the finest mechanical timepieces represent the pinacle of man's achievement in purely mechanical technology. Worth an hour on the tube to me.
woody Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 Great read, now, if I can only find that guy that travel in a gym bag, I may be in good shape!
deltatahoe Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 great article shultzie. thanks for passing it along. i often feel a little guilty about all the dollars i spend on reps; that article actually makes me feel better that i don't plan on spending a huge chunk of my bonus on watches....
