Cocks on clocks (Part the Sekonda)

I like it. I’d like one but I certainly wouldn’t buy one. I would have absolutely no use for it. It’s a pointless lovely shiny thing.

Aren’t they all if you have a smartphone?

I thought I too wanted a UN Marine Chronometer until I had the opportunity to try one last week on a bracelet. The proportions felt wrong, too much dial with a thin bezel made it look like a clock on my wrist. I wish they kept the proportions of the 38mm model from several decades ago, which in 42mm form would be spot on.

Opposite the Pharmacy in the village here there’s this odd little shop that I had never paid much attention to. It looked like your standard watch repair place with lots of straps and things. However, I decided to google them today and oh my!

It says “maker of beautiful things” on the window and I agree.

That one is a bit Blakes7 for me but the ‘Dark One’ is a nice piece of work.

Next time I’m down there I’ll pop my head in and say hi. It was locked up today.

Always rather liked them, but goodness me their prices have shot-up in recent years! Then, what hasn’t?
