<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have always liked the 3 guys from Top Gear (ex), currently The Grand Tour and I do like other shows and documentaries with them as the host. Recently I was watching Richard Hammond's Big. It is his new documentary on Discovery. It is a pretty cool documentary. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Anyway...spotted this on the episode on US Air Force Super Plane (Episode 2 if I am not mistaken). I don't think I have seen Hamster wearing this before, so it must be new. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Yesterday I got invited to an exhibition. It was an exhibition held by Panerai and it was held at Wotancraft. It was not a big gathering but it was an interesting exhibition. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Sadly I did not manage to take any photographs of watches as some of the watches on exhibit were prototypes and we were not allowed to take photographs of the watches.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">However I did get a couple of photographs showing how some of the new cases from Panerai is made and the technology that goes behind making those cases. I do have to say it was very interesting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Apologies for no photographs of watches but I have to say that from what I saw, I have to say that Panerai have indeed step up their game and the overall quality and finish of the watches have indeed improved from the days when I was collecting Panerai. Who knows, maybe one day I will get back into collecting Panerai again. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The watches comes in at 40mm in diameter and is 11.5 mm thin. The lug to lug is 44mm and the lug width is 20mm. The watch does have a display back and like other watches in the new Seiko 5 range (thus far) does not have a screw down crown. The watch is rated to 100M water resistance.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is a review of a custom made leather strap for the MDM Geneve Hublot Modele Depose. The Model Depose comes with a natural rubber strap that MDM Geneve is well known for but it is rather slim at 17 mm wide and 1 mm thin. As such, the decision was made to get a leather strap made for the watch to add some 'bulk' to the watch. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The rubber strap, removed from the watch. The unique aspect of the rubber strap is that it comes in fixed length and you have to go to Hublot to get longer or shorter straps to fit your wrist. And if I am not mistaken, the straps comes in at 2 mm size difference, i.e. 68, 70, 72 mm.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The strap is held in place by screws (2 off each) at the lugs and at the deployant clasp. The holes are reinforced with a metal plate (?) inside the rubber strap. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Anyway, on to the strap that was custom made for the watch. The strap is from Wotancraft, one of my favourite strap makers. They are based in Taiwan and I have been dealing with them for the past decade. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The strap mounted on the watch. As you can see, there is a bund pad or cuff watch band with the leather strap. This was a conscious choice made to further add 'bulk' to the watch, making it larger then it is looks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The back part of the strap and the bund pad. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The leather chosen for the strap is a simple black leather strap with minimal stitching. It does not even come with a backing liner and has a raw finish on the back of the strap. This was done to maintain the slimness of the strap at 1 mm so that it can be mounted on the rather unique design strap mounting points at the lugs. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Lets have a closer look at the mount points of the leather strap. As you can see from the photograph above, the strap is mounted inside the metal 'lips' and is held by two screws. The photograph below shows the mounting points with the bund pad removed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The strap is 20 mm wide along the length of the strap. It is wider then the original. This was made so that the outer edges of the strap lines up with the outer edge of the lugs, giving it a smoother look when transitioning from the watch to the strap. Additionally, it helps to give some 'bulk' to the strap. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Lets look at the buckle side of the strap. The buckle side is 80 mm in length (minus the buckle). There are no stitching save for the ones to hold the strap keeper and buckle spring-bars in place. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The strap comes with two strap keepers, one fixed and the other floating. Each keeper is 7 mm wide and has no lining as well. It is stitched at the joins (butt ends), unlike some straps that are just glued (overlap). </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The stitching is very well executed and uses a vintage coloured (ecru) thread, which I like. The stitching for the spring-bars is simple and is only at the edge of the strap unlike the stitching at the termination of the strap. Nice details. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The buckle is a simple stainless steel pin buckle. The design of the buckle is similar to the pin buckle used on IWC straps. It has a brushed finish at the top of the buckle and is polished along the edge bevelling. It is easy to use. </span></div>

The only failing point of the buckle is that the tang may not sit properly in the notch on the top of the buckle and the inside edge of the buckle can be sharp. This was the case of the buckle on this strap. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Lets look at the other half of the strap, the side with the holes. It is 130mm long and is 20mm along the length of the strap. This side of the strap is totally void of any stitching. The strap is well made and the edges are well sealed. The strap is very soft. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Since this is a custom strap, the holes were made to measure. There are 3 holes, the middle one giving the perfect size. The other two holes? One for weight gain and the other for weight loss (?). The holes are 5 mm apart, giving a total of 10 mm adjustment. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The bund pad is 85 mm long, 42 mm wide and 2.5 mm thick (not including the loops). The pad is very soft and is made of two pieces of leather stitched together. The stitching on the top of the pad is the same colour as on the strap but at the back, it is black. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is a update on the direction of the blog starting 2020. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Firstly I would like to say Thank you to all the people who follow my blog and have supported the blog in one way or another. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Second, starting 2020, the blog will take on a new direction in that the blog will feature more reviews and watch news but less on my journey in the watch world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Third, with regards to my journey and adventure in the watch world, it will be posted on the blog's instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/horocrazy/?hl=en">Horocrazy</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So finally, again a big Thank You to all for your support. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As what is written on the outer sleeve, the book is about iconic watches and stories from the men who wore them. What is nice is the watches shown are iconic to the owners and not limited to expensive watches. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Would I recommend the book? Yeah if you want to know a bit more about what drives some people getting the watches they got, why not. And best of all... the numerous photographs of some very nice and unique watches in the book. That to me, covers the price of entry. And I like the book.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Both watches are Limited Edition and there are only 300 pieces per watch design. Both watches carry the elements that represent the spirit of Eslite, and they are gold, wood and stone. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The watch case is IP coated black and the dial has a marble effect (but some say its actually marble). I believe the watch is powered by a quartz movement and is water resistant to 3 ATM.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well, sort of book review. Perhaps a mook review would be a better description. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Anyway I saw this mook at a bookshop here in Taipei and even though I cannot read Japanese, I decided to get the book. I know that most Japanese mook have lots of pictures and it would be interesting to look through the mook. It helps that the mook is not expensive. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The mook is from 2005, so I guess it explains the price. :)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The mook, Rolex Beginner's Handbook. The handbook covers the breath and depth of the subject matter pretty well. There are lots of pictures and you can basically make out what it being shown.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Thinking it was just another Star Wars watch, I did not bother until later in the day when I passed the shop again. I went in to have a better look..</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Closer view of the watch. I have no idea about the watch but I had to find out more. Sadly there was no one at the store to ask... :(</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">What I found out from the Internet...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The watch is made by a Taiwanese company called 22Studio and before anyone ask, yes the product is an official product with Disney. Evidently they have been making watches for sometime and their first product was via Kickstarter and was a success.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Anyway on to the watch.... watches.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">There are 2 watches in the collection and within each model, there are two finish, PVD Black and Stainless Steel. The PVD Black finish versions are Limited Edition watches of 100 pieces each. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">But before we go into the details of the watches, I found out that the company is known for producing watches with concrete dials. And these watches have the same concrete dial. You can see the dials below.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The unique aspect of the watch is the date wheel. Instead of having the number 4 it has the face of Dart Vader. May the Forth be with you?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have to say that it looks good. The dial is basically the Death Star II and the Tie Fighter. I understand its Darth Vader's and its flying out of the Death Star. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">RJ brings a distinctive design to every wrist with the ARRAW Marine chronograph collection. These timepieces demonstrate the independent watchmaker's excellence in the art and craft of horology, executed in a stand-out style inspired by the marine world. The ARRAW Marine chronograph is the perfect chronograph for all seasons, offering both men and women sophisticated form and function to complement an active lifestyle. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ARRAW Marine's iconic design is instantly recognizable thanks to its four RJ Bumpers. These rubber bumpers punctuate the models’ 42 mm or 45 mm satin-brushed cases, which are available in collectors’ choice of 18 karat red gold, titanium, two-tone red gold and titanium, or black ceramic. The rubber motif carries through to the coordinated white or black rubber accents on the screw-down crown and push buttons.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The RJ Bumpers also draw the eye inward to admire the ARRAW Marine’s sun-brushed, galvanized, and gradient-painted dial. Transparent lacquer emphasizes each dial’s dimensional effect, encased within a domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bold detailing brings each element of the dial into sharp focus, from the hands to the chronograph subdials, which include a small seconds counter at 3 o'clock, 30 minutes counter at 9 o'clock, and 12 hours counter and date window at 6 o’clock. Indexes, numerals, counters, and hands are uniformly plated in red gold or rhodium-plated, then finished with a satin-brushed texture and enhanced with white SuperLuminova. The resulting visual impression is both cohesive and highly legible.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bezels of select ARRAW Marine timepieces have been set with round brilliant or baguette cut diamonds, while the surfaces of a few special models have been fully paved with diamonds, from the bezel to the case. The sparkling diamond set ARRAW Marine models feature anywhere from 1.5 total carats in diamond weight to over 5 carats total.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
RJ has balanced striking form with impressive functionality in the ARRAW Marine. The self-winding chronograph offers up to 42 hours of power reserve. A screw-down crown protects the movement from the elements, reinforcing the water-resistance of the ARRAW Marine up to 330 feet. RJ has also equipped the ARRAW Marine with a clever interchangeable ARRAW rubber strap. Users can easily swap out other RJ strap colors and styles as they please, with no tools required.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I been wanting to send this old Titus watch of mine for a service for the longest time and I finally did it last week. I tried out this new shop around the corner from where I stay. I had to change shops because my usual place have been sold and I don't know the people there. :(</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I found out about this micro brand from my Instagram account and I have to say they are pretty interesting with a very interesting offering. The brand I am talking about is the American watch brand Farr + Swit.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The brand takes its name from the names of the 3 founders, Adam FARRand Hodge, ANDrew Paetzold and Zach SWITalski. How is that for cool....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is their story...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DEFINE YOUR TIME</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At Farr + Swit, we know that time is more than just a number. We measure time not by the hands on our watch, but the moments we make. That’s why we aim to make quality watches that do more than just track your steps or connect to your smart phone. We believe that a quality watch doesn’t need to be updated or re-charged. The true mark of a fine timepiece is one that lets you define and capture the time that matters most to you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
WHO WE ARE</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are watch guys. We love the way that a quality watch has a way of capturing and collecting the most memorable moments in our life. And for us, most of those moments coincide with our love of travel. Farr + Swit was formed out of our desire to create quality time pieces that can serve as memento of the many adventures of life – whether it’s pitching investors in the boardroom or enjoying a sunset and scotch on the beach.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our flagship watch, the Seaplane Automatic, was born out of our passion for first-rate craftsmanship that spans generations. Made with only the highest quality materials and a meticulous eye for design, the Seaplane Automatic features Swiss workhorse automatic movements and is assembled in the USA. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The watch is currently available on a limited release of 500.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And on to their offering, the Seaplane Automatic. The watch comes in two guises, the Seaplane Automatic Midnight Landing PVD Black and the Seaplane Automatic Day Trip Stainless Steel. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The watches are basically the same watch but with different case finish. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
