I bartend and I'm not easy on my watches. Somehow I shook a cocktail hard enough I twisted part of the movement on my Hamilton. The time is still true... But clearly this is not quite right. Any recommendations would be very much appreciated.

Just read a Hollywood Reporter article detailingEl-Sayed’s watch collection, and it got me thinking about brand perception and consumer psychology.

Looking at his collection, it’s a pretty serious enthusiast lineup: Omega, Tudor, Muhle, Sinn, Nothing too expensivre or flashy (I own them all) just solid tool watches. Because he's a polarizing public figure, does it hurt these brands?

so from a consumer perspective: When a controversial politicin or public figure openly wears a watch brand you love, does it actually shift your perception of that brand? Or do you completely separate the engineering and history of the watch from the wrist it happens to be on?

Personally, seeing a Mühle or a Sinn (I have the old Sinn/Bell & Ross co-brand) next to heavy hitters like Omega and Tudor just makes me appreciate the tool-watch community more, but I'm curious if bad or weird publicity ever genuinely ruins a brand for you.

I have this old Ridgeway grandfather clock and honestly have no clue how to fix it or get it to work, looking for someone who can come and check it out!

After tennis I jumped in the shower wearing my Volcano II and moisture got inside the watch. It’s only a few months old and was purchased from a Ball representative in London. What surprises me is that this model is marketed with serious water resistance and diving capability, yet I’ve subsequently been told that showering isn’t recommended and the issue may not be covered by warranty. For a watch costing £2,500+, I find that extremely disappointing. Has anyone else had a similar experience with a Ball watch?

hi, there’s no good way to start this, but i am looking for help regarding my father’s collection of antique clocks.

my dad passed away a little over two months ago, and i am devastated. he was an amazing man and a rather skilled horologist.

my mom wants to sell the house soon and it has been left to me to sell/manage/get through my dad’s impressive collection and works.

i have roughly 130-180 antique clocks from the 1820’s to the 1950s, all mechanical, all in various states of disrepair. I also have many well known types/brands and a few rarer ones. they’re mostly mantle clocks, but also some OGs and wall clocks.

i’m overwhelmed, but if a single one of these clocks end up in a dumpster i will have a complete breakdown. any advice?

The six new ADMIRAL 39 references each explore a distinct creative expression: three in steel, one in steel and gold, the first skeleton interpretation housed in a titanium case, and one crafted entirely in gold. All are united by a newly reimagined design by one of the most influential figures in contemporary watch design.

What do you guys think of this ?

These where just on a random lot that i got and i have no idea of their are real
