but did 2 visits there in 2016 so due another soon - it’s one of my favourite countries. There’s also been work in Frankfurt, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Nantes & Dublin plus London trips every month, sometimes twice - always some pleasures involved too ;-)
As mentioned in the earlier thread, this week’s WS theme is Travel Time. So any kind of watch you regularly travel with, for work, for fun... Be it a world timer, GMT, diver or elegant two hand dress piece. So let’s see what one will be able to see at the...
. . . Exile on Main Street has never been performed live by the Stones. Soul Survivor , Casino Boogie , and most depressingly, I Just Want to See His Face , have never been performed on stage. Mick Taylor had a hand in all of them, so it's not likely they...
Rolex GMT MASTERS: Patek World Time 5110P: Ulysse Nardin Sonata, yes, yes, it is also a GMT watch! And now, in my dreams: Jaeger Lecoultre Duometre UTT: Or / and Geophysic Universal Time: Girard Perregaux WW TC: Audemars Piguet Metropolis: Well... The lis...
... I knew these superb watches were coming from you! All in fabulous pictures!! No doubt are some winners here!! All inspiring shots! Hagwe my dear friend! Abrazos desde las Pampas! Abel
This is probably my worst entry ever. But it’s true, when I travel, this Apple ‘Wrist Device’, is what I am wearing and my watch is in my bag. I find it very usable and fun to use, it even hold my boarding cards. Have a great weekend gents and don’t kick ...
Ok, so here are some few: GP GMT, Gde Date, Moonphase - a great cool companion The Reverso GMT is a versatile choice I often take with me.. JLC Geophysic Universal Time - a superb World Time but almost a bit too fancy.. & this one just is a real GADA ...
... How you do to chose just one of them to wear on the wrist when you actually go traveling! Any of them is most suitable and attractive. A tough choice to make... Unless you take a watch roll with you! Lol! Have a beautiful week end my friend! Abel
.. but I also kinda need only one as it can dress down or up (not as good though), can handle every kind of weather fairly well and can keep time quite accurately. So no surprise that that my trusty 5164A did a good job during a leisure trip throughout Ja...
1 old and 1 new travel watch, plus a few that came along for the ride.... Favourite ferry journey to.... Maroc: Karnataka: Paris: Memories du Mali: Today from the beach: This one still has some traveling to do.... And those that came along for the ride......
I also like this “Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” By Ibn Battuta - a 15C traveller from Tangier. Worth checking out esp a travelogue by a more modern follower in his footsteps ‘Travels with a Tangerine’ Cheers, Gi...
You know, there's something about that first Zodiac that seems so appropriate for traveling in Afrique. It has an aura about it, and it looked perfect in your Morocco shots. To me it was made for that trip; that or for doing naughty things in the Bay Area...

..preset timezones. This is one of them. Fresh from the oven, received yesterday. A cool GW5035A. I know I have seen it with one of our purist members 😋 Cheers ...
A dual time watch with single "fuseau". Manual wind movement drives both time displays so they are always synchronised for minutes shown. The rose gold version bought in rue de la Paix, Paris and white gold piece from Ginza, Tokyo. Cartier Paris Collectio...
First two are Reverso Duo - two timezones one for each face, so no confusion 😁 Or of course there's the Seiko five, robust dependable & unlikely to attract any attention Cheers JML ...
The LM1 with dual time timing, is good for travel too....one for home time, and another for local. Easy to set too, and can do half and quarter hours, great for those visiting the Indian sub continent for example. Best, Horo Hororgasm for PPro ...
Montblanc!! Fabulous!! Not bad option the Seiko of course!! Here my entries this week end: a ref 16710 GMT in Coke bezel colors and a Seiko too: GMT Ltd edition with a fabulous burgundy red dial. GMT are among the best travel companions I feel and these t...
Thanks for your kind words - while I am still thinking of the Montblanc 1858 Geospheres, the GS is being packed for the next journey Two great choices of yours, too! Definitely fully fit for purpose travel wise and looking really cool at the same time
Btw - my extended family of old was based in Argentina (and Uruguay) during 30’s & 40’s setting up first diesel electric generators. Up until the 80’s they where still going - I wonder if they are now? The engines where made in Manchester by Lister Blacks...
... And in my young years in the late 1960's and mid 70's I visited Local Lister offices as an external auditor working for Price Waterhouse of whom Lister was a client. Years later Lister Company was dissolved in my Country and all assets were sold to a ...
My uncle (now in his 80's), and who's parents where based there during WW2 (as a 6yo boy he saw the Graf Spee leave Montevideo), was the last member of the family to work for the company - he would travel to B Aires and conduct meetings from the airport a...
... Interesting to know about your roots and the coincidence with my knowledge of the Lister firm here! Yes, most probably your uncle and my friend have met! Glad to read you my friend! Mis mejores deseos para ti también!! All the best, Abel.
Seiko was the official time keeper for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. They created two World Time watches (6217-7000) to commemorate the Games: one with a grey dial and one with a white dial. These were only produced for that '64 calendar year. White Dial glam ...
Looking forward to your next entries! The thread is generally posted at Friday Midnight Singapore Time (afternoon Thursday in Europe) and runs till Sunday afternoon. There’s a separate thread with results.
