Sorry about the seemingly provocative subject line. But it's too long to say: "I finally got the last piece of the puzzle that would make my Omega collection complete and end the unreasonable desire t

I presume Omega would have wanted to have this Speedmaster "Hall of Legacy" event precisely around the time of Apollo 11th anniversary in July. However, nobody could predict if the long-standing polit

My confession is this: I cant seem to have enough moonphase watches. Here's my current stable. As a college student beginning to understand mechanical watches in 1999, I was fascinated by the look if

After experimenting with ownership of several watch models over the years, I have noticed that I tend to like watches with a moonphase function, especially ones with longer power reserve. This one can

I posted this on the Timeout Forum. Hope you will enjoy the watches and the scenery. Ruckdee

I cannot remember with any level of precision the year I first came to know Jaeger-LeCoultre. It was a few years after I developed my interest in watches so that should put it around 2001. At that tim

I had the good fortune of joining the "Treasure of Planet Ocean" trip with Omega Thailand the past weekend. Members of the press and a number of boutique customers boarded the one and a half hour flig

But deep in my heart there's a glow... I have worn this watch perhaps the eighth time today after having acquired it three months ago. Being the work-from-home type, I wear very casual clothes and jea

Given my Southeast Asian location, winter here is more like summer in the rest of the world. Temperature is usually 30-35 degrees Celsius during the day instead of 35-40 C. Nighttime offers more diffe

For some reasons I decided to vacation outside of my country for the first time in twenty years last month. With the Maldives as my choice, there could not have been a better choice than the Planet Oc

I remember making casual remarks on my wish for a new Reverso with calendar and moonphase functions a few times here and one time on the JLC facebook page before SIHH 2011. One year later, my wish cam

I noticed the other day a black dial Master Chronograph with different hands, tachymeter instead of pulsometer, possibly different subdials from before, red "Automatique" inscription under the logo an

But Omega Thailand had a rather classy and elaborated local launch of the new Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean in the coastal town of Pattaya about two weeks ago. I almost had to give up on the event beca

Just when I thought I could keep myself sober from watches for a year or two, Omega launched a timepiece at Baselworld 2011 that I could not find a reason to dislike … the new Seamaster Planet Ocean C

One July evening at the Mandarin Oriental... A couple of vintage Ladymatic pieces on loan from a private collector And the stars of the show that evening Couldn't help wishing they made these with qua

I have a friend whose enthusiasm and dedication to the Omega brand put mine to shame. He is the type of a quiet guy who is easy to smile and laugh but never brag. In his solitude he has slowly acquire

For some reasons the red Omega bag is most appropriate for the Christmas time. Inside is the usual white outer box. And the not so usual wooden inner box. You can probably tell now that the content of

Many thanks to Art, Graham and Respo for reminding me that my 1000th post was coming up. I wouldn't have noticed otherwise! I'm sure questions like "how did you become addicted" or “what drew you to w

No, not yet. That was the Ploprof under black light at a local aquarium a few weeks ago. The actual beach shots are below. :P And it was not a real honeymoon as in I'm so lucky to have finally tied th

First of all, let me make one thing clear: I am not an expert on the subject of watches or photography. All I hope to do is to share with fellow watch enthusiasts a number of photographs I have taken
