Industrial Evolution
I'm not generally an openwork / skeleton fan, but this Speake-Martin is really impressive. Maybe I'm particularly drawn to it because I just watched the movie Hugo...
The movement and aesthetics really do remind me of a shinkansen locomotive, built for both power and speed but at the same time ease of ride and a touch of elegance. Nice watch.
Thanks for the report Ken!
Thanks for the report Ken!
Tokyo Watch Exhibition - Urwerk, Moser, Erwin Sattler, Speake-Marin....
As previously reported as a "preview", the Tokyo Watch Exhibition is now going on in Ark Hills in Akasaka. Here are some of the highlights I could not touch upon and short interviews with the gentlemen from both Moser and Urwerk. Please make sure to read ...
Yeah, I would like to try that, too...
.. to see how the "internal timegrapher" works :-) Ken
I love those Mosers...
The Urwerk is one of the least appealing IMHO I have ever seen in their line, and I do like the occasional Urwerk , The SM is beautifully made but looks very unwieldy on the wrist. Thanks for this fun report.
Moser....
Those new perpetuals from Moser are stunning. Particularly the all gold titanium, somehow wish the case finishing was less glossy like the strap. Would love to find the opportunity to handle one of these at some point. Thanks for a great post.
The Speake Marin
Minute repeaters, how did you find the sound? When i first heard this model 1-2 years back it was quite soft, granted it was a prototype then. Maybe the harmonics improved. Is this one a finished watch?
Yes, this is the finished piece unique product...
... the minute sound is somewhat with less echo or reverbration.... But other than that, a beautiful piece! Ken

Interesting group of watches
Moser does it for me.....the titaniums and their movement are stunning. The urwerk is a beast.
A agree. Titanium Moser is really stunning....
.. and Urwerk beasts are very, very well made.
Nice Moser PC especially the titanium black dial
But the vagabondage 2 is simply gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
That would be my choice, too...
... hahaha, the other attendees watches were nice, too.
Fantastic report, KIH!
I must admit that perpetual from Moser is really beautiful. I am glad to see them intrudicing new models. Best, CaliforniaJed
Yeah, I, too, am hooked by the black titanium black dial Perpetual, too!
.. it is incredibly light and the matt black strap is soooo nice.... :-) Thanks, Jed! Ken
