"Work is the curse of the drinking classes" (Wilde)...
Today (thankfully!) is Saturday, so there is some reprieve from the 'joys' of work.
For Damjan: this photo was taken from a window at the back of the 'daytime office' yesterday - it's a new feature on the building opposite:
The 'home office' is a much more agreeable workplace. The only remonstrations come silently from a sadly neglected 'Starvin' Marvin' in one corner of the study:
When work finally concluded yesterday, it was off to a quick meal and then a terrific concert. Art, can you guess?:
You guessed correctly! Finally, the watch which spent the week at work (and at least one night recreating):
Have a good one folks.
Cheers,
pplater.

Thank you my dear Nicolas. Yes this little detail makes for...
... a very Big difference. This type of watches, so massive and well seventies is not my favorite, but being connected with our own Air Force makes for a nice thematic collection. This is my second Autavia AAF, and I got two Omegas chronos of the AAF too....
The 666, right?
This very one? I should have caught it when I could but I am happy if it is yours. Un abrazo. Nicolas ...

Yes, it is nice to read that when I look at the dial.
I love the rather dramatic guilloché on the Saltarello. Thanks for looking, my friend. respo
The blend with the jumping hour is magic, I agree. And the decorated rotor...
Should have also been used in the Mercator, which is to me the only weak point of this last watch. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Hmmm . . . now there's a theme . . .
. . . we haven't tried yet: watches that drive you to distraction. And with video - better yet!
The mobile office
I'm working coast to coast this morning, with a brief break for fun . . . . . . and two long flights. Waiting on the taxiway now . . . . . . and hoping my connecting flight arrives. The long walk (flying nuns?) Resetting the times zones (or, "I guess I ne...

Judging from your second picture, some clients waited a bit too long. ;)
Nice watch, by the way! You should have taken a skeleton wrist shot. ;) Best, my dear friend. Nicolas
Nah, he received very prompt service!...
...unfortunately, after paying the bills he couldn't afford food. (The watch was once his, too.) ;-) Toutes mes amitiés, Cheers, pplater.
That reminds me a coroner, who, once, during a reconstitution said to the Judge...
" Your honor, I am a bit in hurry, can I leave? ". I answered her that her clients could wait a bit... More. The judge was laughing... To death. :) Best, mon ami. Nicolas
My dearest mate
you work in good neighborhood ;) .) I should have listened to my wife few decades ago and went south :) Yours truly D
Working? Oh, yeah!
This one is so subtle, and anti-magnetic. Working around PC all day and meeting many people every day is no problem :-) No eye popping design, yet, great machine which very few people know.... :-) HAGWE! Ken ...
Genta design, no? . . .
. . . one of his more orthodox visions, compared to his more celebrated works. Easy on the eyes, as we say Stateside . . .
Sharp, Art!
Yes, Genta is one of my few themes in my collection :-) One more to go :-)
Watches off limits at work
Hi Art, as desinfectants are regularly apllied and gloves are used in my workplace, wearing a really nice watch and strap would be difficult. As it is prohibited, the problem does not exist :-)! But this Aristo Beobachter might be a suitable choice for th...
Hej anaesdoc !.. That Aristo is a very cool piece.. Straight sobriety and clear lines.. A perfect no-nonsense watch !.. Cheers !!.. :))
PS: as I can see, almost all tools ready for i.v. work, w/o watch..
As it happens, I've just spent 33 consecutive days . . .
. . . visiting a hospitalized relative, and never once noticed an interesting watch on any of the staff physicians. A universal condition in the medical field, perhaps? (Mike T posted his experience wearing a PuristSPro ABR during surgery; I wonder if he ...
Very common nowadays to see naked wrists in hospitals
Hello Art, I hope your relative is doing better, feeling at least a little better after each of your visits I am sure. Hospitals have to deal more and more with multi-resistant bacteria and therefore have intensified their hygienic efforts. Whether it con...
Office in the air this weekend
My office?? Is on the plane this weekend lol! Flying to New York now from Singapore. Will be in New York next week. Following week either in Columbia or going to China (not confirmed yet but either of this has to happen!) Here is my office with my Reverso...
Thanks Nico
I should have asked for tomato juice or red wine as my drink for this pic on the plane. Vlad red watch and drinking "blood" Muahahhaah Cheers Robin
That's the tyranny of the digital world, Robin . . .
. . . you're never away from your work, even at 35000 feet ;-) . . .
LOL Art!
Just landed in Frankfurt for a quick transit to NY. :) Have a great Sun! Cheers robin
. . . and, when you're ready to retire . . .
. . . here's the song . . . . . . to play at the send-off ;-) . . .
Office view
For a few more days this is my view from the office....and I managed to get my Geophysic in there too. Claus ...
Dizzy view - oh yes
Hi Nicolas, Haha - yes it is quite dizzying. I have had a few friends visiting that had to step back from the windows....quickly. 45th floor of the Chrysler Building in Manhattan. Such a cool place Claus
