. . . let's share our favorite sports teams . . . . . . along with the watch (or watches) currently on our wrist this weekend. My favorite team? The Raiders. Oakland was their birthplace . . . . . . but when they moved to LA yours truly was beside himself...
So Max is my fav driver at this moment but after visiting McLaren last year and Ferrari this year i think McLaren is a much better organized team and will win both championships this year . Hope to visit Mercedes next year when possible The watch on my wr...
. . . is Penske. Sports Illustrated has a Sportsman of the Year award. In 1972 I sent a letter to SI nominating Mark Donohue. They published it; I found out when a classmate congratulated me when he received his subscription copy. ...
I do not remember ever consistently supporting a team in any sport and I cannot really say why ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ My grandfather was rooting for me to become a professional football player, a dream that died for him around the time I was two (showed no inclination in ...
They also both employed Italian management at some point ๐ The old Zastavas have the characteristics of old Fiats - you can rev them till the valves poke out of the bonnet and only then change gears ๐ And most didnโt have a rev limiter, so with a long eno...
Hello dear Art and friends ! I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Ferrari has a particular aura around it. Itโs difficult to pin down exactly what the magic is but the Italian passion for building beautiful racing cars and winning races is exception...
Both Ferrari and Porsche being truly storied brands in that respect. Great shots and watch pairings there. As for Fernando being faster than you, had the privilege of being driven by two F1 drivers and they are indeed a different breed. As was Ari Vatanen...
Given the time this weekend, I would have loved the opportunity to say so much more about the past and particularly the Group B era of rallying. Maybe next time ๐
Ari was the only one I have been driven by but they are all amazing drivers. And it was an era I sadly didnโt get to experience live first time around ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
In all the years I've owned the Panerai 1033 GMT she has never kept accurate time. One day it could be ahead 30 seconds, the next 20 seconds behind. Been to Panerai Texas service of course, twice, still not a good timekeeper. But she does weigh you down. ...
Need to share it with my wife ASAP - I want that San Marino football jersey ๐๐๐ป๐๐ป And you raise an interesting point - does accuracy even matter in a modern mechanical timepiece?
Bob at Panerai Naples is a GREAT guy!!! i love their desk/table 8-day Panerai clock, it is used every night for years as my night time clock. It's also big, solid, and double as a hefty weapon. Hmmmm, Panerai being weaponry...... And they are cute, and ea...
But rarely wear the same watch long enough for the accuracy to make any difference. And if that is for whatever reason important thereโs a Grand Seiko quartz or Spring Drive movement to keep me sorted. The watches may fulfill many needs for us nowadays bu...
Some things are obviousโMax and Magnusโbut not everyone knows Magnus Carlsen, the chess Grandmaster. Heโs a brilliant all-rounder: a master of chess, a sharp poker player, and someone whose talent for deep, multi-level calculation feels mathematical. His ...
Liverpool is red - Everton are blue. Until Everton moved to their new stadium this year Goodison & Anfield really close & could see each others stadium. Cheers JML
I'm sorry I can't participate personally, as I don't follow any sports closely and don't actively support any teams. But when I saw this theme, I immediately thought of Audemars Piguet chronographs with a 45-minute counter for measuring the halves of a so...
. . . is pool. Dr No's Team USA has been outmatched the last twenty years. The Mosconi Cup is still the team sporting event that draws my attention. ๐ฑ
But someone whoโs recently caught my attention is F1 driver Pierre Gasly, who collaborated with H. Moser & Cie. to create a truly beautiful watch. I should be receiving mine next week โ really looking forward to it! By the way, Iโve been wearing my IWC Po...
Football was great. Packers, Vikings, Raiders, Oilers, Niners, Steelers and (grudgingly) Cowboys. Baseball was great. The cars were legendary; gear-heads up and down the street we lived on. The only thing horrible was high-school...with the exception of s...
. . . is the Los Angeles Dodgers. I've been to maybe two hundred games over six decades including two play-offs, but the lion's share was during the first thirty years. Not much for attending sporting events anymore; traffic, parking, and expense are just...
My grandfatherโs dreams of making me a pro football player petered out before I was two I have been to many matches. Friends, workโฆ fun but not something I craved to make a regular event. Motorsport too but here I wouldnโt mind more ๐๐๐ป
