Mine Clearing Divers Watch ...

It's crazy to think 80 years later there are still more than 80% of the half million underwater explosives remaining. ...  

Here is my second entry in to the Boom category. These are B-Uhren watches used by the German Airforce during WW2. These are the first pattern flight clocks worn on the arm for the most part. These were extremely accurate for their day. The large watches ...  

The variety of Airforce watches is certainly impressive.

My unloved Roamer is catching dust, while i had today no resistance to another Roamer. Unloved, but i have i belief a weak spot for what i dislike. Very bad, so i adore it! ...  

Congratulations !

… shots when it arrives! Congrats and enjoy it so much!!

There are a lot of things that make me go 💣 but i try to find some nice pics in my album 🤗 Coffee and watches make me go boom 😉👊🏻 When even less makes you go boom When places make you go 💣 When this crazy hobby makes friends for life 🙏🏻🤗 ……… 💣 Another ama...  

I completely agree, watches, people, places all make for some very memorable “boom” movements. Thank you for sharing them with us along with some sensational watches. Best Captain

Of watches, places and friendships - fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Specially Love the friends wrists shot and the first composition. Well done!! Hagwe! Abel

This Moser is completely my taste, and also this wonderful Akrivia… 🙏

Here are a few of my favorite "boom" things. Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel 1/ First, Portuguese guitar and Fado concerts make me go Boom. I would like Porto's "Ideal Clube de Fado" to be my second home: Gina Santos (singer), André Ovadia Tavares Ma...  

Thanks for sharing the variety and the cool pictures 👏🏻🙏🏻

… exquisite sensibility judging for the things that make you go Boom. Thank you for sharing them. Absolutely agree about the VC CdeV. It made me go boom too! Hagwe my friend! Abel ...  

I'm sure you enjoy it a lot, dear Abel. Cheers, Emmanuel

Loved your pic and the tic-tac ! - Well chosen, my friend ! Best, 😊

Best, Emmanuel

It’s a wonderful watch indeed. Best, Emmanuel

Best, Emmanuel

Fabulous selection of boom moments. I love you choices of art and a Vacheron. Best Captain

Enjoy your Sunday. Best, Emmanuel

of Joan Mitchell - especially #2 und 3 - make me speechless. That’s so strong and impressing. Not to forgot your CdV in Red Gold. A marvel 🙏🙏🙏

These paintings have a power I have found nowhere else (and I weigh my words, having spent so much time over more almost forty years now visiting museums and exhibitions). So, for me Joan Mitchell should be recognised (and hopefully will be someday) as on... 

I didn’t know her work before, and your post truly opened a door for me. Interestingly, her emotional intensity and sense of movement reminded me of a painting I recently acquired by Michela Ghisetti: Of course, the technique is quite different — Ghisetti...  

I didn't know her and the painting you acquired seems deeply vibrant indeed. I'll try to see more of her work. I had seen some paintings of Joan Mitchell overs the years, but it's a huge retrospective of her work in Paris three years ago (organized at the...  

I actually didn’t know Sam Francis at all, and you’ve just introduced me to Joan Mitchell as well. Her work hits me on a much deeper emotional level – there’s something raw and immediate that really speaks to me. Francis feels more distant in comparison, ... 

I agree completely with what you say and how you feel! As far as Mitchell and Francis are concerned, the size of their painting is often very large (for example, I n lovely blueness measures 7 x 3 meters) so that they need to be seen in real life to reall... 

Islay boots are making me go quite boom. As for the watch, I pick the Rolex OP reigning over a red carpet. Best. ...  

Is pure bliss 🙌🏻👏🏻👌🏻🌊

This OP is nice and a future classic for sure. 👌🏻

Enjoy the weekend.

Have you broken them in yet ?

comfortable but I’ll have to get used to them.

… can make me go Boom. But considering watches those which are vintage and found today looking like they had never been worn make me Boom and a wish of taking them home. Also when I visit my favorite watch shop and discover they have received a piece I ne...  

Superb choices, dear Abel and that watch shop must be truly special indeed to regularly produce such gems 💎 Great shots as always 👌🏻🙌🏻

Glad you like my choices and shots. Yes, the cave I used to visit regularly just a few years ago was truly special as it dealt with many high end brands. It has passed some time since my last visit though regret to say. Thank you for your kind comments! A... 

Hopefully the next location we will move to is somewhat more blessed in that department 🤞🏻

I wish you discover a nice cave in your next location!!💪💪👍👍

The Constellation speaks to me in particular. Enjoy your weekend, Abel. Best, Emmanuel

The gold Connie is a very special find indeed. I don’t dare to wear too much and do it only sometimes at home. Viewing it’s polished bevels in contrast with the satin polished case I’m not comfortable thinking I could risk its pristine condition including... 

but I certainly understand your approach as seeing the watch remaining in its pristine condition is also a great pleasure of course! Enjoy your Sunday! Best, Emmanuel

... very dangerous to wear high end watches in general. By the other hand, I find myself repeating the wearing of some of my favorites many times. Thank you for your comments and weekend greetings! Hagwe,Abel

what a privilege it is for me to live without such security issues, except when I go to Paris or when I travel (maybe someday to your country, btw, which I would love to visit at some point)... Wishing you a very nice week ahead! Cheers, Emmanuel

… to be robbed or killed in a street. I wish you will be able to visit us some day. You should only avoid bringing a Rolex or a Panerai and avoid certain places. But you’ll find a beautiful land down here! Best, Abel

Glad you like the gold Connie. I adore it!! Hagwe Salaman!! Abel

Wow Abel, Your Omega Constellation “C” ref 168.009 from c 1968 is a marvel. You were so lucky to find this one. Best Captain

My heart went Boom when I viewed it for first time!! Glad you like it dear Captain ! Cheers. Abel

.. one can wish for ‼️ - Although the Eterna Matic is a very sensible choice, to me the other major „Boom element“ would be that cute Panerai Big Egiziano: what a Macho piece, yet with a sensible charme of strength ! Well done, Chapeau ! - Continue to enj... 

Also agree that the Big Egiziano got a lot of charm beyond its Macho looks. Have a great week ahead my dear friend. Best, Abel

Didn’t know you own the Egiziano It’s such an iconic and impressive piece. You could wear it over a pullover for example. ☺️

This is a very close re issue of Panerai or their original Big Egiziano introduced in 2009 in a 500 watches edition. Its 60 mm big case makes it a crazy choice to wear on any wrist (except Schwarzenegger´s) Of course it was thought to be used over the thi... 

Location Walking the dog Fruits of your labour A good row A bit of competition And of course the occasional swim All shots probably used before, need some new content. Regards Kurt. ...  

They are thoroughly impressive 👍🏻 Thanks for the perfectly composed boom story 🙌🏻

Thank you 🙏🏼

You may post them often if you wish but they are always a joy to view. Hagwe! Abel

I seem to reaching through the archives a lot lately 😀 Thank you also for your kind words. Many thanks, Kurt.

i’m not sure I could choose my favorite pic, too many!

Very happy you like them and many thanks for your kind comments.

Hi Kurt, Good to have you with us this weekend. I absolutely love the last photo featuring your Rolex in the water. Well played ! Best Captain

One of my more daring cellphone pictures lol!

Yes I hope you do get the chance to visit the UK as there is plenty to see in this green and pleasant land. Look forward to your future UK posts perhaps. 😃 Regards Kurt.

Such as… ...  

… so beautiful!! I specially love the last shot with the lighthouse on the background. But… just a minute!! … that first shot! Have you captured a fly or bee flying near your hand!! 😮😮😮 And by the way… can you tell something about the sculpture behind? Ch... 

These are sculptures by Thomas Dambo - Total 6 of them, 5 in the city of Mandurah, Western Australia and 1 in Perth. If one is game for it, you can try to locate all 6 which will take at least a full day. Can be quite fun…but I did not do it…just visited ...
