I can smell the bread baking from here ...
... nothing better than time to yourself in the kitchen early in the morning. I would swap the tea for an espresso, but otherwise a perfect scene.
My aunt on the diary farm was an award winning home baker. My memory of fresh scones and bread when I stayed on the farm as a child is very vivid. You have inspired me to do some baking again (although her skills were not passed down to me in the gene pool).

Happy Halloween !! but seriously..... This message has been edited by maikeru on 2010-10-28 07:02:44...
Will have to find something to wear for the Fifty Fathoms Party, tomorrow night...
Let me think about it ... Aaah, maybe this one? HAGWE, All. Nicolas...
That TR is just so beautiful..have a nice one tomowwow
I know there will be a bunch of great watches (and collectors) there...wush Best my friend Hans
Sometimes I wonder ...
How many watches you have. I gave up counting when I reached 00s. My guess you probably have 50 Fifty Fathoms and at least enough alarm watches to sound every hour of the day. (not including repeaters) Truly a situation for others to admire or jealous abo...
Well, Tyler ...
You're right, I have too many watches, even if is not as important as you think. For example, I own 5 FFs not 50, and among those 5, one will go for another home. If you want to know more about the Torne Rayville shown as my watch of the day, do a search ...
Wait you can't jump the gun!
I am on the process to persuade Nicolas to let loose some of the "insignificant" piece of his collection and maybe some of them find a new home on the "east side". LOL I am going to use the reason that sitting long and lonely in the safe will give the wat...
Well, let me think about it.
That is a new perspective and approach, for me. Best, my 2 not that crazy friends. Nicolas
Masterful wristshot Nicolas...
this TR is one a favorite vintage watches out there, such a great looking watch with a supremely cool vibe. Drew
Very strong!...
For sure, you can't go wrong with this one! i am sure you will heva a memorable moment! Enjoy fully...Matt
We'll have a memorable event, for sure, Matt.
Thanks for the nice words, my friend. See you soon? Best, Nicolas
You'll be the star of the party with that one, Nicolas
Wow, that looks like brand new. Enjoy the party! respo
my favourite fifty fathoms Nicolas for obvious reasons :)
i doubt i'll ever get a chance to own one, but perhaps the next time we meet i may get a chance to wear it. have a good dinner and even more drink to honour a superb range of dive watches. best Graham
Mmm, me like! :)
Love your FF collection, Nicolas! Hope you will have e great evening, my friend! Best Blomman
Well, Blomman...
I'm so excited to see OUR Collection during this exhibition. That's the beauty of this event, as we are ALL involved. Best, my friend. Nicolas.
That is really exciting!
To be a part of it all! Would have loved to join! Best, my friend Blomman
Thanks, Daos.
It is the first time in my life that I saw so many watches similar to the TR 900 I had on the wrist, yesterday night! An amry of Vlads, let me tell you! Best, Nicolas
A great classic!
and very versatile and useful. Huge congratulations (it's a new catch right?) God weekend! Nikolaj
No old "lady"
... I actually bought the RO in 1998...as a present to my 30 birthday and only my second "expensive" watch after a Rolex 1675 But I still enjoy the AP RO to a high degree. I went to a GTG in Denmark some time ago and might actually look for a ROO soon. Be...
Thank you very much for the compliment..!!
But I think we all know who the real Vlad Dracula here is! :: )) Best, my friend Blomman...
Blomman, that has to be the most stunning of all the memovoxes
the way the gong is attached to a display back so you can see everything working is sheer perfection. this is the one i'd go for if i possibly could. just lovely Graham
Graham…
Thank you very much! Yes, it’s really an special Memovox! I really wish MJLC would make a follower to this one… Best Blomman
very nice and smart pic...
... the orange color hour markers look very nice to me. great shots, Blomman. stefan
The light and reflection…
Makes the indexes look that way – they are actually silver. Thank you, Stefan! Maybe one for you to add in your Memo collection..? Best Blomman
why not...
interesting, light and reflection can make thing look differently. ... yes, for sure, one day i would like to have a master Memovox on black dial. stefan
Ah, that mythical Memovox
That rare rear view is just fantastic. That watch has a lot of admirers here, Blomman. I love the "naked" shot. Perfect! HAGWE, respo
A very special memo rear…
Indeed rare rear! The only one so far, hope MJLC will make another one soon! Thank you, Respo! Any new toy to replace the Diving Pro yet? Best Blomman
Mr. Blowman, your photos and watch are stunning.
May I ask when was this Memovox made?
This watch was sold in 2002.
It found its way to my door a couple of years ago… I am not sure when it was born but I do know it was not in the JLC Manufacture’s Book of Timepieces 1995/1996 edition (I miss 1997-1999) and the last time it was in the Book was the 2000/2001 edition. Tha...
Excellent! That's what I call . . .
. . . a great watch - minimalist aesthetics combined with sensible mechanics and a focused complication. Very tasty, Blomman . . . congratulations if it's new, and thanks for retrieving it from your safe if it's not ;-) . . . best regards, Art.
Something in between…
Thank you, Art! I totally agree with you! Well, it’s not a new piece… But also not one in my regular rotation… So, it’s a “semi-safe” watch! Best Blomman
Black, blue, white, silver…
I love them all! But if I had to choose, I would go for black! Thank you, Rafal! Best Blomman
The LLD ...
... is a very photogenic watch ... if you have the patience ... . HAGWE Filip
That is a sublime photo.
I love this photo of yours. Exposed but not naked. Seductive yet not teasing. Rigid and soft. A lots of contrasting element in play. May I know more about of the watch in the photo? Tyler (Your new admirer)
Seeing as you asked so eloquently ...
Hello Tyler, thanks for the nice comments and pleased you liked the photo. The watch is a Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph that I am 'road testing' on your behalf over the next month. At 43mm, it is a somewhat larger dress chronograph than I am used to, b...
Oh, Andrew. You are so romantic! Sigh...
Roses with rose gold? LOL! TimeWalker taking a stroll in the garden, eh? Another fantastic shot from you this week. I love it. I will be curious to hear your thoughts about the Montblanc. None of this particular series have captivated me thus far. Maybe y...
next week, we should have...
... watch movement cufflinks scan... by the way, very nice pair of cufflinks you have, Andrew. stefan
More cufflinks ...
Hi Stefan, I know you appreciate watch movement cufflinks. Perhaps it is time for another thread on HoMe? Perhaps combined with watches this time? But just for you, here is another shot of the Omega Cal. 484 cufflink from 1964 ......
ha ha... Andrew, you know me well...
i think you remember i posted this before... but in my collection, i do not have omega which i felt a bit of upset and incomplete! stefan...
24 other pairs is not a bad consolation prize!
I remember this collection well, Stefan. Will you look for an Omega pair? We really should do that 'cuff thread' on HoMe one day. Andrew
yes,.. may be...
... i had stopped my movement cufflinks collection for quite some time now. may be good to restart to do so after seeing your very nice Omega movement cufflinks. by the way, i saw this one Omega watch (Calibre 440) cufflinks in solid gold casing at one on...
Yes, very impressive ...
It would be great to see some of the companies revisiting cufflinks with their small movements. A small market I guess. Hope you find them again one day. Thanks for sharing them here. Andrew
Just a little teaser ...
Actually at 43mm it is the largest watch I have worn, but i very quikly adjusted. it sits comfortably on the wrist due to the short sloping lugs. Andrew
That is a perfect photo, Andrew
I need you to be my fashion consultant, please. Thanks for your message. I am going shopping soon. HAGWE, respo
Actually you need my wife ...
... she is really the one with the good taste and fashion sense. I can't tell you the number of times I have asked her if this tie or that shirt looks OK. LOL But she doesn't do the same with my watches - she seems to leave that up to me. Hope you find so...
While the cufflinks are arresting ...
... the watch is hard to miss at 43x14.5mm. More photos to follow that may help you! Andrew
Very cool, Anderw! :)
And very classy! Custom made or is it possible to find? Would love to have a pair. Best Blomman
A pair of JLC would be right up your alley
Yes they are possible to find. I have sent some information. Andrew
Indeed, a pair of JLC’s…
Would really bright up my day! Thanks for the info, Andrew! Best Blomman
...60 seconds more...
Following on from my video last week, "30 seconds in Sydney" ...with my Patek, I thought I'd give my Longines Legend Diver a go... Here's the direct link if the above video won't open properly.... www.youtube.com PP7Kg HAGWE. Regards, Richard. This messag...
Beautiful, Richard! :)
Like I said to Filip, the LLD is very photogenic! Love the video – made me long for the ocean! Best Blomman
Thanks Blomman...
And when you go to the sea, please take photos of your Polaris which you will no doubt be wearing. Regards, Richard.
Richard, I promise …
To bring the Polaris – at sea is where she belongs! Best Blomman
I know this beauty well!
Great post, Richard! I do love the LLD! It's a fantastic watch to run around town with! Plus, it's just damn attractive! HAGWE down under! Cheers, Daos
