As is customary by now, Sensory Impact is down yet again this week due to lack of bandwidth, and the hosting service just doesn’t have the system in place to respond to it.

UPDATE: This is very infuriating. I’ve been sending a ton of emails every day to our hosting service, and haven’t heard a word from them. Looks like the site might be down for a whole week.

UPDATE: The site is back up, but only because its a new month. :(

If you’re mildly interested in watches, you might have heard about Basel, the premier show for watches, well, this is the other big one - The Hong Kong Watch & Clock Exhibition with up to 800 exhibitors from 15 countries or regions and we’ll be there to cover it blow by blow.

Its going to be from September 1st to the 5th so stay tuned for daily reports.

I’ve changed the permalinks on the site. So instead of every page ending in .html, it won’t need one. I had initially done it to help with the transition from our old blogger setup, however, because of it the archives were inaccessible.

So, please update your links if you were previously linking to a particular post.

We just got picked by UK’s The Guardian as their blog of the week.

Jane Perrone of the Guardian writes - “This is a first for me: a blog about watches. As a fan of horology (current watch: 1960s Tressa automatic bought on eBay) this blog could keep me entertained for hours. My only request? More on vintage timepieces, please.”

Well Jane, We don’t intend to disappoint so watch this space.

Other than that, we have some topics we’ll be writing about in the future and if you think you have something to say, do email us:

1. The Future of Watches - We’re going to go over trends, predictions and current Industry attitudes towards change.

2. Have you ever had a question you wished you could ask a manufacturer or designer of a watch? Well then, email us and we’ll maintain a list that we’ll refer to whenever we get hold of one.

So drop us a line at wrist@wristfashion.com.

While i’m not going to pretend that i’m the best authority on watches, I still do consider myself some what, considering that i do work in the Luxury wristwatch industry.

While this site serves as a way for me to keep track of trends in the watch industry, it doubles as a destination for fellow Watch Aficionados and i hope you all find this site interesting.

The proliferation of weblogs has created an acceptance for bite sized content, which is why i don’t think its a stretch if i called this a magazine.

Contributions are welcome. You can email me regarding them.

Or you can always engage us in a conversation by dropping a comment.
