“Basel”

“Yes, that, … the biggest watch exhibition and you say that you slept ate and drank watches non-stop for five days… and when you got back you were so overwhelmed with writing about it that you didn’t bother… in fact you pretty much stopped writing regularly and the post still hangs in your head haunting you…”

“Yeah”

“Did I get it all?”

“Yea”

“And you want me to help you..?”

“Get over the guilt and move on.”

“Well, you could finish it.”

“Right.”

(silence)

And then a few hundred dollars short, I finally sat up on my computer, cracked my knuckles and hammered away at my keyboard.

Nooka’s Matthew Waldman was nice enough to send in a model of his watch. While we hope this becomes the norm around here, what I didn’t expect, was to fall in love with it.

I’ve never been very big on Digital before, but you will currently find the Nooka adorning my left wrist, while the right sports my beloved Lange.

I know its strange to wear two watches, but eccentric editors of obsessive wrist watch websites do need to stand out while rigourously testing them for future writeups.

Also, Mister/Miss Reader, We’re toying with the idea of having a small online store to support our website and I wanted to put the idea out there so you could give us your two cents.

If we do, we’ll probably have a limited quantity of a few models that we adore instead of a store with a gigantic inventory.

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.

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.

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 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.
