A Deep Dive on a Thin Watch(hodinkee.com) |
Personally I love mechanical things, and collect both steam-engines and watches. Half of my collection of the latter are cheap Soviet pieces, often older than I am, and the rest are high-end Swiss watches that I buy as/when I can find them at reasonable prices.
bronzeberger - 5 days ago - Sometimes a machine can give you a glimpse of the future. This is the watch a Tessier-Ashpool will wear in a William Gibson novel. …
JackForster - 4 days ago - +1 for the Tessier-Ashpool shoutout, if only our plutocrats were that interesting.
Spinakerr - 4 days ago - Maybe if we give them a few generations, like the T-As, to go truly barmy, the comparison would be closer.
