Watching this live version of Harmonia brings back a lot of memories from the early 2000s of listening to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSuga9GYMoM

Having a Spring Drive one and a Quartz one in my collection already, it is only natural that my 3rd would be a Hi-beats automatic. When I saw the radial snowy dial, the 44GS case and the blue GMT hand, I knew that the SBGJ201 aka “Mt Iwate” was the one. It’s not the first watch that can handle timezones in my collection but definitely the first regular GMT.

My 3rd is secured. I had been looking for one for weeks and stumbled upon an opportunity to get one that meets literally everything I wanted. l will post about it later but if you know that I already own a Spring Drive one and a Quartz one, you can guess where this is going 😉

With how sunny it is right now, it is not too hard to get a lum shot of my Seiko SNK809. Field watches are so easy to read 👌

Catching up on a few albums I should have purchased a few months ago 😅

I've recently gotten into and at the same time. They do tend to be related, but I never expected interest in one to create interest in another.

All that to say, all the cool gears in mechanical watches are awesome. But, I also got a Casio G-SHOCK that syncs with the radio broadcast of the atomic clock every night. Its really fascinating technology, at least to me!

@johnpeden Seiko and Citizen also make those kind of watches in their solar/eco-drive lineups with the “radio-controlled” moniker.

I went out to look at watches, and I saw some beautiful Tissot PRXs. They are pretty but far from perfect. Especially the quartz ones seem hit and miss (miss really) when it comes to hitting the markers.

Then I saw some Citizen Tsuyosas in various colours, which are also very beautiful! I was impressed.

Then I saw the Grand Seiko range next to Rolex and Omega and GOOD GOD! How can humans manufacture something as perfect as a Grand Seiko. 🤯

@gpowerf Grand Seiko has an incredible history and makes unique watches on par with the greatest no doubt about it: opinionated japanese design that strongly contrasts with what the Swiss brands offer, top-notch finition and a few tricks literally no one else can do. It’s also very easy to be lost in their giant lineup of collections and models 😅

@gpowerf I just added a 3rd one to my collection 😁 https://mastodon.online/@ppn/112492266453488650
