I have been shooting some new pictures lately, and with a reason (2 more attached).

What I announced here 3 years ago is finally going to happen, and I am proud to say that my watches and the history behind, will be published by The British Horological Institute, in the august edition of their Horological Journal. FYI the BHJ. It is the world's oldest technical bulletin in continuous publication - they recently commemorated 150 years.

I have also created a new website that future wise will be the world’s best reference for Vintage Navitimer & Cosmonaute watches, and I am planning to upload the BHJ publication here as well.
