This week’s photo was taken during Baselworld 2016 and features a fairly blingy skull with (in my mind a least) a bit of attitude. What fun, funny, or sarcastic caption can you suggest for this image?
This week’s photo was taken at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show and appears to indicate that mankind has already lost the intelligence race with robots . . . and this one even looks to have more emotional intelligence than “his” neighbor as well. What fun, funny, or sarcastic caption would you give this?
Fabergé: it is one of the world’s most well known and well-respected brand names, but until recently few would have associated Fabergé with fine watchmaking. But that all changed last year and now Fabergé is following up its success with more interesting watches this year, including a new GMT model called the Visionnaire DTZ (Dual Time Zone), which is set to be presented at Baselworld 2016. But this article isn’t about the Visionnaire DTZ; it’s about its movement. I think you will like it.
Thanks for the entries in last week’s caption competition and congratulations to Martin Moore for his winning caption linking smartwatches and dogs. You can check that out at Photo Caption Competition No. 9.
This week’s caption competition looks relatively easy (I know, that’s easy for me say): statues of two men rugged up for the cold. One has a what looks like a briefcase so they may be commuters.
Or maybe not. That’s for you to decide.
My wife and I serendipitously chanced upon “seeing” the aurora borealis while visiting Jackson Hole, Wyoming last year, and the excitement of that led to months of research. And that research led more recently to spending a few days in the Arctic Circle in the north of Sweden. Here is what I’ve learned about the northern lights so far, some of it firsthand.
This week’s caption competition is a hard one as it has quite a disparate mix of subjects including a Grönefeld One Hertz, lots of snow (it was shot in the Arctic Circle), and a few dogs for good measure. What appropriate, funny, or sarcastic comment can you think up as a caption or for the optional speech bubble?
This week we have something a little different.
This is a photo of a prototype movement of a watch that was launched in the second half of 2015.
What do you think the name of this watch is?
Firstly, thanks to those that submitted entries to last week’s caption competition and to Martin for his winning entry, “First wife to say ok gets to buy it!” This week’s photo features Philippe Dufour at the Naissance d’une Montre stand at SIHH 2016 along with an exuberant fan.

Post-SIHH reports indicate that the inclusion of the so-called indies was a big success for both visitors and the small brands alike, but also that there was a little grumbling from some of the large established SIHH brands generated by the fact that visitors to the fair remarked − with justification − that there were more interesting watches in the Carré des Horlogers than in the rest of the SIHH altogether. What can the industry learn from their inclusion in 2016’s first fair?
This week’s Photo Caption Competition was shot at a watch launch in late 2015.
Bonus kudos to anyone who can guess where this photo was taken and what watch was being launched.
Give us your suggestions for an interesting or entertaining caption!
