Meet 38-year-old Dilip Sivaraman from India, who entered the 2016 Young Talent Competition sponsored by the AHCI, F.P. Journe, and Horotec, where he was a finalist. Sivaraman had started out wanting to fix an antique clock he had bought, but ended up making his own clock, called Gato, escapement and all.
For this week’s Caption Competition we have what looks like a lizard speared on a sundial. What do you think he might be doing?
Do put your fun, funny, or sarcastic caption ideas in the comments!
This week’s photo was taken at the MB&F M.A.D.Gallery in Geneva during the launch of LM Perpetual in 2015. And yes, I was struck by the incongruity of the image and location. What fun, funny, or sarcastic caption can you suggest for this image?
In 2009, Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey were considering a number of options for what had become a quest to safeguard traditional watchmaking knowledge and experience. One was to help somebody working internally at Greubel Forsey to create a watch from scratch. Senior movement designer Didier Cretin was given responsibility for the project and developed the traditional Greubel Forsey timepiece that became Signature 1.
This week’s photo was taken at the annual Baselworld Schnitzel dinner organized by Frank Geelen of Monochrome. What fun, funny, or sarcastic caption would you give this photo?
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.
