De Grisogono Skull with time-telling eyes

Photo Caption Competition No. 12: Alas, Poor Yorick . . .

March 26, 2016/1 Comment/in Highlights, Photo Captions, de Grisogono/by Ian Skellern

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?

Photo Caption Competition No. 11: Pick The Robot

March 12, 2016/3 Comments/in Highlights, Photo Captions/by Ian Skellern

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?

Photo Caption Competition No. 10 Featuring Two “Hard” Men Rugged Up For Cold Weather

March 5, 2016/0 Comments/in Highlights, Photo Captions/by Ian Skellern

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.

Photo Caption Competition No. 9 Featuring A Grönefeld One Hertz, Snow, And Dogs

February 27, 2016/2 Comments/in Highlights, Photo Captions, Grönefeld/by Ian Skellern

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?

Photo Caption Competition No. 5 Starring A De Bethune (Or Two)

January 29, 2016/10 Comments/in Highlights, Photo Captions, De Bethune/by Ian Skellern

Today we have a horologically themed caption competition that involves one of my favorite brands: De Bethune.

The photo below was shot at SIHH 2016, and I have to thank regular contributors Simon Cudd and Joshua Munchow for posing as wrist models. I will not reveal who is wearing which watch, but regular readers are likely to be able to make a fairly educated guess. Leave your caption ideas in the comments!
