That is to say, no one likes all of everyone else's watches, but everyone finds all the watches interesting? ![]() |

Great Omega Collection you have there Alan..i especially like the memomatic.. one of the very few wrist alarms where you can set the excat time, and also not in many of these type of alarm watches is the alarm function wound automaticaaly by the automatic mechnaism.. most you have to manually wind the alarm mechanism for it to power up!

Non-Schild movements that interested me were the JLC alarm (also used by IWC), the Seiko alarm, the Fortis, the Memomatic, and the Cricket. The Seiko and the Omega were fairly easy to acquire. Both were inexpensive and offered a variety of case styles and dial colors. The Cricket was torture to wind, although it had the loudest alarm. The JLC looked too dressy, although it had the nicest sounding alarm. When they put the movement into their "Master Compressor," the dial and hands didn't appeal. I didn't care for the Fortis until they put it into a 42 mm case. More recently, GP and a joint development by Breguet and Blancpain have offered two new alarm movements. Both movements are nifty, but for me, the standout is the Breguet. But the 22k+ price is way out of my reach. So I'm happy with the Seiko, the Omega, and the Fortis. |

I tried to pick a watch that wouldn't get much appreciation.
How's this? It's a Swatch Paparazzi, one of Microsoft's SPOT watches. ![]() |
