Pens and Watches
Fountain pens and mechanical watches are considered, by many, to be "historical relics" but as we know, they are the best. Nothing nicer than looking at your non-dominant hand to see the second hand sweeping and then looking at your dominant hand to see it, with pen between thumb and fingers, flowing across the paper. I thought I would share a few photos of both.
Photo #1 Every Sailor should wear a good dive watch. Featured is a Sailor Promenade with a Davosa dive watch (Swiss made automatic)
Photo #2 A homage meets a homage. Featured is a Jinhao 992 (homage to a Sailor) and a BSH automatic custom built (homage to the Rolex 5517 Milsub).
Photo #3 If you plan to fly over the green mountains it would be good to wear a flieger. Featured is a Monteverde ("mountain green") Prima and a Tisell automatic flieger.
Photo #4 If you want to go fast out of the gate and across the paper one should be able to time it. Featured is a Sheaffer Prelude and a Hoffman "reverse panda" chronograph with a Seiko VK63 mecaquartz movement. The chronograph portion of the watch is mechanical.
