You know what I want? I want a nice mechanical watch. Not quartz, no electricity, just gears and clockwork. Nothing super fancy, I don't need multiple dials for months and days and dates and phases of the moon or whatever, just three hands. Hell, I'd settle for two; minutes and hours. I want something with heft, something that ticks. Mechanical watches tend to lose time, a few seconds to a few minutes pet month, and you have to wind them every couple of days so they don't stop, but that's part of the appeal. It's about the engineering, not the convenience. Nobody "needs" a watch anymore, not when they have smartphones which are synchronized to atomic clocks, but I still want one. I'd never drop multiple grand for a Rolex, but a few hundred dollars for a low end Seiko, that's something I could afford. I'll save up for one, make it a Christmas present to myself.

I got a sincere compliment on this outfit by an older French man at the bar wearing a windowpane suit so maybe I just dress like this now.

CONSIDERATIONS OF A BLACK WATCH PT 1

Navigating the details on modern black watch materials, coatings and finishes can be a confusing undertaking. Ambiguous science with misleading figures all contribute to the marketing nonsense that spews from our beloved and often hyperbolic industry. Many manufacturers will offer black variants in their collections because black is cool and has been since the 14th century! As many of you know black is my go-to and has been since 2012 (after giving up the madness that is premium denim so thick you can't bend your knees!). This was also the time Schofield was thinking about the Blacklamp, which was named for many reasons one of which is a play on lamp black, a black pigment made by collecting the fine soot from the inside of an incandescent lamp. Black means a surface that absorbs visible light and does not reflect it. Ultimately it will have an albedo of 0 (fully reflecting surfaces have an albedo of 1). In 2008 researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute created the blackest material ever - reflecting just 0.1% of light from carbon nanotubes stood on end. By comparison black paint reflects 5-10%. Since that time the same team have improved the coating to reflect only 0.03%. Vantablack developed by Surrey Nanosystems is at 0.045%. Both outfits argue theirs is the blackest. As black dials go, using Vantablack is certainly cool if you are H. Moser & Cie. Schofield spoke to Vantablack before they had made a watch dial but I felt that as soon as you cover it with a sapphire crystal, that reflects light regardless of the coatings, then it's all rather pointless. Black watches are a recent development because there were no readily available black materials or coatings until the mid 1970s other than oxidising, anodising, powder coating or painting and most of these don’t sit comfortably beside platinum, gold or stainless steel in a chart of premium materials. When designing watches we are limited to the materials used because of machining, safety and cost constraints. So when I say black, I also mean dark grey and sometimes with hues of brown, blue or green. I also look at all the material surface characteristics - colour, texture, slickness, temperature and sheen, finding ways to exploit these attributes favourably. These subtleties bring differentiation and make our ‘black’ watches interesting.

Mechanical Watches: Six Months In

From left to right, and in order of acquisition: Timex Waterbury Automatic, Timex Weekender Quartz, Seiko 5 Automatic Back on my birthday in August, Emee gifted me with the nicest watch I have ever owned, a Timex Waterbury. After a lifetime of less expensive quartz watches, many of them from Timex, having a nice mechanical watch was a paradigm change. Here’s a watch that has a big spring instead…
