Let's see your watch and fountain pen photos

This has to be the longest thread I've ever seen, on any forum, anywhere.

Absolutely stunning photos of great watches and pens; kept clicking and thinking I'd never get to the end.

I could look at these shots all day!

There are fewer things more beautiful in the world of mechanics than the movements of pocket watches. A beautiful example, Lak611. I'm too lazy to look up the serial-number charts - how old is that Ball?

Nice Ball! Here's one of mine.

 

Thanks for the compliment.

Nice Ball pocket watch too!

I love old pocket watches and that Ball lever-set you have is sweeeeeeet!

:thumbup:

 

Here's another shot of my Ball Moon Phase watch, taken with a Levenger Plumpster sitting on the custom VS strap

The stationery they're on I'd made and printed out myself...

“I view my fountain pens & inks as an artist might view their brushes and paints.

They flow across paper as a brush to canvas, transforming my thoughts into words and my words into art.

There is nothing else like it; the art of writing and the painting of words!”

It is 105 years old. From 1904, first run of grade 333; only produced for 2 years. 1436 of 4000 in grade.

I wish I could take pictures like some of the people on here. These are my first two attempts.

I like your Barlow, Peter. Years ago I had one quite similar, but not as pretty as the ivory/cream color of yours.

The whistle is a replica metropolitan police whistle.

 

The pen is a 1920s Wahl-Eversharp art deco lever-filler. Gold-filled barrel & cap.

 

The watch is a Waltham M1908 made in 1926.

Beautiful items, especially the watch is stunning.

I got half way through the thread and got inspired ... so two "quick and dirty" photos of my polar opposites.

 

My Rolex no date Submariner with the Pelikan 805 ...

That is one of my favourite watches - the ceramic bezel works so well with the raw ebonite finish of the Dani

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o
    • adamselene
      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
