Hah. This was pre-Insomniac and pre Billy Joe's "I'm a serious artist" phase. They're far off their punk roots now.

Christ! That's fourteen years ago.

I bought this a while ago, it's a bit too 'bling' for me. The bracelet is integral in that it cannot be replaced or adjusted as far as I can tell. I liked it because it's very thin but I've no real information on this brand. Can anyone enlighten me please?

That is very, very cool. I wonder if it's still working.

Yes, nice little bit of German over-engineering, that; I'm told that a power reserve would be a useful feature on a ship's clock. It would let you know if the last watch wound it up.

I'd love to shoot me some Nazis just to steal their watches. Kind of like the father/banker returning from WWII with a Japanese Katana from Best Years of our Lives (1946)

Why are you confused? My comments or the word "bazaar" used as an adjective?

Those reserve indicators can also be seen on 19th century English watches with "up-down" indicators.
