firstly, congratulations on HOROLOGIUM. it’s going to take some getting used to saying / spelling, rather than the usual AP or Syd Tarts that has been imprinted in my mind. am sure you’ll excel under this and continue to deliver the usual awesomeness that comes from your ‘typewriter’.

Thank you for your kind words Kewpie, and support for my new venture. If you forget the name, it’s ‘clock’ in Latin, and I’ll always be’AP’ 🙂

Sensational to have a local presence with your insightful blog. I particularly enjoyed the article on the Fifty Fathoms & it truly is a classic !
I have been a keen trader in the vintage watches for 30 years or so & love the resources we have at our fingertips with the net.
Love your work.

Wow. What a fascinating discovery! Just found you through a google search for an obscure watch movement. Still bingeing on your site, but already a great mix of tasteful objectivity, technical expertise and historical knowledge. Thank you.
