Hello. Great pictures of the meistersinger Granmatik. I am considering buying one of these for my daily wearing watch. I have nearly 8 inch wrists. Do you rhink it would look silly big on me?
Thank you,

Hi Andrew. If it was 47-48mm I’d say just go for it and pull the trigger but at this size, I’d really suggest that you try it on or a watch as close to its size as possible. It’s huge, and to get one without trying could be risky!

Hi, can you shed any light on on LONGIO VOLCAN TOUBILLON watches …are they worth collecting/buying ?…….Keep up the good work

Hi Marten,
Thanks so much for reading Horologium.
Unfortunately I don’t know anything about Longio other than they are a Hong Kong based watch brand using Chinese tourbillons. If you are looking for a Chinese tourbillon then you might also want to take a look at Sea-Gull, who are very well established with a solid reputation.

Hi, enjoyed your site, didn’t realise we got a local site in Sydney, been following Hodinkee for ages but you’re on my new favourites. My latest addition is a Frederique Constant limited addition Worldtimer runs on a FC-718, which I think its quite an ingenious development given the price tag, would like to get your thoughts on it.

Vince – welcome, and thanks for the kind comments. It’s nice to find out about local readers 🙂 Congratulations on your new Worldtimer. I think FC have some great bang-for-buck watches, and my current favourite is the Slimline Moonphase with the blue dial (https://horologium.com.au/2013/04/27/baselworld-2013-affordable-luxury-from-frederique-constant/), very elegant ‘in the metal’.

Hi I was recommended to you by a friend Firmin Li not sure if you know him but, I am very interested in the D.Dornblüth & Sohn brand and wondered if you had any contacts that would be able to help me to choose one. I am looking to have some very mild customisation done but, not sure exactly what is available and how to go about organising this.
I’m very sorry if you are not sure what I’m going on about but I think that you are the person that I was recommend to.
Thank you very much for your time and your great blog.
Kindest Regards,
Jonathan W.

This is a great website to discuss the availability at the local scene. Just curious, are there any local gatherings or groups for enthusiasts to meet and discuss their passions?

@jc – Hi. Where are you based? There are many groups of watch enthusiasts in Australia who socialise and discuss watches.

Hi, I’m based in Newcastle near Sydney. Curious given the number of good shops around, there should be plenty of enthusiasts…

@jc – there are some in Newcastle I think. People mostly making first contact via online forums and social media.

Your Instagram pages says you use a Nexus 4/5. Surely, you are not using a mobile phone camera for all those lovely photos ?
Especially like the British library clock tower photo.
