I don’t think I’ve really shared it here, but a few years ago I was a pretty avid watch modder. Specifically with automatic movements. I just really like the idea of all those tiny gears and springs working in harmony to keep time. It’s an aesthetic thing I guess.
This homage here is based on the Panerai Luminor line of watches. It uses a fairly inexpensive (but beautiful imho) Chinese movement that keeps really good time. I bought the case, dial, hands, bracelet, and movement separately and put them together.
I don’t hate smartwatches, it’s just that I already have a computer in my pocket, I don’t need one on my wrist.
