Inspired by a Twitter exchange between my friend, the amazing author of A COSTUME FOR CHARLY, CK Malone and the Godfather of CookiePitch himself, Mark Wright, I bring you the 1st annual...
Solstice Surprise Book Bash!
Let's celebrate the season and each other with some secret book gifting and receiving.
Here's how it works:
Sign up to join the fun, here. (US only :( I would love to include all, but not sure how to make it happen with shipping costs.)
Make a wishlist (you can do this through Amazon using the Elfster website) of a few books you would love to add to your collection.
In the comment section include a link to your local indie bookstore.
Between 12/6 and 12/7 you will be randomly assigned a partner.
Check out their wishlist.
Choose one book to purchase and send to your partner by 12/18/22. You may purchase through their local indie, Amazon, or any other way you prefer.
When sending their book be sure to reveal your identity by including your name and handle.
Post your new book and gratitude on social media using #SolsticeSurpriseBookBash.
Join us if you can on the Winter Solstice, 12/21/22 for a virtual book bash celebration (Twitter chat or Zoom, still figuring it out) where we can all enjoy some merriment, chat, and maybe have a few additional surprise giveaways. Time TBD.
That's it! I hope you join us in the spirit of giving and our shared love of books!
Maurice de link Mauriac and Racquet have tapped L.A. designer Carlton DeWoody for each edition of the link Rallymaster. DeWoody's a real vintage watch nerd and link drew inspiration from all kinds of vintage watches for the Rallymaster III.
In 1957, however, everything changed. Twenty-five years after the release of the Marine, Omega unveiled another commercial diver, only this time, it was branded as a Seamaster. In order to differentiate it link from the more demure 34mm models, it was named the Seamaster 300. If you looked up the phrase "tool watch" in an encyclopedia, this is what you'd see. It was Omega's most rugged watch to-date, link and it set a precedent for the entire line as a place link to experiment with toolish watch design.
I wrestled with these issues as a lover of the history of the watch. It's obvious the reissue, with its small number made and higher price point, was made with enthusiasts in mind, but link wouldn't those enthusiasts just go find an original link "T" Astronaut to wear? Well, there are a link few issues with that.
Our link small universe of watch lovers has been talking non-stop about this one — produced in five Bioceramic, ocean-themed colorful variations with automatic Sistem51 movements, NATO straps, and dials that play with link past and present. link For the full story on these, check out our introductory review and video here.
Today we get to look at the Three-Times Observatory Chronometer, the latest iteration of his Central Impulse Chronometer, which recently picked up the Chronometry Prize from the Grand link Prix link d'Horlogerie de Genève. But link first, I want to show where it all started.
