As Close as it Gets

I decided to see just how tight of a macro shot I could get with my Canon EF 100mm Macro f/2.8L IS USM and Kenco Kenko Auto Extension Tube Set.

Image 1 is a 100% crop of image 2. Image 3, is just for the glow of it.

The watch is the Vostok-Europe / Vostok-Europe Timepieces VET for R2AWatches LUNOKHOD-2 YM86-620A506 and you can find it HERE - https://www.vostok-europe.com/ym86-620a506/

The Detail Behind the Scenes

If you are looking for an analog watch that does far more than your standard 3 hand day/date watch, then Vostok-Europe / Vostok-Europe & R2AWatches.com has a (not so little) option for you - enter the LUNOKHOD-2 YM86-620A506. Yeah, that model number is a bit overkill, but put that aside and what this thing does is quite impressive. Take a look ...

• A 49mm stainless steel case
• An automatic helium release valve
• Water-resistant up to 300 meters
• Mineral K1 crystal
• Easily viewed 3-hand movement
• day, Date, Month. Leap-Year Perpetual calendar
• 24-hour chronograph
• Mono-directional rotating Bezel
• Swiss-made tritium tubes with a dash of standard lume

On a side note: it took almost 40 minutes to completely set this watch's many functions. As we said 'Cool is complicated'.

The mesmerizing movement of the upcoming Egard Phase One Skeletonized Tourbillon

01/28/2021

The Égard Watch Company Phase 1 Tourbillon - Motion in Motion

You may be asking 'So Mr. WatchTographer, what exactly IS a tourbillon?' Per Wiki ...

'In horology, a tourbillon ('whirlwind') is an addition to the mechanics of a watch escapement to [theoretically] increase accuracy. In a tourbillon, the escapement and balance wheel are mounted in a rotating cage, in order to negate the effects of gravity when the timepiece ... is stuck in a certain position. By continuously rotating the entire balance wheel/escapement assembly ... the tourbillon averages out positional errors. Originally an attempt to improve accuracy, tourbillons are still included in some expensive modern watches as a novelty and a demonstration of watchmaking virtuosity.'

This watch, the Phase 1, is another feather in Egards' cap of 'out of the box' designs and styling. Look for it to arriving soon on Kickstarter and then www.egardwatches.com

Time in the Shade

Introducing the Shade V2 from Égard Watch Company; a stylish and sophisticated piece with just enough texture and detail to keep it interesting but not so much as to make it gaudy.
