This new case size of the 44GS line keeps all the sharp design elements present in the Grammar of Design introduced by designer Taro Tanaka, when the collection was launched in 1967, but will better suit smaller wrists or if you like a smaller watch. Tough the pronounced lugs do make it have more of a presence. The dial is inspired by “sakura-kakushi, a time in spring when snow and cherry blossoms coexist. It features a delicately textured surface with a pink hue. The hand wound 9S64 caliber has 72h of power reserve and an accuracy of +5 to -3 seconds per day.  GS Cherry Blossom by @thewatchboxdiaries  NEW GA-B2100 now upgraded with Bluetooth connectivity, tough solar, and carbon quad guard.       Get your bespoke straps @thestraptailor – https://thestraptailor.com/  Foosball Rapid Fire Questions with Francois-Henry and Max Büsser | Icon Vs Icon Episode 1  Mido Ocean Star Decompression Timer   We spend time with Jonny from William Wood Watches and Calum from Saltire Motorcyles and find out about a motorcycle they have worked on in aid of The Fire Fighters Charity.

Rikki

Got into the horological hobby only a few short years ago; but got, as us Scots like to say, “baw deep” pretty quickly. Thanks to buying a lemon of a Rolex he spent hours researching why his watch wasn’t working and along the way gained an interest in what makes them tick. He now runs the Scottish Watches website and keeps cohort Rick in check on the twice weekly Scottish Watches podcast.
