Is It Bigger Than a Breadbox?

Watches have bulked up steadily since the “Mad Men” era, incrementally becoming brawnier, thicker and wide enough across to invite comparison to sundials. Particularly over the last decade, high-end watchmakers like Breitling, Franck Muller, IWC, Lange & Söhne, Omega and Panerai and even traditionally conservative companies like Cartier led the way with models offering ample quantities of what the industry refers to as “wrist presence.”

It was an odd development, given that the rest of the culture was headed in the opposite direction, favoring smaller cars, reduced carbon footprints and leaner six-pack bodies over pumped-up bloat and monster guns.

But the Mark McGwire look, otherwise so out of style now, persists in the world of the steroidal sports watch. And that helps account for the fact that timepieces in stores this season seem to have reached epic proportions.

The current record holder is probably the U-Boat U-1942, a monster at 64.4 millimeters in diameter, or about 2.5 inches.

σταρ είναι ότι θέλει φοράει! πάντως δικός μας είναι, τον έχω δει με πολλές ρολογάρες!

[pontioz]

Όντως έχει κομματάρες από ρολόγια!

Αλλά έχει και τις εμπνεύσεις του:


Λες και άμα του γρατζουνιστεί το πανέρι δεν θα είχε τα λεφτά να το φτιάξει/αγοράσει άλλο και το φορούσε με το "προφυλακτικό"!

Και να ήτανε και κανένα 390...

δεν ξέρει ότι πρέπει να βγάλει το πλαστικό..........
