Your posts and insights were and are a tremendous help in better understanding horology, especially in better understanding Seiko for which I am ever grateful. I've known you from our virtual world for over 12 years, if you remember from our pen collectin...

It’s not difficult to find passionate amateur but very scarce to find ardent and well educated journalist in this field. The reason is very simple: It needs diligence, budget and manner. Fortunately you have all. This time, Chronos Japan covers talk sessi...
