Appearing as an 'expert' on Simon Mayo's Radio 2 drivetime show

My electronic greetings card for Christmas and New Year 2009/10

A historical curio, this: the first bit of paid-for journalism I ever wrote, for the news pages of The Cricketer International magazine, July 1989.

A beautiful 1930s watch with a square face and domed crystal. Another Ebay find.

A 1960s chronograph with a Valjoux 7733 movement. The face bears a Breitling badge, but it's clearly been added later. On the back the watch has an inscription relating to Jim Clark's Indianapolis 500 win - but was that added later too?

A blue-faced dress watch, bought in an eBay auction - not because it's immensely valuable or beautifully made, but just because it's a great colour and a clean design.

This early 1970s watch has a superb 'sunburst' dial that reminds me of a 1950s Fender Stratocaster or Gibson Les Paul guitar.

1960s sports watch with a pseudo-chronograph Swiss movement by R Lapanouse Ltd that was probably more for show than for use, and a simple circular slide-rule bezel.

A restoration project, bought at a car boot sale.

After years of diligent research, I have finally found what must surely be the worst article ever written about cars.

Restoration project,bought at a car boot sale. This is an attractive little watch, much smaller and thinner than the flashy Sicuras but no less interesting - I particularly like that 'red arrow' seconds hand.

Restoration project, bought at a car boot sale. This is a classic big, heavy diver's-style watch, probably from the 1970s when Sicura were at their peak.

Restoration project, bought at a car boot sale. This uses the Ebauches Bettlach 8800 movement. It has a curious orange seconds (?) hand with another hand fixed to it at 90 degrees - the two hands move together.

Bought as 'new old stock' from online watch dealer RLT Watches. I love these huge Sornas just because they are so absurdly over the top.

I find watches fascinating, particularly mechanical watches. They offer the same functions we expect from our modern electronic wristwatches but using tiny, precision-made mechanisms.
