But how much better would the Ventura be with a HAQ movement? Or the Longines VHP? Or the new Accutrons with a Bulova precisionist movement? Electric watch models/brands shouldn't be using mechanical movements in my opinion. In the case of the Hamilton and Accutron, I completely agree that they sho...

Much like Accutron, annoys me to all ends when historically electric watches like the Ventura gets automatic movements in the reissues. https://i.imgur.com/qGhiEIe.gif I don't see the problem there. This would be the design made for the Ventura in 1956 by Richard Arbib, a well-known industrial desi...

There is a new Ventura, which has the name "Elvis80 Skeleton", so that we join the name of the singer to the reserve of the caliber, and they will tell us that it is not a coincidence, but they commemorate and pay tribute to the... bah, who cares. We can always get some anniversary out of ...

The watch is nice, but that pastry :shock: Is the whole cone top meringue or is there pastry inside? The cone top is merigue. The basis may be usually puff pastry, or sometimes filled with pastry cream. Although every Spanish city has its own typical dessert or pastry specialty, "Carolinas&quo...
