    Jake - what about a chrono???

    Would be so cool to have a dive chrono with 70s style but today's reliability and water resistance. How about a Tsunami chrono, huh?

    I like this idea! SII makes at least one automatic chronograph, the NE78A movement that Invicta has used. Looks like a good movement and a great price.
    Cheers,

    Hmm, sounds interesting. I think this idea may generate a lot of interest. I'm thinking the case shape should be similar to that of the new Baliha'i chrono. There arent many auto chronos by the micros/small watchmakers. Zenton is the only one I can think of off hand.

    Right. The Zenton is very cool, but very much a modern tool watch and huge. Helson's is nice too but something funkier would be great.

    Definitely a possibility in the future. T III ? (lol) One thing at a time. At this point in my life, there are two things I don't believe in.

    1) CREDIT..I only buy what I can pay for.
    2) Farming out the making of the watches themselves...I want to make every watch by hand. I love making watches...not paying other people to do it.

    Those two things limit me, but they're self-imposed limitations

    This does sound interesting. Like Jake said.... one thing at a time. I still can't wait to see what the T2 looks like.

    They are alive, because they are the physical shape of the action of a living power—of the mind that had been able to grasp the whole of this complexity, to set its purpose, to give it form… they are alive, but their soul operates them by remote control. Their soul is in every man who has a capacity equal to this achievement. Should the soul vanish from the earth, the motors would stop because that is the force which keeps them going - not the oil ...- not the steel cylinders that would have become spots of rust on the walls of the caves of shivering savages- the power of a living mind, the power of thought and choice and purpose.
