SOMETIME

Sometime is about time, actually it isn't, well, not obviously so, which is why it's called Sometime, because it relates to time, some of the time. It will fight against being pigeon-holed, but if pressed, it is about my life in watches which is science, technology, engineering, design, manufacture, business, family, health and other people. It is one of those quiet places with a glass of something proper type things. Told as stories that last no longer than 20 mins in a slowed down, reflecting vibe which is in stark contrast to my generally maniacal working day. I need this, maybe you do too.

Story No.4 The Science of Black Watches

Navigating the details on modern black watch materials, coatings and finishes can be a confusing undertaking. Ambiguous science with misleading figures all contribute to the marketing nonsense that spews from our beloved and often hyperbolic industry. This reading of an article written for Substack should clear up some of the technobabble we are too often confronted with. Also, listen to Story No.1 for a playful jab at technobabble specifically!

I mention the Blacklamp EVO - see the UNDERCURRENTS blog, there may well be something hidden there.

Also - you should see the LIGHT - our new general purpose field watch.

And you just have to sign up to the ⁠⁠Six-Pips newsletter⁠⁠. It is a good one, worth your effort.

Finally, the hub of it all - Schofield Watch Co.
