Today's watch - restored 1960's Błonie. These watches were only made for 3 years between 1959 and 1962. I bought this one from a watchmaker in Krakow who specialises in restorations.
Retro white faced 36mm mechanical watch with minimal gold hour markers and delicate hands. Blue leather strap. Tiny lettering at the 6 hour marker reads "Made in Poland". The watch is on my wrist in a sunbeam. The light shines warmly off the curved perspex-like glass.
Despite lots of tinkering, I cannot get my Pac-Man watch to work again 😭. It worked fine when I first got it (used), but soon the battery died. Ever since then it's been dead. I can't think of anything else to do.

Just watched M3GAN yesterday! 🎬 This sci-fi horror flick from 2022 about a creepy AI doll "Toy" gone rogue is wild, good movie, loved it! 😱 The movie got me thinking about AI’s future, especially if we hit AGI like M3GAN. The idea of AI turning dangerous is chilling, could it really happen? Anyway, it's a good watch and part 2 is in cinema now!
60 Free Film Noir Movies You Can Watch Online, Including Classics by John Huston, Orson Welles & Fritz Lang via Open Culture [Shared]
During the 1940s and 50s, Hollywood entered a “noir” period, producing riveting films based on hard-boiled fiction. These films were set in dark locations and shot in a black & white aesthetic that fit like a glove. Hardened men wore fedoras and forever smoked cigarettes. Women played the femme fatale role brilliantly. Love was the surest way to death. All of these elements figured into what Roger Ebert calls “the most American film genre” in his short Guide to Film Noir.
The image depicts a black and white scene with two silhouetted figures standing in a dimly lit, misty environment. The figure on the left is a woman wearing a long coat and high heels, with her hair styled in a mid-length bob. The figure on the right is a man wearing a hat, a suit, and trousers. Both figures are facing away from the camera, creating a sense of mystery. In the background, there is a wheelbarrow, adding to the industrial or construction-like setting. The misty atmosphere and the stark contrast between the figures and the background contribute to a dramatic and enigmatic mood.

An everyday capitalism-related warning: if you’re planning on buying an Apple Watch online with the solo loop, don’t. You can’t just send the strap back if there’s a problem with it (mine caused contact dermatitis after a few day’s use). They’ll happily take the whole order back though because, well, fuck you, I guess. Anyway, caveat emptor and all that. And your daily reminder that trillion-dollar corporations are all asshats.
Long rectangle in bright green with light tooth texture. Three rows each with doubled black over white diamond shapes that decrease in size as the view descends. Three in top row, four in center row, & five in bottom row. Details over these: three tiny metal butterflies, five white watch faces, and four torn scraps of text from ads. (No other colors, just duotone effects.) Butterfly shape repeats in large faint “chalk” marks on the green background.
