Hello ForumnersAt the AHCI's stand at the Basel fair, I had the chance to chat with Roger W. Smith, a pleasant young British watchmaker who's already made some very impressive pieces during his short career. So far he's made a number or pocket watches, the "No 2" shown below with perpetual calendar and tourbillon, assisted George Daniels with the production of the "Millenium" watch series and now has brought out a rectangular wrist watch under his own name.I find the visuals of these watches very attractive so without much text, I'll just post the images from the CD he gave me for your viewing pleasure:Roger W. Smith "Wristwatch" with its gilded movement. The watch will be manufactured in a small series, price approx. 19,000 USDNo.2 pocket watch with perpetual calendar and tourbillonNo. 3 pocket watch with twin-barrels and remontoirGeorge Daniels "Millenium" watch (only Roger's personal watch is signed this way) with co-axial escapement. Movement is based on Omega's Caliber 2500 (ETA 2892 with co-axial escapement) and was finished and assembled by Roger.RegardsHans4/11/03

Get your own television set and wear it on your wrist! If you think that's impossible then take a look at the Roger Tallon Lip TV White watch which is selling for $275 and provides you a good view of what a wrist TV should like.You have to credit designer Roger Tallon who originally designed these funny-looking concept watches way back in 1975. Thee watches are being reintroduced to the market now and they may just have their own followers especially watch lovers who want something out of the ordinary.The French brand LIP has always been known for its innovative designs and one of those to have come out of their factories is the Roger Tallon Lip TV White watch. This supposedly TV watch may have been designed by Tallon in 1975 but it was updated by French designer Prisca Briquet.The crown of the Roger Tallon Lip TV White watch has been placed on the dedicated place at the top of the case. This may be a vintage watch but with this concept it does not look old at all.Well, the case may seem a little bit rusty-colored but the all white dial and leather bracelet makes it look more updated. The hour indicators are in red dots while the minutes are in straight black lines. It has a date indicator at 3 o'clock.Knowing that designer Tallon is the brains behind the high-speed French TGV, it is no longer a surprise that this watch was designed with the cutting edge of fashion in mind.
