EVERY Sunday morning as the clock strikes eight, Jayanta Sardar of Hatibagan, north Kolkata, comes down to his living room, takes out the 100 odd clocks and watches he owns and spreads them out in front of him. He dusts them, winds them, caresses them tenderly, lovingly for hours on end.…companies whose products adorn his living room include Omega, Courvoisier, Ben Nevis �� all celebrated Swiss clock manufacturers �� and Rotherhams of England.''Clocks are the “elixir of life for him,'' says wife Ratna, who extends unflinching support to her husband in his unique and fascinating pursuit.Anyone else just a little jealous?

Watchmaker Chronoswiss has unveiled a new timepiece which goes for a simple design, yet packing in plenty of features.Called the Sirius Triple Date, the watch looks to honour the brightest star which can be seen in the sky, Watch Luxus has reported.Looking at the face of this timepiece reveals a wealth of elements which will appeal to watch fans hoping to find a product offering more than just telling the current time.This is because there are two windows below the 12 o'clock position which calculates the current day and month, with a mini-dial around the six o'clock location showing the date, as well as the moon phase being applied as an added touch by Chronoswiss, a name which was first etched into the watchmaking industry in 1984.However, these are all designed in a style which does not overload this part of the watch, in which the website noted: "The Sirius Triple Date is characterised by timeless, elegant design, proving that sometimes less is indeed more."
