Edwinek<p>I think a "wowee!" is appropriate here. Fantastic engineering and goed looking as well, though maybe not an every day watch. Of course, the price is even more astronomical than the watch.</p><p>The Christiaan Van Der Klaauw Grand Planetarium Eccentric Meteorite</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/watches" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>watches</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/meteorite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>meteorite</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/watchmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>watchmaking</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.fratellowatches.com/hands-on-christiaan-van-der-klaauw-grand-planetarium-eccentric-meteorite/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">fratellowatches.com/hands-on-c</span><span class="invisible">hristiaan-van-der-klaauw-grand-planetarium-eccentric-meteorite/</span></a></p>

Josh Johnson<p>So <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/watchmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>watchmaking</span></a> has been a great hobby for me that allows for detaching from the computer, but also still use similar skills to development…. I can't count the times I've had to debug something going wrong, test and measure improvements, or just think about the stack of things connecting to each other while working on watches. I just completed my second watch service this weekend and thought I'd share all the ups and down of this watch.</p><p><a href="https://jnjosh.com/posts/elgin-watch/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">jnjosh.com/posts/elgin-watch/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
Josh Johnson<p>But when I get it all back together and see it working during a test it feels so great <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jnjosh/reel/DFjisgnu-ms/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">instagram.com/jnjosh/reel/DFji</span><span class="invisible">sgnu-ms/</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Watchmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Watchmaking</span></a></p>
Josh Johnson<p>I'm surprised how much <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Watchmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Watchmaking</span></a> has been probably the closest non-programming thing I've done that gives me the same enjoyment. It seems to actually exercise some of the same skills. Tonight, for example, I had to debug something where the crown stem wouldn't engage which led me to disassemble a lot of my previous work to figure out what thing needed fixed. I might as well set up a JIRA instance for my watchmaking. 🙃</p>

Josh Johnson<p>One of my favorite thing about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/watchmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>watchmaking</span></a> so far is when you order replacement parts they are so small they are just taped in a plastic bage to the receipt.</p>
