Thanks again Transbuff1985. That 1st one gets me lots of comments as in: "I like your watch!" I wish I could find more in some fun colors. No luck yet! Bob

I still wear a watch daily. I like a clean and light in weight watch. We also still have time pieces around the house......and here are a couple! Bob...... Goodnight!
A- These are my favorite watches to wear at the moment. Very clean....and the time reads 4:30ish

B-Another simple, easy to read one.

C- I saw someone mentioned Swatch at one point. Well, I've had many over the years and most of these need a new battery & some new straps! The store close to us....closed a couple of years ago!

E- Then we have this timepiece that we purchased in Laguna Beach, CA back in 1972 during the Festival of Arts show. It hangs over our TV.

F- This simple, inexpensive clock that relaxes on a bookshelf has been seen on a couple of Christmases suspended in the center of a live wreath.

I will start the challenge with time pieces, way back thousands of years ago time was told by sundials and different water devices and then we got around to clocks and in 1505 Peter Henlein created the first pocket watch and it wasn't until 1810 that Abraham Louis Breguet created a wristwatch for the Queen of Naples, this caught on with the ladies but it took a fare while before men started wearing them. We seem to have come a long way since then.
Would be very interested to see your timepieces and the story behind them, if any.

This is an interesting challenge on time pieces. Jumping in on the late side and also late at night so adding a couple of posts rather quickly. My wife grew up with the following time piece since it was her grandmother's clock. Bob
1- key to wind on the side. Notice the pineapple design on the door.

Welcome to our first No Host challenge of the summer. Similar to Free Sunday, this week post whatever you wish. There is no specific host. Comment if you wish, however it isn't expected - all are busy and its great weather (at least here) to be out shooting.
Looks like your "No Host Challenge" is getting some good attention. I still enjoy taking lots of pictures and do manage to share many on my FB account. (I'm squinting like crazy as I put this together & correcting typing errors as I go!) Can't resist adding a couple to this challenge! Bob (Oops!.....ended up with more than a couple!)
1....If I were a fly this would be my aerial view of a flower arrangement my wife purchased a couple of days ago.

2.....Sometimes while sitting at my desk.....my attention is drawn to our bird bath just outside my window. This was a recent family gathering!

3.....This is our wild Pokeweed plant that we're allowing to grow this year for the 1st time. It's appeared about 3 times prior, but we usually yank it out since it grows like Jack-in-the -Beanstalk!

4.....We do know that it's poisonous so being very careful around it. It's an attractive weed and is interesting to watch!
