Boy was I excited when this popped into my RSS reader. It’s the new Horological Machine No3! I was positive it was an intergallactic transporter of some kind, or an automatic Enzyte dispenser. Alas, it is just a watch from MB&F.

Did you know that Horologists are people who study and love watches? Neither did I. I just thought they were watchers.

At any rate, this is a pretty friggin’ awesome watch. I just hope there is a button somewhere to push to display the time.
