Panoramas of the Singapore port

The Singapore port is one of the busiest in the world...here are two panoramas I took recently on a recce for a commission project for a Swiss company.

And one from a very high vantage point

As usual, panoramas are too small to be displayed on a regular computer screen. Click on the images for one wider....1920 pixels wide, which allow a glimpse into the effect produced by stitching multiple frames together to form the panorama. But best results are when printed large - for the second panorama, probably about 3m across.

Vatiations on a theme: The amazing Urwerk UR-110ST

I have shown the amazing Urwerk UR-110 ST before...I have a piece in titanium on loan from the factory (thanks Yacine, Felix, Martin). And I thought to do some partial macros to show the beautifully sculputured watch.


The watch is rather slim, as shown previously...see my SIHH report, but somehow Urwerk found enough space within the dial to create a 3 dimensional effect with the satelites.

Particularly so, when in the dark, the luminous nature of the paint on the markers just glow ever so brightly at different levels...

And flip over, the little turbines look like the watch is batting her eyelashes at you...melts the heart...:-)

More UR-110ST pictures to come in the following weeks. And I will put up a living with UR-110 report soon.
