• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

    Review: HODINKEE Magazine Volume 1

    Here is something I wrote for NAWCC WatchNews that has received a lot of attention online. Probably because it has the word HODINKEE in it but that's okay with me. Enjoy! https://watchnews.nawcc.org/mar-12---mar-16.html

    RGM / Martin Guitar Prototype on Loan at National Watch & Clock Museum

    Re: RGM / Martin Guitar Prototype on Loan at National Watch & Clock Museum Taylor makes a great guitar too! To my ears they seem to have a "faster" sound than a Martin. My dad has a Taylor and I always give it a strum when I visit him. Has Taylor ever cross promoted with a watch brand?

    What's in a Number?

    Hi Adam. Good question. FIC stands for Found in Collection. These are pieces that are discovered in our collections that have no documentation. In other words, we have no idea when they were donated, nor the person who donated them to us. I'm sure you have some great stories of FIC pieces that...
