Tumblr Problems

I’m about to move this site to a hosted WordPress solution because, as you can see, I can no longer embed Mevio embeds into the posts here and I have to depend on Tumblr’s video post thinger (don’t ask). Anyway, while we do this please excuse our dust.

Episode 84 – Cigars, Ski Masks, DeLoreans and Glad Handing

Welcome to the HourTime show, the best 30 minute (+/-) hour podcast on the web


This week on HTS we speak about Ariel’s visit to Arizona Fine Time and Grand Seiko and how shopping for watches that cost more then your home with a skimask is actually a bad idea. We also do a fly by of the MB&F Legacy Machine No. 1 Watch and look forward to Romain Jerome’s take on incorporating DNA of the iconic DeLorean in to a watch.  

Will going 88MPH with this bad boy on make you travel through time?  Probably not … but trying may let you travel to traffic court.  

“Why, hello officer … “
