    Watch + Film inspired art piece..... (hint: see my Biography)

    For any WIS or watch collector having a look at my watch box, it would undoubtedly be the least interesting and most unimpressive of them all... but I can't help but get excited every time I wear my Vostok 420526. Why? Not only is the little watch so quirky and fun (especially given how affordable and indestructible it is), but I absolutely love the film "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" (if you haven't seen it, do yourself a favour).

    In honor of the specialness that this watch and film represent to me, a buddy of mine commissioned an artist to create an original piece for me (as a surprise) -- and here is the result!

    Not a favorite film of mine, but always happy to see another Liverpool fan on the board! Cool piece of art.

    I haven't seen the film either! Very cool gesture though. Does the character wear a vostok in the film or are these just 2 things you like combined in art?
