YOU SIR, are PERFECTION.

...by the way...what's that hanging from your fob-drop?

Thank you for the kind words, Shangas!

It's a Finnish traditional... thing. It's a vintage Kalevala-jewel. Here you can see it better

The silver cuff-links are also Kalevala.

Hey Sproily,

That's really beautiful! What can you tell me about your pocket watch? It looks really cool. Also, it doesn't look to be a particularly old model. Is it battery-powered or mechanical?

It doesn't have a makers mark. My watchmaker said considering from the mechanics it's from the 20's or 30's. And yes it's a mechanical watch.

It has an art decoish emblem on both covers.

I have no idea where one could find one. Atleast the same I have, because they don't make this model anymore. I haven't seen a similar one anywhere. Thus I don't know the history behind it.

Kalevala are traditional Finnish jewelry that have been made way before any major civilizations took over Finland. Kalevala Koru OY (corporation) have been making replicas of those old jewelry they have found in burial graves et cetera, as well as making some "retro" ones if you catch my drift.

On their website you can see what they are making at the moment:

The cuff-links I have have phased out and are no longer made. They feature a traditional symbol called "Hannunvaakuna" or Saint John's Arms.

Edit. Never mind, it seems that they still sell it after all.

We had our family portraits taken too, I in a vintage 3-piece, gray Lee and spats, Cassie in a very nice gray checked skirt suit, seamed stockings, with a snood and victory rolls, and Will in a brown '50s infant's outfit with an antique mother of pearl and silver teething ring/rattle.

How much? We've had about -30C here.
Tell me, do you still wear a fedora then or does practicality exceed elegance? This morning it was about -8C where I am but I still went with my fedora and trench coat for my paper round (usually the coat would get in the way of my bike but because of the ice I had to walk).
