Today we’re taking another look at a video that explores the connection between tattooing and watchmaking with world-famous ink-master Benjamin Laukis. The watch in focus here is?his TAG Heuer Calibre 18 Telemeter. Other watches in Ben’s enviable stable include an A. Lange & S?hne Zeitwerk and a Tiffany dialled Patek Philippe Calatrava. The man?knows his watches.“Tattoos are something I spend a lot of time creating with my hands. I can relate to the hours and the effort put in to such a nice piece. The manufacture of the watch is a big part of why I like them.”“People that work in anything handmade are drawn to other things that are handmade and created by a person, not a production line. Watches are incredible, the process behind them is just insane.”“Watchmaking has been around for so long, it’s a time honoured tradition. That’s why vintage is coming back. It’s not going away. They can’t make it any better.”
