Watch Blogger and horology genius died on May 12. His insight and research into everything from Omegas to mainsprings made him one of the most important names in this business. I’ve had limited interaction with him over the years but the exchanges I’ve had were quite cordial and he was always helpful.

He was a great friend, gentleman, and giant in the mechanical watch world. He will be missed terribly. ;-(
I left my thoughts here:

Also, some friends of Chuck have established an archive of Chuck’s website so that it might be preserved for enthusiasts:

Dear Chucks family,
I am very sad for your loss. Although I never met him personally, I used, read and re-read his articles and postings about watches, mainly Omega Speedmaster. I was amazed at Chuck’s knowledge and willingness to help others to understand watch things. Trhough him, I met other watch aficionados around the world, such as Mr. Stratsma. I will really miss him. His loss has been a total and complete surprise to me, and I know that the same will be to many others. God bless you Chuck wherever in Heavens you are and my deepest symphaties to your family.
