We’re proud to announce that the Summer Issue of The Occasional from Part-Time Audiophile is now online! We’re committed to more than just audio reviews and music—just like it says on the cover, “not another audiophile magazine, but a magazine for audiophiles and the things they love.”

John DeVore's The Grand Finale in The Occasional

We've just posted the full version of John DeVore's The Grand Finale article on Part-Time Audiophile's site. This was an article that originally appeared in the Spring Issue of my magazine, The Occasional. John DeVore is a brilliant speaker designer (DeVore Fidelity), but he is also a watch enthusiast, and this article covers the race to produce the first automatic winding chronograph in the late '60s. I was proud to publish this, and I hope you enjoy reading it.
