Xemex Speedway: Watch I Would Wear If Was A Math Teacher

Math teacher is really the first thing that comes to mind when I see the Xemex Speedway. Don’t get me wrong, but the ruler hands and sharp angularity, combined with the clear colors and the compass-like round face all make me think of measuring instruments and time proven formulae. The look is deceptively aesthetic [...]

I Am Not Cool Enough For This Watch, But I Want to Be: Zenith Defy Extreme

Zenith has come a long way from being a maker of fine movements to fine looking watches. Having died for a while some years ago, the brand returned vigilant in its desire to make bold looking watches without counterpart. The Zenith Defy Extreme line is the epitome of that pursuit. Nothing looks quite like it, [...]

The Omega Speedmaster X-33

Say Hi to the Omega Speedmaster X-33. Introduced in 1998, this is one amazing watch. Omega literally flight (and crash) tested it with NASA and military pilots, experimenting with several design iterations before settling on and shipping two commercial versions. It was designed for pilots and space flight, and is rated by NASA for the mission to Mars. Without a doubt, this is one of the coolest and most interesting analog-digital watches ever made.

Blognapping: Often Innocent Copyright Violations

There is often a misconception that content online is either free or up for grabs. Most of us are well skilled in the art of copying and pasting, and we take its functionality for granted. Often times taking other people’s content, we seldom stop to think of the implications. Granted, this is not my personal [...]

P.E.A.R – People Enraged by Apple Relations: The New Word In the Anti-Apple Arsenal and Apple’s New iPhone Sales Policy

I am coining the acronym P.E.A.R (People Enraged by Apple Relations). Not just because Pears make a decent alternative to apples, but because mobilization and group think is an important part of rebelling against an evil empire. I think anti-Apple thinkers aren’t organized because our disdain of their policies and products is usually pretty obvious [...]

Blogging For Self Promotion

Blogging basically started as a way share your digital diary with…, well anyone. The concept seemed a bit “trendy” at first. One of those, “using the power of the internet” to allow the lay person to distribute their ideas. The fear was that legions of untalented, bad writers would flood the net with uninteresting, or [...]

ETA to Cease Making Movements for Outside Watch Makers

Watch forums are a buzz over the fact that ETA will be halting all sales of it’s movements to outside watch makers in 2010. ETA is a quasi government-owned company that designs and manufactures watch movements. Some of these go directly to its brands (such as Swatch), others are made in kit form and are [...]

Temption CGK203 Watch Review: German Bauhaus Powerhouse

There is a good deal to say about the Temption CGK203, much of which has been said in other reviews. I am going to attempt to discuss what I believe is salient and important to my ownership experience, as I do own one of these. Temption is a small German maker with only one distributor [...]

70’s Retro Done Well: Louis Vuitton Tambour Diver Watch

It is easy to find the style of the 1970s unappealing. Despite the fact that it is “coming back,” (from what I hear) it was an era of too many browns, too much synthetics, and too much hair. One thing however that the 1970s encouraged was large size. Big hair, big cars, big pants, and [...]
