Making Sense Of The Sellita SW200 Movement: Same As ETA 2824-2
Lots of people are starting to notice that watch makers are starting to indicate the movement of a watch as “Swiss Movement.” For most of us, such an ambiguous designation is unacceptable, as this can mean just about anything. Strictly speaking, for a watch or movement to legally have the “Swiss Made” designation upon it, [...]

Want One Location For Watch Information? Not Much Out There

Linde Werdelin Land Instrument Watch: Personal Sensorship
Recently, ablogtoread.com covered the Nokia Eco Sensor Concept, a conceptual device brimming with sensors, connectivity and functionality.

The Nokia Eco Sensor though [...]
Tag Heuer To Release Watch Phones Based On Link Model
It has been done before, but with no particular success. The phone in the watch. It makes sense from an ergonomics and functional standpoint, but is the world really ready for what might be even sillier looking than people who wear their Bluetooth headsets even while not on the phone? While it is not clear [...]
Patek Philippe Wants To Like You; Finds It So Difficult
A few days ago I wrote about a new watch coming out of the house of Patek Philippe. Namely, the reference 5960P at about $80,000. A beautiful watch, but why all the hubbub for a timepiece that costs so much? For that money anything should be possible right? Well some people find themselves waiting around [...]
Temption Cherubin Watch: Dynamic And Unique Rattrapante
How nice it would be to have a larger availability of Temption watches. With just two authorized dealers in the entire US, you aren’t likely going to see Temption watches very often, which is a shame considering how beautiful these watches are. I have a Temption CGK203 Watch which I reviewed here. The results were [...]
Patek Philippe Ref. 5960P Chrono Calendar: Nice And Classy If You Can Afford It
Patek Philippe is a star among watch makers. Almost like a higher class Rolex, Patek stays high among the uber-elite, and sneers down upon the lower classes of watches and people. This is where you get the sales people who treat you like your father cleaned their father’s bathrooms. Regardless of their attitude, Patek Philippe [...]

YES Watches Offer Celestial Time Telling At A Glance

The Citizen Attesa GMT (ATD53-2903) Review From WatchReport.com
I recently learned that Citizen has added several new GMT models to their Attesa line of high-end quartz watches. I was particularly struck by the unique, stark, and tough look of the Attesa ATD53-2903.

Watch Choice For Survival: Top Pick For Deserted Island Scenario?

Edox Classe Royale Watch: Stylish Symmertry In A Tank
In watch terminology a “tank” is a square shaped watch. Strictly speaking, it was a name given to a rectangular Cartier watch, but has been applied to square along with rectangular watches. Square watches are a contradiction, because an analog clock is round, and you have stick a circle in a square. Tank watches are [...]
Antiquorum.com Holds Auctions For Rare And Valuable Watches: Worth It For The Pictures
While eBay is my perennial auction favorite, technically (and legally) speaking, eBay holds no auctions, they merely facilitate auctions between private parties. Regardless, it is my opinion that eBay is the juggernaut of the internet private sales system. However, sometimes you want to indulge in the pomp and circumstance of a traditional auction. Which can [...]

Tourneau Plugs Omega De Ville On TV: Next Watch Commercial Sighting

Turning The Crystal Upside Down: Clever Method Of Placing A Magnifier Lens
It was probably Rolex that pioneered the use of a magnification lens on a watch’s crystal over the date to enhance the wearer’s ability to see the date. They were most likely to first to use this technique although it is unclear whether they invented the concept. Since Rolex starting using magnifier lenses, it has [...]

Sharing Your Mind: RSS Blog Syndication For The Willing
People blog for a number of reasons, mostly to get their ideas out there.

Schwarzenegger v. Bill Clinton: A Showdown Between Audemars Piguet Watches Of Ambitious Proportions
Elitist watch maker Audemars Piguet sells watches for people who easily remark, “my watch cost more than your car.” With all this money to spend, they get a bit generous with big shots like Presidents and big-shot actors. In this case Audemars Piguet created timepieces for both former President Bill Clinton and actor/California governor Arnold [...]
Future Watch Tech Revealed: Nokia Eco Sesnor Concept Is A Digital Watch You Want to Wear
We usually stay away from far-fetched tech concepts, because it is never a good idea to make one salivate with news of something that might never become attainable.
