Zenith Mega Port Royal Tourbillon Watch: Expensive Answer To Question No One Asked

Say, why don’t they have a jumbo sized square tourbillon watch with cage bars on the crystal? Oh, well Zenith does, and this odd homage to goth time-telling befuddles my sense of association. On the one hand, you have the underpinnings of a high-quality Zenith Port Royal watch. This handsome tank watch is a modern [...]

Well Done Double Retrograde From Pierre DeRoche: New Brand On The Scene

I have to applaud a new grand that releases relatively sober and legible timepieces. The Double Retrograde from the new Swiss watch brand Pierre DeRoche is an obvious “homage” to Gerald Genta, but well done nonetheless;making for a legible watch that strays from the norm.
A retrograde watch is one that has a hand that [...]

LVMH Gobbles Up Hublot: Louis Vuitton Corporate Bag Gets Even More Stuffed

Here in San Francisco you see an interesting trend since the dot com boon of the late 1990s. You have companies that are started, only to be sold.

Start Your Engines: Racing Inspired Temption Classic Chronograph Watch Available

Perhaps there is not too much classic about it save for the fact that it uses an ETA Valjoux 7750 movement. Temption is a supreme German watch maker, not a marketing agency right? So we can forgive the odd name and focus on the beautiful watch.

Botta Design Watches Available Through Kenmar Watches

It is easy to talk about nice watches, it is harder to tell you where to get them. If only the watch industry had volume and distribution like the electronics industry. Perhaps someday. Until that point, you’ll hear from me when I learn about a store online selling a desirable watch brand. Of course you [...]

New Linde Werdelin Sea Instrument: Luxury Computer Diving Instrument

As if the existing range of diving computers was not enough, Linde Werdelin felt it necessary to expand their “Instrument” lineup with the Sea Instrument to compliment the Land Instrument. Sounds reasonable enough. If you recall, the Linde Werdelin Land Instrument (discussed here) is a high-end computer that sits on your wrist either in a [...]

Oris Regulateur “Der Meistertaucher” – Big Is Beautiful

The polls have been counted, the results are in and the verdict…size matters! Well, at least underwater, according to Oris. The swiss watchmaker, well known for producing high quality yet at the same time surprisingly affordable diving watches, has just released its new diving watch, and its the largest ever!

Omega Wants You! Pays George Clooney To Look Goofy For The Cause

What times we live in. Who would have ever thought to see a celebrity endorse a watch company’s recruiting efforts.
