Linde Werdelin Gets In The DLC Game With The Hard Black Elemental Biformeter Watch

I’ve appreciated the Elemental watch from England based Linde Werdelin for a while. I still don’t understand the “Biformeter” name on the watch, but it sounds cool enough. The watches were always nice looking, very rugged, and techie looking timepieces better suited to James Bond style excursions rather than lumberjack journeys.
The newest Elemental is the [...]

Going To Be In The Netherlands In Early December? Attend Watch2008: The Independent & Innovative Watch Maker Show

Wow, I really want to go, but being in the US makes things hard. Watch2008 (Yes, there will be a Watch2009, etc…) is going to be an excellent show and dedicated to smaller and innovative watch makers that are more dedicated to the craft of making quality watches than some marketing image. An impressive list [...]

Erwin Sattler Mixes Old & New Perfectly With The Trilogie Watch, Clock, & Winder Combo

Here is a piece of innovative watch technology and integration from a brand you probably haven’t heard of. That is OK, because Erwin Sattler does not tend to make wrist watches. As a segue into dabbling in this market, they built a steampunk looking device that is very beautiful and functional combining a watch, watch [...]

For The Billionaire Tycoon In Us All, There Is The Kunstwinder Industrial Collection Oil Barron Two Watch Winder

I was walking by Jewelry store at night gazing in the window to see if they had any interesting watches. Sometimes you get lucky and they don’t store them away for the night. I did see a few empty watch displays to my chagrin. But then, I saw something I’d never seen before. It was [...]

Enamel Protocole XXL Watch Collection Furthers Piaget’s Obsession With New York And Paris

What started with laser engraving on the side of a watch case is turning into a trend and serious art form for Piaget. Last year they released two watches with such laser engraving; the Piaget Polo Tourbillon relatifs. One was of a Paris skyline, and the other of New York. Each was done with incredible [...]

Beautiful Bentley Watch Safe By Stockinger Begs, ‘Please Steal Me’

The people behind this limited edition line of Bentley branded safes by English Stockinger say that they felt traditional safes were too ugly and bland. Big rugged looking cubes that just say “eh” and sit there in a drab gray or black. Well that is true, but that was the point. They are supposed to [...]

Jaeger LeCoultre Asks You A Dumb Question; Offers A Nonsense Response

“Hi, how’s it going?”
“Just fine sir, care to view any fine Jaeger LeCoultre timepieces today?”
“Well, I don’t know. What makes these…. Jaeger LeCoultre watches…. better than what I’ve got now?”
(sigh) “Sir… these are what we call, ‘real watches.’ A a Jaeger LeCoultre watch represents an accomplishment combining elegance and discretion with a natural aura of [...]

Stylin’ Xemex XE 5000 Automatic Watch With Perlage Polished Metal Face

This is one of the rarest Xemex XE 5000 watches out there, and perhaps the most interesting. This is Xemex trying to be even more avant garde and succeeding. The XE 5000 line of Xemex watches was intended to be a higher budget Offroad, and offered complex chronograph and standard three hand models in various [...]

Review Of The Oceanus OCW-S1000 “Manta” On WatchReport.com

Up for review today is the Oceanus OCW-S1000 “Manta,” an analog powerhouse of a dress watch with a formidable inner geek. Like all new Oceanus models, it’s solar-powered, radio-set and very well made indeed. This one is the thinnest and lightest in the lineup at 10.2mm thick and 85g, made from titanium with a sapphire [...]

Cambridge University Gets Masterful Corpus ‘Chronophage’ Clock From Inventor John C. Taylor: Reminds Students To Graduate On Time, Or Else!

I love this stuff. It seems as though most all inventors at one point in their life just have to create some method of displaying the time. They can’t call them ‘clocks’ either, that would be too…routine. Here we have a fascinating clock that was donated to Cambridge University in England by successful inventor John [...]
