Edox Grand Ocean Decentrique Date Automatic Watch

Here is another new Edox watch for 2009, the Grand Ocean Decentrique Date Automatic. If you aren’t sure about the “decentrique” part of the name, just see how the face itself is “decentered.” Yes, putting the suffix “ique” on just about anything gives you the ability to charge a 10-20% premium when selling it. Its [...]

Edox Grand Ocean Jumping Hour Watch

Things have been quiet from Edox for a while, and suddenly they present a few new models. The brand has been crawling upmarket as of late, with the pictured recent addition to the line priced at over $5,000. This is the new Edox Grand Ocean Jumping Hour, and it takes full advantage of the brand’s [...]

New RGM North Pointer Professional GMT 254 Watch

RGM makes watches in Lancaster County,  Pennsylvania, which is a hub of American watch making. In fact, the majority of hands-on watch making that occurs in America today is in, or near Pennsylvania. A fact that strikes me as curious given the remote nature of some of these towns, but makes sense if you compare [...]

New Temption Cameo Watch Finally Available

Last summer I told you about the new watch from Temption called the Cameo. It is their first square cased watch, and certainly unique. As is the case with most new watch announcements, the Cameo was announced long before actual release. Well, Temption has just announced that the Cameo is finally available. Actually, the watches [...]

Bavarian Crono Offers Volkswagen Instrument Panel Homage Collection Of Watches (1946-1970s)

This will not be the first time that a watch face was designed after an automobile instrument panel, but this time there is no hiding the fact. In an obvious wave to the cultural icon that Volkswagen cars have been for so many over the years, Bavarian Crono (“Chrono” for us English minded folks) offers [...]

Panerai Luminor Chrono Daylight Titanium PAM 327 Watch Released

Panerai is pretty regular about their watch release schedule. We tend to get a few new ones each year. With the pre Basel announcements coming up, I expect to see a lot from Panerai this year. One new announcement is the Luminor Chrono Daylight Titanium, which is the ref. PAM 327. This Panerai is distinctly [...]

Discussing DLC: Linde Werdelin Talks About The Hard Black Elemental Watch And Diamond Like Carbon Coating In General

You’ve probably seen at least something about DLC. You might not know what it is though, and the three letter term might go right past you. That’s OK, because DLC is a relatively new addition to a watch maker’s arsenal. Speaking with the very knowledgeable people at Linde Werdelin, I  recently have a new understanding [...]

Vacheron Constantin Returns To What It Is Good At With The Collection Excellence Platine Patrimony Double Retrograde Watch

Vacheron Constantin isn’t good at everything, but they are good at a few things. One of those things is making effectively simple luxury watches. Getting too avant garde really isn’t their thing. Releasing “modern” watches really isn’t their thing either. In my opinion the newer Quai de l’Ile collection was a visual and logical disaster.
Moving [...]

Corum Admiral’s Cup Watch Line Gets The Black Flag And Black Hull For Piratey Good Times

I’ve always been a fan of the Corum Admiral’s Cup lines of watch, the more modern versions that is. The watch is meant to celebrate the Admiral’s Cup yacht race, that you’ve only heard about if you are known in some circles as “admiral,” or are currently wearing deck shoes. The trademark of the watches [...]
