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 [...]

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.

Ball Watches Get High (UP) With The New Engineer Master II Aviator GMT

Surprisingly, Ball Watch Co. is about to release a relatively straight forward and simple watch. I am a big fan of the brand, but lately their new watches have been getting functionally (and cosmetically) more and more complex. I always have appreciated their simple masculine looks that weren’t trying to hard to be something they [...]

Vacheron Constantin Metiers d’Art Tribute To Explorers 2008 Watches: Not Particularly Good Tributes To Great Explorers

While I really like the idea, I just don’t think Vacheron Constantin succeeding in getting the point across with these watches.

Solid gold cases frame sophisticated enamel [...]
