The UTS Bauhaus 1000 Meter Collection: Possibly UTS’s Most Attractive Watch Yet
UTS Munchen watch company is literally comprised of basically one extremely dedicate watch maker who puts each UTS watch together by hand. Utterly German in their form and function, these venerable watches make wonderful tools. Which is part of their appeal and drawback at the same time. The watches excel are their function, but could [...]
The “It’s Good To Be King Watch:” Backes & Strauss Berkeley Diamond Watch
Ah…back way before you were even a sprinkle of DNA in your ancestors’ gene pool, Backes and Strauss was supplying the world with precious precious diamonds. This was in 1789, when I hear diamonds were still cut using dinosaur teeth, or something similar. From diamond supply all over the navigable planet, to headquarters in London, [...]
The Marcello C. Senatore, A Curious Wink To The Rolex Daytona That I Want To Get My Hands On
I’ve said some negative things about Rolex. I think they act really slow, haven’t innovated much lately, and play it too safe. Regardless, Rolex has a few powerful classic designs under its belt. The two major ones for me are the Submariner lines, and the Daytona. Speaking of the Daytona, I understand that it is [...]
New Steampunk Watch Direction: Asymmetry, Big Gears: New Items From Olga Clock Works
It’s been a while since I covered new work from one of my favorite watch and clock artists; Olga Narozhna (click to visit her site). I wrote an at length article about her here. Among her many fine efforts, she offers really interesting steampunk watch creations, that if you are lucky, she sells on eBay. [...]
Experience With the Tiffany & Co. Mark T-57 Line Of Watches
Luxury goods companies like Louis Vuitton and Tiffany & Co. sell watches in addition to their other goods. These watches are often highly limited and of good quality these days (the story was different 20-25 years ago). Often times, these watches are given oversight as not coming from a traditional watch company, but they deserve [...]
$100,000 Music Box, Four Songs, On Your Wrist: Mermod Freres Primo 4 Musical Watch
There are far more watches costing $100,000 than you’d guess; and many that exceed that price. If you are going to spend that type of money on a watch, it might as well have a unique novelty, considering you aren’t going to wear it very often. Here we have an interesting toy for the uber-wealthy, [...]
Mystery Tiffany & Co. Diving Watch Is Rare Treat: Partnership With NauticFish, Enza Mechana?
Here is something you don’t see everyday. A rare Tiffany & Co. watch that I just can’t seem to figure out. I learned of this watch as it is being offered on eBay right now with no end date until someone purchases it. The seller claims that it is a Tiffany & Co. watch built [...]
Oris Atelier Worldtimer Review On WatchReport.com
There are certain high-end Swiss watches that I’ve always admired for their style and function, among them is the Ulysse Nardin GMT ± Perpetual. It’s a travel watch in the tradition of the Rolex GMT Master, but with a neat twist: It has two buttons that increment or decrement the local time. When you [...]
Review of the Casio Pathfinder PAW1500T-7V On WatchReport.com
The face of a watch, like a person, often tells you quite a bit about what they are. Sometimes they’re subtle and restrained, and sometimes their place in the world is writ large for all to see. The Casio Pathfinder, model number PAW1500T-7V is one of those “this is who I am, got a problem [...]
Jacob & Co. Lord Of The Bling Dances His Way Into Jail; No, Not For Selling Fugly Watches
Tragedy ensues in many communities as watch maker and jeweler Jacob & Co. founder Jacob Arabov will be sent to prison for 30 months. The crime was essentially laundering drug money and lying to law enforcement while providing false documents. Arabov’s organized crime client “The Black Mafia Family” (this is what they are called and [...]
Pop Art TechnoMarine Cruise Britto Collection Reminds Us Of Novel Swatch Watches From The 80’s
Brazilian Artist Romero Britto has popularity in many art circles because his work combines styles cherished by many. Though he has his own distinct look, it is all heavily influenced by Picasso cubism, Roy Lichtenstein pop art, Japanese pop art, and a “world” urban happy feel. I’d say that most of his art tends to [...]
Black & Blue Fighters: The Kobold Phantom Tactical & Sinn 203 Arktis Watches
Please don’t make me choose one of the two. Both are highly desirable to me. Are you really going to make them fight for my affection? I wonder who would win. Here you have two Valjoux 7750 automatic movement based watches from American and Germany, though the movements are Swiss.
The Kobold Phantom is the epitome [...]
Seiko Deepens Prospex Watch Line With The Marinemaster Kinetic Direct Drive
I am convinced that Seiko loves their dive watches most of all. Not only do their dive watches get to sample each fragment of new technology that they release, but dive styled watches fall at the bottom and top of Seiko’s watch line from a price perspective. One result is a dizzying array of diving [...]
Review Of The Sinn 856 UTC On WatchReport.com
“In my tireless search for unique, robust, and beautiful watches, it was inevitable that I would someday be wearing a Sinn. I chose the 856 UTC as my first Sinn because it represents a very nice balance between functionality and design.
Before I get into the specifics of the 856, I want to provide a little [...]
Sylvester Stallone Oogles A Few New U-Boat Watches: Makes Panerai Jealous?
Like many celebrities Sylvester Stallone is a big watch lover. Unlike others he is attributed with making a brand popular in Hollywood (Panerai), and working closely with watch companies. Accordingly, Panerai has even released models with the “Slytech” name in honor of Stallone for his love and participation with the company. Stallone love’s Panerai so [...]
Amusing Look At Fake Watch Store Watches-brand.com; Worth The Look For The Laughs
When did Citizen watches start to become the target of fakes? Its true. I first learned that Watches-brand.com was selling fake Citizen Campanola watches, such as the Grand Complication. This sort of makes sense as the watches are all above $2000 and feature quartz movements. But then I learned that they didn’t stop there. They [...]

Temption Cora Is One Of The Finest Female Watches I know Of: One Rare Model Available
This is probably the first time I have ever seen ones of these watches for sale. There are perhaps a few thousand of them in the world for the entire Cora series. This diamond studded limited edition is one of only300 on the planet. I would classify the Temption Cora as a woman’s watch that [...]
Easy Looking At The Easy Diver, Dive Watch Series By Roger Dubuis
On a few instances I have dedicated discussion to the world of luxury diving watches. To some, it seems a contradiction, why imbue a tool meant to be exposed to harsh elements with a luxury facade? To others, it seems like the perfect combination of things they love. I fall into this latter category. The [...]
Classic Complication & Beauty In The Maitres du Temps Chapter One Watch
New watch brands are appearing more frequently these days, and I am not sure what that means. Have existing brands run their course? Or does starting a new brand give a special value to a watch? The reality is that many brands have the same (or some of the same people) behind them. If you [...]
Review of the Orient CFT00004B On WatchReport.com
The Seiko Spring Drive Spacewalk is to space what the new Rolex Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA is to the ocean.
Star Wars Darth Vader Costume On Sale: What Watch Would He Wear?
Star Wars lore seems to indicate that some who are strong in the force can see into the future to an extent. Does this mean they inherently know what time it is? Darth Vader does not wear a watch, though his suit might tell him what time it is. This very cool Darth Vader costume [...]
Experience With The DeWitt WX-1 Concept; A Watch Defying Convention With Unorthodox, Yet Timeless Composure
I began writing this article over a month ago in my mind, but haven’t begun reducing it to writing until now. It’s not that I struggle to find words suitable for this watch, rather, its a watch that inspires me to say so much. In fact, calling it a watch is almost a misnomer, because [...]
Watch Alert: Rare Temption CGK203 With Valjoux 7751 Available
This is going to be a relatively short explanation because I’ve dedicated an entire article to this watch already, but I wanted to mention that a Temption CGK203 watch is available on eBay right now. How amazed I get when this occurs! This occurs maybe once or twice a year, if that. Only 1100 Temption [...]
Portero.com Mini Review: Mediorce Used Watch Retailer Disguised As An Auction Site
As though I needed any reason to keep on using eBay, my experience with Portero.com does just that. eBay has a very good thing going on. Last I checked, it is the 9th most visited website in the United States, and on the watch front, enjoys an impressive volume of inventory daily. The auction method [...]
