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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Ulysse Nardin Astrolabium Galileo Galilei Watch Features Lots Of Info: Doesn’t Know How To Share The Knowledge

Ask someone wearing a Ulysse Nardin Astrolabium Galileo Galilei watch what time it is, and they may be forced to flash their wrist at you rather than respond. So what time is it? Your guess is as good as mine. While I can figure it out, this watch reminds me a Dr. Seuss creation gone [...]

A Look At The Real Military Watches On This Memorial Day

Today we are meant to remember those who fought and fell for America. In doing so, it is hard for me not to think about the endless stream of “military inspired” watches that we see advertised so much. The oodles of pilot watches, special forces watches, officer watches, the list just goes on really. Some [...]

Cousins Compared! Considering The Differences Between The Marcello C. Nettuno 3 And Tridente Dive Watches

Being a fan of Marcello C. watches, it quickly became clear to me that the Nettuno 3 and Tridente watches were very similar. Now owning both watches, I can say that while these watches look similar, and share certain components, they are two different watches, both useful and worth coveting in their own degree. See [...]

Watch Modifications, Customizations, Repairs, and Restorations from IWW

Consider A Nice Silver Faced Watch For That Formal Tuxedo Occassion

Yesterday I attended a very nice family wedding, which of course is not typically news for the blog, but this time there are a minor detail that sparked a worthwhile mention. The groom, who I had met for the first time on the day of the wedding instantly impressed me, making me feel extra good [...]

DeWitt Shines In The Glow Of Watch Dealer Shapur In San Francisco

Thursday was a nice day in San Francisco, and I was excited about being invited to meet with Mr. Pierre Halimi Lachorlotte at Shapur here in San Francisco.

Robert Downey Jr.’s Range Of Watches In New Iron Man Movie; Bvlgari & Hublot

I love spotting watches in movies, and there were a few of interest in Iron Man, which I saw last night. To tell you right away, the watch that Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.’s character in Iron Man) wore that received the most screen time is very new, and I could not get an image [...]

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. Sure we are all used to celebrities modeling watches, even attending watch public relations events. I even wrote about watch companies like Audemars Piguet making watches for US presidents, who then plug the brand (for [...]

Ultra Cool, Ultra Rare Seiko Spectrum E-Ink Limited Edition Concept Watch Available: A Woman’s Watch You Pretty Much Want To Wear

You don’t have to think of yourself as “pretty girl” for wanting to adorn this awesome watch. For Basel 2007, Seiko unveiled this incredible watch bracelet to show off the power of what e-ink (electronic ink) will provide to watches in the near future. The demand for the watch resulted in a limited production of [...]

Orbita Privee RX Watch Winder Review: High On Looks, Low On The Rest

Orbita is a well regarded watch winder manufacturer here in the US, as many of you know. They recently released their Privee RX single watch winder to a limited number of people for a discounted price. I was eager to get my hands on one of these luxury watch winders as I could never pay [...]

Shared Sentiment On Online Watch Sales And Manufacturer Internet Presence

While it is by no means a complete discussion of the large topic that is the internet and the watch loving/selling community, there is an excellent article on Fratell0watches.com (linked to Watch Freaks) on the topic of “Web 2.0 and horology.” The idea seems to be that watch makers (of course not all of them [...]

Marcello C. Diavolo Watch Review: Beneficent Devil In The Details

It is easy to review a watch that fits into a category. You have an established set of criteria to evaluate, and at least a few other watches in that category that you can compare and contrast with the model you review. Even concept and exotic watches lie in their own category, where you can [...]

Tourbillon Watches In A Nutshell; Expensive, Fun To Watch, Serve Little Purpose

If you know all about tourbillon watches then none of this should be surprising or new to you. If you don’t, you might have a couple of outstanding questions as to what a tourbillon is, why prestigious watch makers say you should want one, and why they are so expensive. This article is not [...]

Another Comment About Timezone.com; TZ-UK.com Sets Itself Apart

I wrote an article about the unfair and biased moderation tactics are Timezone.com because I wanted watch enthusiasts to understand how Timezone.com was being operated and managed. The aBlogtoRead.com article on Timezone.com can be viewed here. The response to the article was overwhelmingly in agreement with me, even though I actually anticipated some lash bask, [...]

Customized And Personalized Watches Made To Order At 121time.com: Cool In Concept And Execution

While there are a number of watch personalizers out there, most of them sacrifice quality for flexibility. Most of those corporate branded watches with a logo on the face, or engraving on the back are usually barely worth wearing, and novelty gifts at best. But it does not have to be that way. It is [...]

Before Making Your Next Watch Purchase, Ask The Manufacturer How The Watch Was Produced

When thinking about how our watches are made, we tend to all have an image of a little man sitting at an oddly shaped table toiling away. This man represents the dedicated craftsman that we would like to think is taking full responsibility for the quality and accuracy of our beloved timepieces. The truth however [...]

Timezone.com Forums Guilty Of Indiscriminate Banning Of Members, Censorship, And Parlaying To Advertisers; Effectively Anti-User

Timezone.com and Watchnet.com are watch information related forums now owned by popular watch and clock auction house Antiquroum. Most online watch information forums present areas of watch discussion, brand and news talk, and sales forums for buyers and sellers alike. The concept is brilliant and effective. A relatively low maintenance system providing for a rich [...]

Buying “Decoded” Watches Avoids Authorized Watch Dealer Prices; Involves Some Risk

The watch buying landscape is relatively interesting as retail industries go. Most interesting or rare watches fall within the “luxury item” group given their pricing. A distinct feature of this group involves a good deal of efforts to keep prices high. High prices don’t necessarily just mean high profits for the retailer. A psychological effect [...]

Massive Tourneau Las Vegas Flagship Watch Store

Freshly returned from my Las Vegas trip I am left with the distinct impression that high-end Las Vegas hotels are a watch lover’s dream. The plethora of watch stores, available brands, models, and timepiece enthusiasts is enough to envelop you in surreal atmosphere were rare and beautiful watches seem commonplace.
