Steam Punky Good Time With The Secret Society Of Odd Aquisitions

The steampunk universe just keeps getting richer, and it is best when the wares are combined with stories. You’ll see well crafted good from Mr. A.R.M. delightfully presented on the SSOA website here. The nature of steampunk begs for stories to be written behind the creations.

Beautiful New Ceramic Bell & Ross BRS Watches Is New Direction For The Company

French designed Bell & Ross watches just don’t cease to impress me. This company is on a roll! I cannot wait to see where there will be in a few years. Even before they become popular with the release of the BR-01 line of watches, I was a fan. Talk about being ahead of the [...]

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.

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.

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.

I’d say that most of his art tends to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
