Patek Philippe Watches Offer Great “Pick Up Line” In New Ad Campaign
Given the status that Patek Philippe holds in the watch community, I can safely hold them to a very high standard - even in their marketing. Starting in August of 2010, Patek Philippe will roll out a new advertising campaign for its womens watches. Watch advertising is …

The Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve is the Swiss watch making industry's award night (though not all the nominees are Swiss brands) celebrating and awarding the previous year's most interesting watches in a few categories. The awards are slanted to high-end timepieces, …
IWC: The Book, The Manufacture
I did a survey on Luxist within the last year that was a survey of the “best” luxury watch brands according to the site’s readers who participated in the poll. I had to choose five brands, and among those was IWC. With a strong, focused product line, and an emphasis on …

LUM-TEC lovers rejoice, this month you have a chance to win one of LUM-TEC's very popular Combat B series watches. This is the limited edition B15 Chronograph, with a 43mm wide bead-blasted steel case and a real carbon fiber dial. A pilot watch at heart, it comes with a …
View Cartier Manufacture Movement Watches In America
I had Cartier make this image for me because it was the best possible visual for the event. With Cartier getting really serious about amazing in-house made movements and complications they are sending a set of the watches on the road in the good 'ol US of A for us to see. …
Corum Admiral’s Cup Deep Hull 48 Limited Edition Watch
It is big and it goes down pretty deep. It is also the first real diver's watch from Corum that I can think of (aside from a few dive style Corum Bubble watches). This is the new for 2010 Admiral's Cup Deep Hull 48 watch from Corum, and it is rather interesting, though I …
Storm Caspa Watch Review
Given the types of watches I frequently write about on aBlogtoRead, you might think me the type who is able to afford many of these timepieces. That isn't true - it may be that I just do all this to get access to stuff I wouldn't otherwise be able to afford. So for those of …
Last Chance To Enter And Win The Pulsar Automatic Watch
I think there has been some misunderstanding. A surprisingly low number of people entered to win the Puslar Men's Automatic watch. This really cool dress watch that has Pulsar made automatic movement, and is a nice 45mm wide in size. Pulsar is a Seiko group owned brand, and …
Rolex Daytona Meteorite Dial Watch Available On James List
I am always torn about writing about Rolex watches - because frankly, they don't need the press. While I'd be happy wearing any number of Rolex watches (although I feel most of them are too small these days), there are a few interesting models that standout to me that don't …
Panerai Says “FU” With Limited Edition PAM336 Watch For China
Probably good that Panerai doesn't sell an "FU" watch in the western world as we are probably going to take it as a signal of their amusement that we are putting up with their prices. No, Panerai doesn't even care too much about the English speaking world for the time …
RSW Outland 3H Watch Hands-On Review
RSW is a brand I very much like. What makes me like it more is that most people (even hardcore watch lovers) in the US have never heard of it. It isn't that RSW isn't distributed in the US, just that it isn't distributed that much. RSW stands for "Rama Swiss Watch." I have …
Rolex Submariner & Daytona Black & Gold Modified Watches
I am taking credit for these watches. I met with Time & Gems a while ago when seeing their progress with DLC and PVD treatments on Rolex watch modifications, and suggested that they give a two tone "Rolesor" watch this type of treatment. Black and gold is a very nice combo, …
Franck Muller Conquistador Grand Prix Tourbillon Watch
It is pretty wild, and sort of ridiculous at the same time. Franck Muller pushes itself into the realm of luxury sport watch aesthetics. In a way, it feels like what Audemars Piguet did with the Royal Oak Offshore, only here with Franck Muller. This is the tourbillon …
HourTime Show Watch Podcast Episode 35
Up for grabs is the last available piece in a 30 watch limited edition from Blancpain. The 1735 Grande Complication only costs a tad over a million bucks. We also discuss the new Bathys Bomb Timer, Audemars Piguet, classic watch making, and more. Listen to HourTime show …
Greubel Forsey Tourbillon 24 Secondes Watch For 2010
In platinum, the watch case and dial of this Greubel Forsey Tourbillon 24 Secondes (yes, spelled like that) watch feel as though they were milled from a solid piece of the precious metal. There is so much platinum in this watch - it boggles the mind. Actually, the the dial, …
Hamilton Khaki Pilot 46mm Automatic Watch
[Ed. note - since I've seen Hamilton screw up designs before, I look closely at each new release to make sure they look 'proper.' This one is interesting, and actually feels retro in a fresh way. You'll have to love large applied metal numerals - and I sense the polish on …
IWC Big Pilot Limited Edition Perpetual Calendar Watch
Big Pilot + Perpetual Calendar watch? Yes please! I personally think it is great. IWC did a good job with this orange and black beauty. But a limited edition only? Well, maybe we will see more of them in the future. Actually we have seen a lot of IWC watches in limited …
Spyker Car Watches Hands-On
Very close to production, I get some hands on time with the new Spyker watch collection made specially for Spyker by Expressions d'Artistes International. I first covered the Spyker watch collection here. What will change for production are the watch hands, that will end up …
Maurice de Mauriac Chronograph Modern Watch Review
There are different ways to buy a watch. You can order one online, or visit a store in town to get one. You can travel to a far off city to visit a rare brand boutique to see their luxury goods. Sometimes people work with other watch collectors to buy and sell coveted items …
Azimuth Xtreme-1 Collection Watches
I really like a lot of what Azimuth does (even though some of it is really weird), and their functional pieces are pretty great as well - including these watches here. But most of the new Xtreme-1 collection watch have the name of "Sea Hum." Who OKed that name? It sounds …
Formex A780 Watches For 2010
For 2010 Formex offers two versions of its new A780 watch collection. All are 45mm wide in interesting cases and come in a three-hand automatic version, as well as a quartz chronograph model. I have been a fan of Formex watches for a while - enjoying their "pure" feeling …

An interesting regional perspective on fake watch ownership, follow up on Pebble Beach and Parmigiani, and John get's keen on liquid metal - and I invent the "Omega Liquid Ocean Watch." Listen to HourTime Show watch podcast episode 34 here. Written by Mr. Ariel Adams - …
Gronefeld One Hertz 1912 Dead-Beat Seconds Watch
Tick tick tick... makes you think of a quartz watch right? WRONG! Well, at least in this case. This fancy little Dutchman is a dead-beat watch. No that the type of dead-beat that won't pay child support, but rather a mechanical watch with a ticking seconds hand. The hell …
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Watch
Please enjoy the original article below by Meehna Goldsmith - a watch matchmaker. She calls Los Angeles home but travels the world spreading the horologic gospel and finding people their perfect watch match. She contributes to publications such as the Financial Times, …
Hermes Clipper Automatic Chronograph Watch For 2010
As a man, my favorite collection of watches from Hermes has always been the Clipper. It has evolved a bit over the years, but has always been a very tasteful sport watches from a well-regarded luxury brand. I've always been drawn to Clipper watches not because of the Hermes …
Bathys Bomb Timer Watch Hands-On
This is a working prototype of Bathys' upcoming Bomb Timer watch - and it is very cool. I want to make two things clear from the start. First, as I said, this is a prototype, and will undergo a few changes before production. This includes aspects of the case, dial, and …

Interview with the watch maker from Parmigiani discussing the unveiling of the new Parmigiani Bugatti Super Sport watch. Also talking about the upcoming Bvlgari Diagono X-Pro watch, and also the highly customizable Maurice de Mauriac Moon Chronograph. Listen to HourTime …
Cadence Oarsman Hammer Watch Review
Even though I have no real rowing experience to speak of (save for a few times on a kayak), I am drawn to the simple, value-laden Cadence Oarsman watches. In fact, according to the brand themselves, the watches aren't just for rowers, but people who enjoy the theme, and the …
Tag Heuer Aquaracer 500M Automatic Chronograph Watch Hands-On
We all knew it was coming. First there was the new Aquaracer (called the Aquaracer 500M because it didn't actually totally replace the more basic Aquaracer) and now there is the chronograph version. It looks pretty rad actually. Feeling very similar to a dive version of the …
Parmigiani Bugatti Super Sport Watch Hands-On Exclusive
Just launched is this brand new Bugatti...watch and car. The car I will cover briefly, and the watch is the newest timepiece made and developed by Parmigiani to continue the Swiss luxury watch brand's relationship with the ultra-high end car maker. The watch is called the …
