Darth Watch: Cool Watch, Lawsuit Waiting To Happen
Unless Storm of London official got permission to call their watch Darth, I’d be a little worried. Regardless, this is a pretty cool piece with three coo-centric circles that show the time. It comes in black, blue, chrome and white and is currently sold out at $170.00. It …
Review: Tissot T-Touch II

Perrelet, watch to aviators, launches a moonphase
I really like Perrelet. They do a good job at making understated, cool watches with a bit of fun. They’re most famous for their Turbine watches that spin when you turn them. Kind of goofy but aviators love them. Now the company is launching a Moonphase watch that looks …
Chad Recommends: Get thee a Rolex 1675
It’s a little aged, but the Rolex 1675 is now going for about three grand and it has a GMT hand, which meets my “at least one complication” law when it comes to three-handed watches. Chad could probably find you one but do some searches. Watch out for eBay, though. Those …
The Frank Vila Cobra: What the Commander would wear
I don’t even know what to think about this. I saw these things at JCK and Fratello just reminded me of them. They basically look like crazy on the wrist. Designed for racing, they’re made of carbon fiber, PVD steel, and snake venom. They’re going to cost $28K. $28K. That’s …
My brush with the good life: Wearing a $77,000 watch
In the literature of watch geekdom we often bump up against watches that cost well into the six figures, some even in the seven. I take a populist stance on the purchase of watches and encourage the intelligent watch collector to purchase what they can afford or, better …

Casio’s new giant G-Shock may be right for football players, you
In order to grab the coveted Dudes-Who-Look-Like-Turtle-from-Entourage market, Casio is launching a bigger G-Shock, a massive, wristband-like addition to the G-Shock line that is, in Casio’s own words, designed for “sports players like basketball players.” While many of you …
Be still my heart! Victorinox releasing a Valjoux chrono!
I’ve always wanted a mechanical Swiss Army watch. It’s been a private dream of mine, stuck somewhere between the jet-pack and dating Milla Jovovich. I know that Victorinox once made mechanicals but now they’re making them again, and I couldn’t be happier. There are two …
Sorry
Sorry I’ve been lax with updating. I’m working on the third draft of my book and have been travelling far too much this summer. I hope to have some updates in the coming days and if anyone wants to help out, I could sure use it. Drop me a line at john at wristwatchreview.com.
The Top 10 Swatch Watches
In honor of the passing of Nicolas Hayek, CEO of the Swatch Group, we decided to wax a little nostalgic about his most breathtaking – and lucrative – product: the Swatch watch. Swatch was the brainchild of Elmar Mock and Jacques Müller who were attempting to make the …
Hamilton Adds Small Seconds to Beautiful Slim Collection
Hamilton has a very specific price range. This comes from being part of the crowded Swatch Group. Hamilton watches must fit in a price category just bellow Longines, but above Tissot. This has had the positive effect of the brand being positioned very strongly at the entry …

Hands on with the Ulysse Nardin Chariman
How much would you pay for an Android phone? $99? $199? Maybe $299 with contract? How about $50,000. As you recall, the Ulysse Nardin Chairman is a freaking $50,000 phone. It’s only in beta right now, but it will run Android 2.1 and come in multiple styles including a model …

Review: Marvin M103 Chronograph
There are a few classic watch styles. There’s the GMT and there’s the three register chrono. But one of my favorites is the day/date chrono powered by the Swiss ETA Valjoux 7750. That’s the movement that powers the Marvin M103 and, at about $1,790 with a favorable exchange …
Is this your new iWatch?
Wouldn’t it be great if this thing were real? You could do all kinds of great stuff on your iWatch like slide to unlock and tell the time. Presumably apps would be a pretty limited – 2 inches by 1 inch won’t be a good battleground for Plants vs. Zombies – but a girl can [...]
