Details. So much of what we find appealing about watches goes beyond the case dimensions, the movement, the crystal, bracelet or strap and into the details of the watch. It is the details that matter to watch lovers, things like the hands, lume color, depth of the dial vs. …

Seiko Moving Design Discus Watch Is Beautiful, Basic, And Mechanical

aBlogtoWatch | 6. Jan 2009 19:00 |

I am on a roll talking about all these cool watches from Seiko (and Citizen) that Japan gets, but we don't. If you've been to Japan, you know that they have a ton more watch stores than we do,  and such stores are often combined with other items such as electronic gadgetry. …

Wristwatch News, Reviews, & … | 6. Jan 2009 17:10 |

aBlogtoWatch | 6. Jan 2009 10:46 |
