| May 27, 2011 | Can You Pull Off Wearing The RSW Nazca Sport Watch? | I love how a design like that of the RSW (Rama Swiss Watch) Nazca is bound to be so polarizing.

| May 25, 2011 | How Omega Uses Liquidmetal In Watches | The modern arms race with watches isn’t about gears and pinions, but rather materials.

| May 23, 2011 | Marvin Malton 160 Cushion Khaki Watch Review | Marvin is one of the most interesting brands out there that common people can afford.

| May 21, 2011 | Breitling Superocean 44 Watches | Last year Breitling came out with an entirely new Superocean watch. It featured a modern looking design in a smaller 42mm case. While a lot of people wanted a smaller Breitling diver, even more didn’t. So, just one year later, the Superocea... |

| May 12, 2011 | The Ikepod Hourglass Hands-On | I find it really ironic that an hourglass is a novel concept in the watch industry. When Marc Newson designed Ikepod released the Hourglass last year, I remember thinking “Wait. Is this the only high-end hourglass that you can get?” Yea, I ... |
| May 11, 2011 | Hublot Cathedral Minute Repeater Tourbillon & Column Wheel Chronograph Watch Hands-On | The horological highlight from Hublot this year was the long-named “Cathedral” Minute Repeater Tourbillon and Column Wheel Chronograph watch.

| May 8, 2011 | Bell & Ross BR01 Ceramic Watch | A few years ago Bell & Ross began to experiment with ceramic watches. The first real collection was the BRS, a smaller square cased model that was, to an extent, a women’s watch. It was thin and lovely and ended up on the wrists of more... |
| May 6, 2011 | Ulysse Nardin "Alexander The Great" Minute Repeater Watch With Automatons | Woaw that’s a long name for a watch! It goes back to my classic statement, the longer the name of a watch, the more the brand wishes for you to take it seriously. I supposed the reason that the name of this watch is so long is because it is... |
| May 5, 2011 | Azimuth SP-1 Landship Watch Is A Tank | When you call a watch a “tank” it can mean a few things. It can first mean a sort of square cased watch done in the style of Cartier Tank timepieces. That is not this watch. It can also mean a larger watch that is durable and can take a lot... |
| May 4, 2011 | Citizen Signature Perpetual Calendar Watch | For 2011 Citizen’s major new piece is perfect for the American market.

| Apr 30, 2011 | Oris BC3 Air Racing GMT Limited Edition Watch | The GMT version of the updated Oris BC3 comes as a limited edition done for the Oris Big Crown Sky Racing team.

| Apr 27, 2011 | Orbita Avanti 3 Winds Your Automatic Watches In Style | “Fancy.” Was pretty much the word that came to mind after finally unwrapping the Avanti 3 from US-based watch winder maker Orbita.

| Apr 25, 2011 | Bremont C17 Globemaster Watch For Military Pilots Only | Here is a nice new piece from Bremont that you can’t get – at least not now. That isn’t to say the watch isn’t ready (because it is), but rather that you need to be among a select group of “pre-selected” military personnel to get one. The p... |
| Apr 25, 2011 | Devon Tread 1 Watch Review | Scott Devon sure shook up the high-end watch world when people got word of the Tread 1. Divorced from all the “tradition” in Switzerland, this California made watch relies instead on suppliers to outfit the aerospace industry. The basic the... |
| Apr 22, 2011 | Corum Admiral’s Cup Challenger 44 Chrono Rubber Limited Edition Watches | I think Corum hit on a great idea with these limited edition Admiral’s Cup Challenger 44 watches.

| Apr 21, 2011 | Antoine Preziuso Power Inside Unlimited Watch | There is nothing really innovative about this watch aside from the new convoluted way it talks about having a power reserve indicator on the dial.

| Apr 20, 2011 | Richard Mille RM 033 Watch Hands-On | Richard Mille joins the thin watch craze in 2011 with their 6.30mm thick “Extra Flat Automatic” RM 033 watch.

| Apr 18, 2011 | Dievas Vortex Professional Watch | Dievas is following up the original Vortex with this Vortex Professional. I always liked the original Vortex. It more or less combined the best features of a dive watch with the best features of an aviator watch. For many people, this is th... |
| Apr 18, 2011 | Chopard Monaco Historique Time Attack MF Watch Review | I love this watch, but not everyone will. Some people might not get it – but the beauty is crystal clear to me.

| Apr 15, 2011 | How Piaget Watches Are Made | Up in the mountains of Switzerland watch movements are made. Down in the city of Geneva watches are borne. The contrast between the people who make the inside of watches and the outside of them is a benefit to the industry. You want watchma... |

Having thi... |
| Apr 12, 2011 | Zenith El Primero Stratos Flyback Striking 10th Watch Hands-On | In at least one award last year the Zenith Striking 10th was voted best watch of 2010. The cool character was on many people’s minds as it was a highlight of a reinvented brand. The irony of course was that as Zenith reinvented themselves a... |
| Apr 12, 2011 | Zenith El Primero Stratos Flyback Watch Hands-On | The first Zenith watch that had my heart was the Rainbow Flyback. Yes, it had a “pretty” name, but this killer chrono was made specially for the French Ministry of Defense, and was an amazing watch from the 1990s. By the way, what is it exa... |
| Apr 11, 2011 | Montrek Square Diver PVD Watch Review | Man meet man watch. This isn’t a piece your girlfriend or wife can snatch from you and strap on themselves. No sir. This watch is about as masculine as it gets – and whether or not you like how it looks it will be hard to disagree with that... |
| Apr 11, 2011 | The Gagarin Tourbillon Watch | Ironically enough I was just thinking about BLU, and what ever happened to it? The cool high-end brand did some neat stuff with dials, but I haven’t heard anything about them in at least a year or two. Well now I know. BLU’s Bernhard Ledere... |
| Apr 6, 2011 | Tissot Seastar 1000 Watch Hands-On | Everyone has been eagerly anticipating the new Seastar 1000 watch from Tissot this year. It has good looks and a large 48mm wide that is big, but not overpowering due to the shorter lugs. For those highly intimidated by the size, there is a... |

| Apr 3, 2011 | Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Ultra-Thin Watch Hands-On | Jaeger-LeCoultre’s answer to the thin watch in 2011 was with their Reverso. Many of the Richemont brands were releasing their own slim watches, and I think the Grande Reverso Ultra-Thin is one of the sleeker models. As of now it will come i... |

| Mar 30, 2011 | Romain Jerome Titanic DNA Octopus Dive Watch Hands-On | It really makes a lot of sense for there to be a real diver’s watch in the Titanic DNA collection from Romain Jerome.

| Mar 28, 2011 | Casio Edifice EQWM1100DC-1A2 Watch Review | While this watch dial in action looks like a miniature aerial view of an amusement park, something is actually going on – this isn’t all for show.

| Mar 23, 2011 | Louis Moinet Astralis Watch | New from Louis Moinet is the Astralis – a nice tourbillon based watch that is a bitch to photograph. I swear, it is as though the watch keeps saying to me “I am for private eyes” only. There are going to be only 12 of these in the limited e... |
