Welcome back to our regular feature, the Watch Video Rewind. In this series, we bring to light a video or two that has proven interesting, and think were worth sharing out with our readers.
It is the penultimate Saturday of 2014, so it is out next to last 2014 edition of…
It seems to be that I am drawn in by classic designs, especially when they are well-executed in more compact packages. If you find yourself in the same boat, then the Archimede 1950’s is one you will want to sit up and take notice of.
How do you create a brand identity in an industry as large and as old as watchmaking? Many brands have a go-to handset, some rely on logos, and yet others will use styling cues that carry over watch to watch. CT Scuderia is in that last camp, but they go further in their commitment that many others, with every watch in the line a bullhead style (though they do invert it for the Dashboard). The company was nice enough to lend me a second watch for a hands on review, the CT Scuderia Scrambler. The quartz chronograph is well made and pretty unique in the current marketplace.
Astoncain 01How do you set yourself apart from the other watch brands on Kickstarter? There is only so low you can go on price, and the features you offer are all tied to a cost.

The watch in question is the Vincero Verde, named as it is for the green Italian marble utilized on the watch.

The Moray has been prime evidence of this, having been made available in 47mm and 44mm variants. Now, for those of us looking for something a bit more compact, the Benarus Moray is now available – in the 42mm that we have seen in the past, as well as a 40mm variant.

Welcome back to our weekly installment, Watching the Web. In this series, we cover interesting articles from the previous week, and highlight some popular posts from our own pages.
We have had a few different posts as of late on discounts, but that all slowed down quite a bit after the whole Black Friday / Cyber Monday stuff was over. Fortunately for you, we do have a few more watch deals available for you.
