Cobra de Calibre Chronograph el Grande, Another Pretty Face (and Caseback)

Matt Himmelstein By Matt Himmelstein

I first saw the Cobra de Calibre brand when the creator, John Lee, introduced his cushion cased first watch on Kickstarter. At the time, I really liked the style, but I had recently purchased something else, and didn’t have the cash. Then he brought out his bronze twin crown, which I liked a lot, but passed on because of another purchase. Now, he has a third watch on Kickstarter, the Cobra de Calibre Chronograph el Grande, and I will let you guess what is going through my head.

We see a lot of dive watches here at WWR. We even have a special category for divers, making your search on our site easier. Plus, I am a diver myself, so we enjoy writing up attractive and sensible dive watches. And that is where this retro inspired new diver comes in. The MachesterWatchWorks Tatoskok automatic is the third shot at the crowdfunding market, and I think they hit a good mix of design, features and value.

Elliot Havok Timepieces, Kickstart a Little Havoc

Hubris is an interesting thing in the watch industry. You have to have it, or else you are never going to put out a watch. It takes an ego to try and sell a product that (hopefully) lots of people will wear on a daily basis, especially in an already crowded market. But too much hubris and you come off looking silly. By the response that Elliot Havok Timepieces is having with their Kickstarter launch, they seem to have struck the right chord.

Watching the Web For January 3, 2015

Matt Himmelstein By Matt Himmelstein

Happy New Year everyone. I hope we all survived the holidays healthy, happy, and financially intact. This is the first Watching the Web post of 2015, where we here at WWR point you to interesting watch related articles at other sites, as well as highlight our more popular posts over the last week. Looking around the web, I liked the Worn&Wound review of a watch for the vision impaired, and am fascinated by the complication in the Quill&Pad write up of the Maurice Lacroix Square Wheel Cube. Looking back at our own pages, we have the Tissot T-Touch Expert Solar and the Butler Professional Series GMT, as well as a list of the 5 most popular articles we posted in 2014 .

Crowd Funding Wrap-up for 2014

Matt Himmelstein By Matt Himmelstein

The end of the year has been a pretty busy one for me in my day job, so I have not been able to track crowd funded projects as closely as I normally do, nor as closely as I like. As a result, a number of crowd funded watch projects have slipped by me. I was able to write up the Helgray Silverstone, which has monster support, The Tempest One Forged Carbon Watch, which I really like, the Astoncain, a project that still has a shot, and the Ferro one hander, the project I am most likely to back right now. So if you did not get a watch for the holidays, consider supporting one of these projects, or the projects below.
