Back in November, we brought you word of ZIIIRO’s latest model, a pocket watch that goes by the name of Titan .While that post covered things in more of a general sense, we’ve got one in for review – so let’s take a closer look, shall we?
We're big fans of Magrette here at WWR, and have written on their pieces plenty of times in the past, including some of the Regattare models. What I've not covered all that much are their engraved pieces – which, if you've not seen them, you really should check them out. In the past, however, those engraved models have seemed more like stand-alone pieces, whereas this latest release, the Kowhaiwhai, is an extension of the existing Regattare line.
With the crazy low temperatures across the U.S. today (it’s currently -14° F where I’m at, with a mess of snow), it got me to thinking about how happy (or not) our beloved watches would be outside in these temps. Sure, a digital piece wouldn’t have as many moving parts, but LCDs don’t like the cold, and an analog display might still have problems. What if you wanted a mechanical on your wrist? Then we’ve got the watch for you!
Welcome back to our weekly installment, Historical Horology. We’ve featured Rolex in these articles in the past, and for good reason – they’ve got a long and storied history, and one that’s well-documented. Their vintage pieces also hold a great deal of interest, both for novice and pro collectors. Today, we’ve got a few videos that fit neatly into that landscape.
Welcome back to our weekly installment, where we have a quick look at some interesting watches and articles that have popped up over the last week, as well as taking a second look at what some of our more popular articles this week.
Today, we’ll be taking a look at some more watches from the new brand AVI-8. In our last review on an AVI-8 piece, we covered their background, so we won’t need to rehash that here. Instead, we’ll jump right on in to the review. Well, actually, it will be three reviews in one, as we’ve got three different models from their Hawker Harrier II lineup on-hand.
Earlier this year, we brought you word (here) of the Sans-13, the first crowd-funded watch from Smith & Bradley (you can see my hands-on review of it right here). When I met with the company, they had said they were planning an automatic for the future. Well, that future has arrived, and Matt Himmelstein is giving us his thoughts on their recently-launched Kickstarter campaign.
Just as it does every year, time marches inexorably on. Of course, the start of a new year can…
We’ve gone a long time without his-n-hers reviews, and now we’ve got a pair just about back to back…
DIY watches bring up a sort of morbid curiosity in me. They’re something I love to see, as you…
