A Wooden Arrow

Matt Himmelstein By Matt Himmelstein

I am a fan of watches made from alternative materials, and have always likes wooden watches, though I have yet to pull the trigger on one myself. A new watch project on kickstarter, The Arrow Project Watch, is an easy way to jump on the wooden watch trend yourselves. The watch itself is a basic quartz three hander with date, styled like a diver. The movement is not specified, so it is pretty likely that the watch is not going to contain a name brand movement, especially not for $99 Australian Dollars ($90 US), plus shipping.

Helgray Takes to the Sky

Matt Himmelstein By Matt Himmelstein

Helgray Watches out of Montreal Canada has a fairly ambitious project, launching 4 new military themed watches on kickstarter. The watches cetainly have some common DNA across the styles, but they all use unique movements and complications. Helgray is rolling out the Field Officer, a 3 hander with date; the California, with a sub dial for seconds at 6:00; the GMT, which provides a second time zone; and the Skyfighter, a dual register chronograph with date.

Bronze is not just for 3rd Place

Matt Himmelstein By Matt Himmelstein

A new Kickstarter campaign is starting from Zelos, offering a 100M water resistant diver with a couple of unique twists. Common to the line is an internally rotating bezel, which I am seeing on a few higher end dive watches, but not in this price and feature range yet. What is most unique in a relatively inexpensive watch like this is the choice of a bronze case as an alternative to the 316 stainless that is also offered. Fitting for the materials of choice, the watch is named the Helmsman.

Smith & Bradley Atlantis Review

Patrick Kansa By Patrick Kansa

The last time I had some hands-on time with a piece from Smith & Bradley, I was taking a look at their Sans 13 model, which I was in a sense previewing before their Kickstarter campaign finished. That campaign was ultimately successful, and they’ve turned their attention in a new campaign from a quartz tactical watch to an automatic diver. Will the Atlantis project sink like the mythical city? I don’t think so, but read on to see what the watch is all about.

Looking For A Yes Man?

Patrick Kansa By Patrick Kansa

Now, in popular vernacular, being a “yes man” is not something that many of us would aspire too (if you’re not sure what this is, just envision Smithers from The Simpsons, and you’re a long way there). There’s a new Kickstarter project that just recently started up (and already hit 100% funding) that is hoping you can overcome that association.
