Welcome to Watch Video Rewind, our weekly look at watch related videos we track down from various corners of the Internet (mainly YouTube, but still…). Today I’ve got a brand video, a women’s watch collection, and a manufacturing video covering sapphire crystals.
Welcome to 2016, and thanks for taking the time out of your New Year’s Weekend to visit the first 2016 installment of our Saturday feature, Watching the Web. Here, we identify reviews and watch related posts on other sites that we think are of interest, and we point you to our most popular recent articles. From the larger blog-o-sphere, I will point you to a couple of different year in review posts at Worn & Wound, Hodinkee, and Total Watch. From our site, we have Patrick’s top 5 watches from 2015 and review of the Haldor Abissi and the Laco Spirit of St. Louis.
Here we are, at the very last Saturday of 2015. We like to run like clockwork, and even though the calendar is wrapping up, we will keep on trucking. That means it’s time for our weekly feature, Watching the Web, where we point you to interesting posts we find on other sites, as well as highlight our own popular articles. The week, from across the web, I have three different reviews of Longines, Frederique Constant, and Lum-Tec. From our own site, we’ve got two divers and a pilots watch that has some diving aspirations.
As always, thank you for taking the time to join us for our weekly feature, Watching the Web, where we point you to interesting posts we find on other sites, as well as highlight our own popular articles. The week, from across the web, I have reviews of Nomos and Ressence watches, and a short round up of independent watchmakers. From our own site, seeing how this is the penultimate weekend of the year, I would highlight our most popular posts for the last 12 months.
I don’t know when blue dials went from being a relative rarity to being very popular, but I am not complaining. Maybe we should be wondering why blue dials were never as well represented as they are now. Regardless, the Steinhart Marine Officer Blue is another watch option if you like the blue dial, and it represents a pretty decent bargain to boot.
Connected watches are being introduced all the time, and they are getting to look more like analog watches, with all sorts of available data display options. Well, What Watch wants to take a different tack with their connected device. The watch, is, well a watch. A quartz three hander… with a little red button. And the little red button is where the watch wants to differentiate itself. Instead of activating a chonograph function, it set a time bookmark, allowing you to record the exact moment when “something” happened. you decide what that something is.
There are a couple of American brands that we have been able to forge relationships with here at WWR, and I am proud to say that Detroit Watch Company is one of those. This is the second of their watches I have been able to check out in person, the first being the 1701. Let’s just say I liked that watch, so I had high hopes for the Detroit Watch Co M1 Woodward. At least for me, they are now 2-0 (can’t say the Lions are doing that well, sorry Patrick).
Thanks for stopping by on a (hopefully) lovely Sunday for our regular feature, Watch Video Rewind. This is where we take a little time to share watch related videos we are able to track down across the interwebs. This week, we have a discussion on the differences between a tourbillon and carrousel, a very old-school skeletonized pocket watch, and a pair of musical watches from Breguet.
Welcome to the Saturday feature we like to call Watching the Web, where we take a few moments to point out interesting watches and watch related posts that we discover across the web, and also highlight a few of our most popular posts of the last week or so. Today, we will go over the new Tag Heuer Smart Watch, an editorial on the international chronometry competition, and a revived luxury watch brand. From our own pages, we have the Smith & Bradley Springfield, Carnot Riviera, and the Cobra de Calibre Crossfire. On with the show!
Welcome to the Saturday feature we like to call Watching the Web, where we take a few moments to point out interesting watches and watch related posts that we discover across the web, and also highlight a few of our most popular posts of the last week or so. Today, I thought I would take a walk down memory lane with a very early “smart” watch, take a look at what material science can do for our wrists, and point you toward a watch with roots in both Belgium and Mexico. From our site, we have reviews of the Smith & Bradley Springfield and the Corniche 40, as well as a look at ETA movements.
