The Watch Video Rewind for May 1, 2016
Welcome to a new month, and our regular Sunday feature, the Watch Video Rewind. In this series, we like to take a break from words about watches, and instead bring you videos about watches, watch making, or sometimes even music about watches. In this week’s edition, we have a couple of factory tours, and a couple of “Watch Stories” videos, which dives into the background of favorite watches of some prominent people.
Watching the Web for April 30, 2016
Welcome back to our weekly roundup of interesting watch articles from around the web, as well as what proved to be the most popular from our own pages with you, our readers. From the wide, wide, wide world of watches, we have a hands-on review of the Damasko DA38, a deep (and I mean deep) dive into the lume on the A.

Marching doubletime with the Steinhart Military 47

Their rubber “fitness” bands are unique and fun to wear and their “Milano” metal strap is great if a little flashy. I got my hands on their new nylon straps and I’m here to tell you that they got nylon right.
The McDowell Time DelRay launches with great fanfare
Today, we have a quick preview of a watch that just recently hit Kickstarter, the McDowell Time DelRay. Why a preview? Well, as it turns out, I also have one of the prototypes here on the watch review desk, so we will be able to give you a hands-on impression here very soon. In the meantime, let’s run down what the McDowell Time DelRay is offering.
Zisanzo makes a sub-$150 quartz with some classy sass
While the name Zisanzo may sound like the latest Cirque du Soleil epic it is really a watch company with a lot of class, a lot of size, and a certain urban/classic aesthetic that I can really get behind.
