If you recall, we first brought the Kisai Optical Illusion to your attention back in January. In the intervening time, TokyoFlash was kind enough to send us a sample for review, so today we’ll take a look at what this watch offers.
For those of you wondering about pricing on the Locman watch that we showed you over the weekend, I have answers!
Today, we’ll have a look at a diving watch from a brand that you may not be that familiar with – but if you’re active on watch forums, you’ve likely seen. Tauchmeister (German for Dive Master) appears to be a relatively new brand (I can’t find any information on their website touting a heritage), and definitely have a specific design niche in mind.
Loc-who? If you’re like me, Locman is not a company you’ve heard of (at least until you read this post). I caught wind of a new model they have, and was intrigued. Just to get you situated, Locman was actually founded in Italy in 1986, and started life creating watches for other brands. In 1997, they decided to make watches under their own name. Which brings us to today’s example, the Montecristo Professional Diver.
If you’re like me, when you hear the name Epson, you’re more likely to think of something like your old printer, not a watch, right? Well, guess what, weary cubicle dweller? Epson wants you to get fit now! They’ve just introduced a GPS-enabled digital watch that Read more…
Wait a minute, wait a minute. Isn’t this supposed to be Wrist Watch Review? Well, yes, it still is. However, if you dig into the history of wristwatches, you’ll find that they actually came from pocket watches. As a matter of fact, some of the first wrist watches were simply pocket watches with lugs soldered on so a strap could be attached. So, with that, let’s have a look at this ultra-modern pocket watch.
Yesterday, we started to take a look at one of the best look Timex models I’ve had the pleasure to review – the T Series Racing Chronograph. Today, we’ll finish up the review, and I’ll give you my final recommendation.
Welcome to the HourTime show, the best 30 minute (+/-) hour podcast on the web.
In this weeks episode we discuss the:
We would also ask that if you have any questions or comments on the new look/availability/sound/flavor/feel/taste or smell of the podcast, to let us know. Because we all know ‘Knowing is 1/2 the battle’.

Today, friends, we’re going to have a look at one of the best (if not the best) looking watches from Timex that I’d have the pleasure to review. The model in question is the T Series Racing Chronograph, and our particular review sample one of four different color combinations available.
Thank heavens: finally a Tokyoflash that you can read immediately without depending on a manual or detailed instructions. The Stencil is a fan design that uses for LCD blocks to display the current time and date in a very “bubble letter” sort of way.

The watch looks surprisingly big and comes in multiple colors and styles, including a hot mirrored LCD design that adds a little bling to what would be considered standard digital watch. The watch is available now for $99.
I’ll be among the first to admit that many of the TokyoFlash designs have a bit of a learning curve when it comes to reading them, including a few we’ve got upcoming for review (whoops, did I forget the spoiler alert?). Today, that’s changed with the introduction of their Stencil model.
Yesterday, we started taking a look at the SparrowHawk II from Techné. As mentioned, this is a chrono watch, and that’s where the uniqueness of the model comes in. While the major functions of the watch are quartz-driven, the chrono function is driven by a portion of the movement that’s actually mechanical. Read more…
So this is what watchmaker Thomas Prescher is bringing to the big watch show at Basel. “Really?” you ask. Yeah, really.
Also check out the description for some more fun.
Ok, let’s have a break from the perpertual calendars for a bit, now, shall we? Today’s watch offers up a great mix of form and function, and goes by the name of SparrowHawk II.
