Here’s a geeky watch that won’t destroy your budget. Cadence teamed up with designer John Flear to produce the 4-BIt watch. The geek angle? All of the time indications are shown in 4-bit binary language instead of arabic or roman numerals.

Cadence Watches is another American watch company, however this one is a little different. Cadence recently ran a design content for the Philidephia area, looking for concepts to be used in their next wristwatch model. The winner of that contest was Josh Chadwick, a graphic designer who came up with the “Gentleman’s Digital Analog timepiece.”
So you don’t have $7000 to drop on a wristwatch, but you still want to look stylish when you check the time. Perrelet recently released an iPhone/iPad app that simulates the look of their Double Rotor design. It’s available in a men or women’s version, and also works as a tasteful desk clock. Sure beats the generic “flip clock” look.
Mr. Jones watches are unique in many ways; they are produced by a small design studio, there are generally limited quantities available, but they are pretty much inevitably cool. Normally, they are also easy to read, but that doesn’t seem to be the case with the Cyclops Special Edition.

Casio has teamed up with designers Vanessa and Angela Simmons to produce a special edition Baby-G. Pastry has applied their unique design style to this hot pink version of the oh so popular Baby-G line, combining hot pink with a durable timepiece. It may not be for everyone, but it’ll certainly grab your attention. The bad news is, this isn’t going to be available to everyone, but it will be handed out by Pastry to VIPs and fashionistas.
Debaufre announced their latest today, the GMT Nav-B. The Nav-B is an ETA 2893 sitting in a 44mm stainless steel case, covered with sapphire glass. Not a bad looking timepiece, and if you hurry, the first 10 orders will get a presentation box and a leather strap.

Timex launched a new GPS watch recently, and while it’s intended for athletes who require more exact data when training, the new Ironman Global Trainer uses some pretty high end GPS technology in order to accurately track pace, distance, and heart rate.

Bathys sent out their Christmas letter the other day, and included a sneak peek at their newest project, the Bomb Timer. Designed as an homage to the timers used in WWII era bombers, the Bomb Timer is quite the timepiece.

So this is pretty cool. It’s an LED watch with a touch screen for changing the modes. I’m probably going to do up a proper review next week, but here’s a quick look for you to whet the appetite.
Seiko’s coveted Spring Drive movement has previously only been available in Japan, however the new Ananta line will be released in the U.S. this November.
Bruguet announced their latest addition to the Marine line, the Royale 2009. Based on an original design from 1815, the Royale is a tourbillon equipped chronograph.
What Russian economy collapse? Apparently, despite the fact the people in Russia are starving and with out heat during the winters, government officials still find the funds to buy the little things that make life easier. Like $240,000 Patek Phillipe wristwatches. Everyone snickered a little bit over the Jorg Gray worn by President Obama, but these Russians really know their time pieces.
We’d like to say congratulations to our winner “Grad School Mommy”. We’ve forwarded your information on to the Orient Watch company representative, and he should be getting in touch with you.
Casio just rolled out two new Baby-G watches, and this time they added a little bling to make your wrist sparkle. While I like the G-Force line, I have to admit I’m not a huge fan of the ‘bling’ factor. My wife tells me that she likes them, so there ya go.
