Darth Watch: Cool Watch, Lawsuit Waiting To Happen

August 23rd, 2010 2 comments

Unless Storm of London official got permission to call their watch Darth, I’d be a little worried. Regardless, this is a pretty cool piece with three coo-centric circles that show the time. It comes in black, blue, chrome and white and is currently sold out at $170.00.

Review: Tissot T-Touch II

August 23rd, 2010 3 comments


The Tissot T-Touch is Tissot’s flagship sports watch. While other models have come and gone, the venerated T-Touch with its touch-sensitive crystal and bold styling has remained constant. A few models appeared to replace the original, notably the T-Touch Expert, but nothing could quite unseat it.

Now, however, Tissot is essentially mothballing the old model and is focusing on the bold T-Touch II. This new model has a larger LCD screen, better water resistance, and more style options. But it’s still the T-Touch you know and love. But, and this is important, it has a backlight! Read more…

Hamilton brings it all back home with the Railroad Evolution

August 17th, 2010 3 comments

Hamilton is well known in railroad circles as one of the watches that kept the trains running in the 20th century. Now they’ve gone back to that illustrious past with their Railroad Evolution, a big fat chrono with an auto movement.

No pricing yet, but it’s a cool move back towards traditional watchmaking values for the brand. Compared to some of the stuff they’ve been putting out, this is a breath of fresh air.

Perrelet, watch to aviators, launches a moonphase

August 10th, 2010 2 comments

I really like Perrelet. They do a good job at making understated, cool watches with a bit of fun. They’re most famous for their Turbine watches that spin when you turn them. Kind of goofy but aviators love them. Now the company is launching a Moonphase watch that looks pretty sexy.

The Frank Vila Cobra: What the Commander would wear

August 10th, 2010 2 comments

I don’t even know what to think about this. I saw these things at JCK and Fratello just reminded me of them. They basically look like crazy on the wrist.

Chad Recommends: Get thee a Rolex 1675

August 10th, 2010 1 comment

It’s a little aged, but the Rolex 1675 is now going for about three grand and it has a GMT hand, which meets my “at least one complication” law when it comes to three-handed watches. Chad could probably find you one but do some searches. Watch out for eBay, though. Those guys are punks.

In short, this is the one Rolex that gets my vote.
