While a vast majority of the watches I’ve own or reviewed feature a dial that color, I do find myself drawn now and again to watches with bright white dials, especially as the weather turns warmer.
Like a record, baby! Well, sure, all watches feature spinning in some manner, with the hands and subdials and whatnot. However, this particular model has something a bit different for you to tuck under your sleeve.
What do you mean, you haven’t heard of RESCO? Well, we’ll cover the company in a short minute. We’ve learned that they’ve got some second generation models coming to market, and if you jump in on the pre-order, you’ll get a nice 15% discount.
If you’re aware of Prometheus (or have read our review), you probably have them firmly fixed in your mind as a dive watch company. And to be sure, that’s what their offerings have been, to date. However, they’ve actually got a new style on the horizon, something a good bit dressier.
Well, it’s been finalized. We’ll be running our first ever joint WristWatchReview/ABlogToRead/Hourtime meet-up in New York City on May 2 at 6pm. We’ll hold it at Heartland Brewery on Union Square, probably in the upstairs dining area. Sadly this will be a cash bar but we’ll get a few plates of munchies for us all to share.
Please pop over here to give us a headcount and we look forward to seeing you next week!

Ariel and I are planning something special for you all on May 2. In conjunction with his Horology series, we’ll be taking over a nice space in New York for a night. If you’re interested in attending, drop me a line at john@wristwatchreview.com with the subject “NYC MEETUP” and we’ll put you on the list.
We’re really looking forward to this first chance to sit down with you all and shoot the horology shiz.
Invariably, as warmer weather is coming upon us, many will turn their thoughts to hitting the open road on two wheels. For those who just can’t (or won’t) ride, or have sold their bikes (like me), then Orient may have another way for you to get a motorcycle in your life.
Well, you asked us to look at more perpetual calendar watches, so here we are again. This isn’t one we’ve actually gotten from Timex for a hands-on review, but it’s still worth a look.
Sure, sure, there are watches that have gone to space, and have a well-known following. But what about a watch that actually communicates with space?
Well, how would you accomplish that particular feat, you might ask? A watch with an alarm is a good start, right? And, you know me, I’m intrigued by mechanical watches that have an alarm complication, so here we go again.
Well, then, good ol’ Roamer of Switzerland may have an option for you. Of course, now I have “Roam If You Want To” playing in my head, but that’s a separate issue. Back to the watch!
Sure, it may not be as thin as some of the offerings from Hamilton, but this Tissot is a sharp-looking piece, isn’t it?
I came across this new watch from Triwa that was the result of a collaboration with the Herr Judit shop in Stockholm. Let’s take a closer look and see how those vintage cues play out, shall we?
If you watch just one thing today, I recommend that it be this video:
