So, how many of you pay attention to those banner ads that you see on various watch blogs and forums? Aside from WWR, that is, of course! Well, if you have, you will likely find this company at least somewhat familiar – Molarity Watch Group. I found the styling intriguing, so I contacted the company, they were willing to send along a sample of their Vintage model. So, not too surprisingly, that’s what we’ll have a look at today.

It’s time for us to have another hands-on review of a Timex piece, once again from their Intelligent Quartz line. As you can tell from the post title, this particular watch was quite the title (and set of functionality). Let’s have a look at what sets this one apart, shall we?

If you’ve been reading my posts for some time, you’ll remember that I’ve looked at watches that feature a variety of different materials in their construction. Today, we’re going to have a look at Sprout Watches, who actually manufacture their cases from a corn resin. This makes for a very lightweight watch that, should the need arise, is biodegradable as well.

At least, a roulette wheel is what comes to my mind when I look at this watch. Of course, there’s no mention of gambling in it’s official name, the Military Classic. It has a distinct aviator-inspired feel, and looks to offer the great combination of style, reliability and affordability that Timex has been offering as of late.

I have an apology to make, gentle reader. When Stolas first announced the availability of their Ball Call model for pre-order, I had fully intended to bring it to your attention. Of course, that was right at the end of the year, so things got a little hectic, memory got fuzzy, and it slipped my mind. Today, however, is a different day – so lets right that wrong, and see what Stolas is bringing to the table!

Alright, gang, time for another watch from the “fashion” segment. When I found today’s watch, I had to do some digging to figure out what this Alessi company was about. It seems to be that they’re really a design house / collective, and produce all manner of goods under their umbrella. Lucky for us, part of that includes a watch line, of which I found one that has some rather interesting styling.
