Welcome back to our weekly roundup of interesting watch articles from around the web, as well as what proved to be the most popular from our own pages with you, our readers. From the wide, wide, wide world of watches, we have a hands-on review of the Damasko DA38, a deep (and I mean deep) dive into the lume on the A. Lange & Söhne Grande Lange 1 Moonphase Lumen , and a discussion on watch quality standards. From our own pages, we have…
You know who we haven’t talked about in quite a while? Germany-based Steinhart, that’s who! They just recently announced the Steinhart Military 47, which ticks off a lot of the checkboxes you might be considering for a vintage-style military watch.
Techne Goshawk Automatic 411.1 is a cockpit clock put on a wrist for under $500.
As an occasional Apple Watch wearer (I wear it two or three days a week when the mood hits me) I’ve found one thing to be true: Apple knows how to make bands. Their rubber “fitness” bands are unique and fun to wear and their “Milano” metal strap is great if a little flashy. I got my hands on their new nylon straps and I’m here to tell you that they got nylon right.
Today, we have a quick preview of a watch that just recently hit Kickstarter, the McDowell Time DelRay. Why a preview? Well, as it turns out, I also have one of the prototypes here on the watch review desk, so we will be able to give you a hands-on impression here very soon. In the meantime, let’s run down what the McDowell Time DelRay is offering.
While the name Zisanzo may sound like the latest Cirque du Soleil epic it is really a watch company with a lot of class, a lot of size, and a certain urban/classic aesthetic that I can really get behind.
The $107 Nova that I wore had a 43mm case made of coated stainless steel and a Miyota VJ21C movement. For such a bargain price you’re getting a huge watch with nice styling – I like the arrow hands and Roman numerals – and a nice strap.
After what seemed to be a drought of interesting watch-related projects on the crowdfunding sites, we have been seeing a flood of more interesting things cropping up. Xeric (which the guys from Watchismo started up) has been creating watch designs that break from normal conventions, keeping in line with the quirky and interesting designs that they offer on their site. Their latest designs, in the form of the Xeric Soloscope collection, mix in some elements of previous models and bring some new things to the table.
Back in July 2015, we brought you word of a new line of watches from moVas, the Bronze Officer GMT. I was intrigued by the case shape, and was ensured by the brand that it would be showing up in other designs. Well, that day has come, as the brand just announced a rather beautiful addition to the line, the moVas Officer Blue.
Welcome to our regular Sunday feature, Watch Video Rewind, where we here at WWR highlight interesting videos we track down from across the web. This week, I thought I would put up a few interviews with the watchmakers, so we can see a little of the thinking that goes into how a brand makes or markets a watch.
Thank you for stopping by to check out this week’s edition of Watching the Web, where we get to point you to a few articles on other sites about interesting watches and watch news, and we get to highlight our own top posts. This week, I have a look at the Ressence Diver, a Cartier skeleton, and an affordable vintage diver from Spinnaker. From our own site, we have a Swedish dress diver, an upgraded Casio Trekking watch, and the Gavox Avidiver.
