Watching time swing with the Fromanteel Pendulum Dark
Ah, the Special Dark. AKA, the last flavor I ever would eat in a bag of Hershey’s miniatures, at least as a kid. These days, my tastes have changed. And not just in chocolate – watch tastes will form, change, and reform over time. While I certainly have been a fan of dress watches, I’ve…
A Matter of Time is modularizing your watch
We wanted to cover off on a new watch that just hit Kickstarter, from a new brand called A Matter of Time (AMOT).

In fact, that’s what a lot of the crowd-funded watches try to position themselves as. However, with Frederique Constant, my experience has been that the products usually match to the marketing hype. Today, we’re taking a look at the first GMT from the brand that I’ve had cross my desk, the Frederique Constant Runabout GMT.
Looking for a Lum-Tec and feeling charitable?
Lum-Tec is, in all likelihood, a brand that really needs no introduction to our readers. Their own watches have no shortage of popularity, and the Ohio-based company has been assembling quite a few of your favorite micro brands over the last few years. Just recently, we received word of something CGA (also known for the…
