Cvstos is a small, relatively new high end Swiss boutique watchmaker which has zoomed out of the gate, making several very highly detailed designs over their 5 year history. Several of the watches are housed in very elaborate tonneau style cases, as it is utilized for the brand new Gustave Eiffel design. The latticework on the case and the symmetrical archways made this watch instantly recognizable as an homage to Paris’ Eiffel Tower, Gustave Eiffel’s most well known design.
It’s a new month, which means it’s time for us to get a new giveaway rolling. Remember our review of the AVI-8 Hawker Harrier II watches from back in January? Well, today is your chance to win the chronograph variant, aka the AV-4001-04. Read on for how to enter.
When it comes to the history of watchmaking, one of the most popular (and complex) complications that have come to be seems to be, time and again, the chronograph. While I myself seem to be personally moving away from an interest in chronographs, I certainly understand the appeal, and still believe it to be an amazing feat of engineering with the accuracy we’re able to get to these days. If you’d like to learn some more about the chronograph, and things like how it came to be, and how to use one, read right on.
Welcome back to our weekly installment, where we have a quick look at some interesting watches and articles that have popped up over the last week, as well as taking a second look at what some of our more popular articles this week were. Today, we’ve got a great meteorite-dialed watch, an upcoming release from Devon, plus, as always, a pointer to some of our more popular articles from the last week.
Let’s keep the smart watch ball rolling, shall we? Yesterday we saw a smart watch merged with an analog quartz piece, and today we’ve got the same – albeit one with a much smaller display. As a matter of fact, this isn’t the first time we’ve taken a look at Martian – you can see our review of their first entry right here. Their latest, though, has a much more refined look, and has a notification trick up your sleeve.
Love ’em or leave ’em, the smart watch category is one that is certainly not one that is going to be going away any time soon. While many of the devices that have been coming out as of late really do seem to be miniature versions of your phone (sometimes literally, as seen here LINK). There is another type of watch in this genre, however, that skews more to the traditional end of things, and that’s what we have here from Cogito.
If you are in the market for a nice looking, sporty and inexpensive watch, the Rebel on…
Time and again, dive watches have proven to be one of the most popular design styles – and it’s not an allure I’m immune to. While I myself don’t go diving, there’s just something about having a watch that’s built to withstand those pressures (and the design language that comes along with it) that has an appeal. While many of the options on the market today are impressive (and massive) pieces, Boschett’s latest has gone in an different direction, creating one of the more compact modern divers I’ve spent time with.
When it comes to political figures, it’s always interesting to figure out what exactly they’re wearing in a particular photograph. As of late, there have been some brands that are officially endorsed as being “the” president’s watch (as evidenced by this Jorg Gray). But what if you wanted to go back further, and see what, say, George Washington tracked the time with?
Welcome back to our weekly installment, where we have a quick look at some interesting watches and articles that have popped up over the last week, as well as taking a second look at what some of our more popular articles this week were. In this edition, we’ll take a look at an affordable vintage diver, some wacky watch-related art, and then a few of our own articles from the recent past.
