Introducing the Undive Dark Sea 500M Professional Diver
We cover a lot of crowd funded watches here. Many of them are kind of, been-there-done-that kind of watches, or some have little quality quirks that a new brand may have, but every now and then there is the wow watch. Undive is starting their Kickstarter campaign in August and so far from what I see,…
The Caliper Slide Watch is the perfect piece for your post-apocalyptic jaunts
When the apocalypse finally arrives, those with the booksmarts will be the upperymen. Maybe somebody you know will be the readerwriter and maybe somebody you know will learn how to make the brandywine and maybe you’ll have a bakerman among you but who will be the mather?

Axiom watches are utterly enchanting, utterly French
Bonjour, mes amis! Bibliothèque, croissant les halles? Oui oui! That’s what Axiom watches latest creations would say if they could talk.

Not unlike the sound of a date wheel snapping into a…
Bovet embraces the 365.25-day year, the Pope be damned
Most of the world is happy to accept the Gregorian calendar and the need for leap years—but the Bovet Récital 20 Astérium is having none of that. Since the Earth actually spins around the Sun once every 365 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes and 9.77 seconds (or 365.25 days) the calendar needs to catch up to the…
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…
