Watch Video Rewind for August 14, 2016

Matt Himmelstein By Matt Himmelstein

I hope you are enjoying your weekend, and I would like to thank you for sharing part of it with us and checking out this edition of Watch Video Rewind, where we find watch related videos and bring them to your attention. As part of my job of scouring the internet for the weekly Watching the Web, I came across a review of Laps watches, simple timepieces with a bit of whimsy in their presentation. So I thought I would try to track down other makers that might put a smile on your face as you glance down at your wrist.

Introducing the Virata VRT1 Series

Patrick Kansa By Patrick Kansa

Somewhere along the way, I became rather drawn to interestng case shapes. Then again, that should not be all that surprising. There is plenty to like about a well-executed, classic case design, as production (and sales) numbers will attest. With the flood of watches from new brands though, how best to stand out? Prior to today’s example, the best one I can point to, in terms of standing out with a new case, was Visitor Watch Co. Well, there’s a new (patented) case out in the world, in the form of the Virata VRT1 series.

Introducing the Drawing 17 from Projects Watches

Patrick Kansa By Patrick Kansa

When it comes to watches, I am generally able to figure out how to read the time on the watch, as well as grasping at least the basics of how it is things are being indicated on the dial. With a simple three-hander, there’s not much to decipher, as it’s rather familiar. You can get into some esoteric designs and displays though, and then it gets a bit trickier. I will admit, when I first saw the images of the Drawing 17 from Projects Watches, I finally had to ask the brand to enlighten me as to how it was working.

Lighting up the night with the Luminox 1924

Patrick Kansa By Patrick Kansa

In the vast panoply of watch brands, it is inevitable that there are some brands that we simply have never covered, whatever the reason may be. Luminox is one of those brands. For me, I was always aware of them (I still remember seeing the workbench ads in Popular Mechanics), but we just never made contact. Well, that is, until recently. I had run across a particular model (as it turns, a rather old one), and went chasing things down to get some solid contacts with the brand. As it were, that watch was no longer available, but of course, there was plenty of others in the catalog to have a look at. And that, dear reader, is how we arrived at today, with my review of the Luminox 1924.

Forging ahead with the Tempest Carbon2

Patrick Kansa By Patrick Kansa

One of the absolute great things about being a watch reviewer is the number of watches that we get coming across our desks. Yeah, it can be overwhelming at times, but the sheer variety keeps things interesting. It’s even better when you start a relationship up with a brand, and you get to experience their watches changing and improving over time. It was only a year and a half ago that we got to talk about the most affordable forged carbon watch at the time, the Tempest One. Well, as you can guess with that title up above, the second gen has arrived. Read on to see what we thought of the Tempest Carbon2 in our time with it.
