Pellikaan Timing Diving Dutchman, Kickstarting it Upmarket

Matt Himmelstein By Matt Himmelstein

Most crowd funded watches I see are start-ups that are trying to get going, and they are portraying their watches as a value versus what is on the market. Sometimes, you see an established brand going the crowd funding route for something really different, like when Bathys wanted to make an atomic wristwatch. With the Pellikaan Timing Diving Dutchman, I am seeing something else, an existing higher end brand looking for a minimal commitment to get tooling going on an expensive watch.

Watch Video Rewind for November 8, 2015

Matt Himmelstein By Matt Himmelstein

Thanks for stopping by on a (hopefully) lovely Sunday for our regular feature, Watch Video Rewind. This is where we take a little time to share watch related videos we are able to track down across the interwebs. This week, it is all about MB&F. If you follow the upper stratosphere level of high end watches, you are probably aware that the MB&F Legacy Perpetual Calendar was unveiled, and, of course, our friends over at A Blog to Watch have a hands on review.

Watching the Web for November 7, 2015

Matt Himmelstein By Matt Himmelstein

Welcome to the Saturday feature we like to call Watching the Web, where we take a few moments to point out interesting watches and watch related posts that we discover across the web, and also highlight a few of our most popular posts of the last week or so. Today, I thought I would take a walk down memory lane with a very early “smart” watch, take a look at what material science can do for our wrists, and point you toward a watch with roots in both Belgium and Mexico. From our site, we have reviews of the Smith & Bradley Springfield and the Corniche 40, as well as a look at ETA movements.

The Joogii J1 is Keeping it Clean

Patrick Kansa By Patrick Kansa

As you are no doubt aware, watches on Kickstarter have become quite a thing as of late. We, through Matt’s efforts, have covered a lot of them. Lately, though, we have restricted ourselves to the more interesting products, because there are a lot of “me too” thin quartz watches cropping up. While what I am going to be talking about today is indeed a quartz three-hander, the design merits a mention. With that, let’s take a look at what the Joogii J1 has to offer.

Cobra de Calibre Crossfire, Back This Watch

Matt Himmelstein By Matt Himmelstein

Is it my fault? Am I not being clear enough when I review the Cobra de Calibre watches and say, “hey you should check this guy’s work out.” There have been a few great success stories with crowd funding where one project turned into two or three and then into a full blown brand (looking at you Lew & Huey). I can’t understand how John Lee has not yet developed a cult following that funds all his projects. Well, it isn’t too late to jump on board with his latest, the Cobra de Calibre Crossfire seeking funding on Kickstarter.

Let’s Talk About Movember

Patrick Kansa By Patrick Kansa

It’s November which means a lot of things. This year, at least for me, it also means a focus on men’s health. Let’s face it, guys – we tend to not take a close look at our health until something goes wrong. We’re especially sensitive (and put our heads in the sand) when it comes to the specific types of cancer that target dudes. To that end, the Movember Foundation is looking to make a difference.

Introducing the Benson Watch Winders Black Series

Patrick Kansa By Patrick Kansa

Even though I personally have not handled a lot of watch winders, I find them fascinating. Basically, they are a purpose-built machine that serves only to keep another very purpose-built machine (your watch) in running and ready-to-wear condition. As with all things watch-related, there are a range of prices you can find for these, with very inexpensive ones that are probably noisier than they are worth, all the way up to some massive ones that are basically a piece of furniture or a safe. Then, we have a sort of comfortable middle ground, where pricing is in the range of a good mechanical watch, with materials and motors that are worth the price. That is where, it seems, we will see the new Benson Watch Winders Black Series residing.
