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.

That’s right – the staff here at WWR is growing! Our newest writer is likely a name you’re familiar with, as he’s been submitting some great coverage of crowd-funded watches for some time now – Matt Himmelstein. Want to know a little bit more about our new teammate? Read on to check out his bio.
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.

Well, it’s the last day of the month, so that means our giveaway has drawn to a close. Want to see if you’re the winner? Well, then, read on!
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.
