The Gavox Legacy Review
The last time we covered Gavox, we were looking at watches that very much fit the military / aviation theme. Today, Gavox is back on our pages with a watch that takes things in quite a different direction. While I won’t go so far as to call it a dress watch, it is indeed a more refined-feeling piece.
Looking For A Yes Man?
Now, in popular vernacular, being a “yes man” is not something that many of us would aspire too (if you’re not sure what this is, just envision Smithers from The Simpsons, and you’re a long way there). There’s a new Kickstarter project that just recently started up (and already hit 100% funding) that is hoping you can overcome that association.
Arnold & Sons Time Pyramid: Now in Steel
Arnold & Sons is a brand I’ve been keeping tabs on, as they’ve brought some rather interesting designs to the table (and we’ve written about them previously). One of their latest, the Time Pyramid, is literally an award-winning piece (2nd place in the Watch of the Year by Swiss magazine ‘Montres Passion’). And frankly, even if it wasn’t, you’ve got to admit that this is one of the more interesting watches you’ve seen.
Historical Horology: Laco
In today’s installment of Historical Horology, I just want to give a quick preface, and then set you loose on the main article that I ran across. In this day and age, many watch brands like to emphasize their lineage, especially if the brand has stayed in the hands of one family. But what if you you found out that you were a descendant of a founder of a watch company you admire – and that it’s still in family hands?
Kickstarting Military Watches From Another Era
Over the weekend, I wrote about the history of the B10 (aka NATO) strap. While the nylon B10 has become almost a paragon of minimalism when it comes to watch straps, there’s another style that has military ties (just like the B10), but goes in almost the exact opposite direction, stylistically. That style is known as the “wristlet” – read on to learn more about this recently-launched Kickstarter project.
Prometheus Sailfish Review
Vintage dive watches always seem to be a popular category, and we’ve seen quite a few hit the market in the last year or so. Many of these draw inspiration from the famous Blancpain Fifty Fathoms (is there something to link to for this) which first appeared in 1953. This is the precise model the latest watch from Prometheus draws from.
Giveaway: AVI-8 Hawker Harrier AV-4006-01
Hear ye, hear ye – it’s time for another giveaway! Read on for your chance to win the AVI-8 Hawker Harrier AV-4006-01.
And The Winner Is…
No, we didn’t have a giveaway that you missed (though one should be coming up soon). No, this is me declaring a winner in the battle my family had against the bug that seems to be going around this winter in the Midwest. As you might guess by the fact that I’m not writing about a watch here, it was the crud that took us all out.
