The Nivrel Wild Sea Chronograph Watch Cuts Through Time
The Nivrel "Sea" watches have always impressed me. They are basic diver watches, with a colorful twist. The chronograph version is the Wild Sea. It comes in standard steel, and PVD steel. This watch is perfect for when you want a classic look, with a bit of an edge.The Wild Sea goes with the red color trim approach. The hands looks like daggers tipped in blood. At least in my morbid sense of observation. For this reason I state that the watch "cuts through time," with hands like knivesThe larger chronograph dials are effective, and I like how the standard seconds dial is made more diminutive. It is a functional, and designer approach to the somewhat generic look of the ETA Valjoux 7750 dial orientation, which of course is the movement inside the watch.Size again is very ordinary at 42mm wide.

The Restoration Of The Girard-Perregaux Caliber 350, The Most Important Quartz Watch You've Never Heard Of
Quartz.  We pretend it's not there, but it defines the modern world of watchmaking.  And yet, once upon a time, it was the new kid on the block an unknown quantity whose influence had yet to be felt.  We're very pleased to present to you one of the most important and influential watches you've probably never heard of: the Girard-Perregaux Caliber 350.  Our watchmaker-in-residence, Aaron Berlow, takes us inside this groundbreaking movement, which influences quartz timekeeping design to this day, and shows us what makes it tick. Ed. Asking many watchmakers what they think about quartz is like asking a die-hard American conservative what they think about government regulation. There is a visceral hatred of this technology that was both so much more accurate and so much cheaper than mechanical movements. It very nearly turned Swiss watchmaking into American watchmaking (that is to say, obsolete.) This disdain has led to some amazing innovations and some incr

44mm Rose Gold Offshore
Guys,I am really loving the way the 44mm ROO fills my wrist and there is only one left amongst all the AD of London. Does the 44mm Rose Gold Offshore look odd with a suit or tux? Is it inappropriate for a work atmosphere?Is it not the right watch for someone who doesn't have a few other, dressier watches?The dealer said they are releasing a really nice leather strap for the Rose Gold Offshore. Have any of you seen the watch on a nice leather, or even better, a horn leather strap? Does the Rubber look better? Pics would be great.Thanks,Farris
