Full Pave: A Collection Of Diamond-Studded Swiss Watches
It wasn't until I needed to go ring shopping did I really learn to appreciate diamonds. As a guy, I just always assumed diamonds were for women. Sure some men have diamond rings and earrings - but that hardly represents the norm, at least here in the United States. Diamonds are a sure-fire sign of wealth, but they also represent the most basic and arguably unsophisticated form of luxury features - being really shiny. Though it does help their cause that diamonds are inherently rare. What I do however love, are watches. So what happens when you combine these two things?The "full pave" (or totally diamond covered) watch in the United States is often a simple code for "I have too much money, and perhaps not as much taste." While jealousy might have something to do with those thoughts, it is true that simply covering something normal with diamonds is a less than difficult (albeit expensive) way of adding luxury. That would be ignoring a lot of the really nice diamond covered watches out th

CX Swiss Military Hurricane Limited Edition Watch - Exclusive Announcement
This new limited edition watch from Charmex's CX Swiss Military Watch is the Hurricane, and is dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain! For a neutral country, Switzerland has a lot of "military" stuff, and likes to commemorate battles. Why did I just realize how ironic that was? So, German failure in 1940 has given this Swiss company the ability to make a cool watch. If only they new how much defeat meant back then...Swiss Military wants the Hurricane to be the new benchmark in modern aviation watches. What does that mean? Not totally sure. I don't think aviation watches can have a bench mark with so many different types out there, but this is certainly a nice piece. My only problem with it are the dinky hands, but it isn't any less legible than most Breitling pilot watches. It even has a slide rule - so it must be an aviator then!The Hurricane name is based on the famous single engine British fighter plane that was part of the RAF (Royal Airforce). You can see one o

Hands-On: A Critical Comparison Of The Seiko Eichi II, Laurent Ferrier Galet Micro-Rotor, And Philippe Dufour Simplicity
Seiko is associated primarily with a wide range of moderately priced and reliable watches, but surprisingly, the watchmaking division operates within the diversified conglomerate Seiko Group, whose many specialties include upscale department stores, printers, semiconductors, machine tools, and of course, watches. Seiko has deep roots in timekeeping – founder Kintaro Hattori started to produce clocks in 1892 under the name Seikosha, and in 1969, almost swept the Swiss watchmaking industry off its feet with the introduction of Astron, the first commercial quartz watch. The brand has an enthusiastic collector base and an unparalleled breadth in the lineup that stretches from mainstream quartz to haute-horlogerie, something that is unique in the watchmaking industry, and a depth that is surprising given the wide spectrum of businesses the parent company is involved in.Seikosha translates to “House of Exquisite Workmanship,” and Seiko’s high-end Credor line takes thi

Super Avenger moving in-house
Link to Breitling's IG for image, more details to come apparently tomorrow:https://instagram/p/BaHHHJoBMrt/What do you think?I'm a bit bugged they keep having an open 4 on the bezel when all 4s on the dial are closed. They've done that for years. I think asking for coherent fonts on a luxury product like that should be the least of things. Anyhow, otherwise quite promising, no?

Watch box starts the collection
Hi all I've been jealous of your collection displays for a while. Today for my 2 year anniversary I received a box for mine. Clearly not as impressive as some but I like them. The small Rolex is my wife's, both that and the 30 year old Cyma were given to us by her HK grandfather. Room for one more. My grail is the blue red GMT but as it's made of gold I can't afford it...yet. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
