Pro Cycling Rivals Come Together Over Watches
In a video interview you can watch at CyclingNews, top pro cycling sprinter Mark Cavendish and rival Filippo Pozzato reveal that though relations between them may not always have been on the best terms, all that changed once they got to know each other and learned they share an interest in watches. Cavendish, who hails from the Isle of Man, is one of pro cycling’s most colorful characters, and he is widely regarded as the best sprinter in the pro peloton today. He chalked up 11 wins in his first professional season, and has gone on to win 15 Tour de France stages, among many other victories. A fierce competitor, “Cav” has been described as confident bordering on arrogant.In years gone by, Cavendish and Italian rider Filippo Pozzato exchanged insults that caused many to characterize their relationship as antagonistic. Speaking to Cycle Sport in 2008, Pozzato said I've got a lot of respect for almost everyone in the peloton but I just don't like Riccardo Ricco and Mark

URWERK UR-202S "Full Metal Jacket" Watch With Bracelet
From the brand that brought you a black coated gold watch comes a black coated steel watch (and brushed steel) - and for some reason that seems odd for the brand. What I am more excited about however is the bracelet. This is the first Urwerk watch that I know of that comes with a metal bracelet - and I think it is really fitting. You can get me excited all day long with straps of fancy materials, but I really enjoy a nicely engineered bracelet (which is exactly what I expect from Urwerk).The 2011 UR-202S "Full Metal Jacket" is a variant of the UR-202, which itself is a variant of the UR-203. This collection is also named the "Hammerhead" due to the shape of the case. It is actually my favorite Urwerk watch style in their collection to date. The UR-202 was previously done in steel/titanium in the limited edition UR-202 White Shark watch here, and I wrote a nice hands-on article with the UR-203 here. The difference between the two watches is the complications on the dial on the left and

Bremont Introduces the ALT1-ZT/51
Last year at Basel (2015), Bremont introduced the new ALT1-ZT, a more modern and graphic spin on their ALT1 chronograph line. Having once reviewed the ALT1-B, I found the cleaner design of the ZT to be refreshing, more legible and more unique. Well with Basel World 2016 just around the corner, Bremont has announced a new version of the ZT that might just be one of their sexiest designs to date.The ALT1-ZT/51 takes the ZT and gives it a stylized overhaul vis-a-vis their limited edition and highly coveted P-51 chronograph. The P-51 is, in my eyes, the coolest watch Bremont has ever produced. One of their earlier forays into using historical material in a watch, the P-51 featured pieces of its namesake plane, but more over a design that oozed style and personality. The 3-6-9 dial featured a contrast 30-minute counter at 12, a hidden seconds-dial at 9 with a propeller hand and no hour counter, giving it the appearance of a single register chronograph. The hour markers are all small applied

Finally got a Speedy Pro! (And too many pictures.)
I can't believe I waited this long, what a cracking watch. I bought the new 005 (hesalite) model, which I know some say is expensive, and partly paying for a useless box, but I got it at a very good price from a non-authorised dealer (I can live without the AD ��500+ cup of tea!), and the box of goodies does add a bit to the experience. I do think this watch is good value regardless, compared to most other luxury watches anyway. I'm really pleased I went for the hesalite version - the dial is surprisingly clear as a result, although I don't really notice the often talked about attractive distortion (which seems about the same as a sapphire box crystal to me). It's well built and nicely finished, fits me beautifully in my opinion and is super comfortable as a result, and so far at least keeps really good time (+5 s/d).
