Jean Dunand Shabaka Watch
It isn't still a new release, but it is still darn good. The Shabaka watch by Jean Dunand is a special style of watch that takes a bit from the world of art deco (look up artist Jean Dunand and you'll understand), and what feels like British mod artists in the early 1980s would have come up with if commissions to make a space ship (but a watch) designed by the ancient Egyptians. All that and a bag of tricks (the movement) as dreamed up and manufactured by Christophe Claret. The Egyptian theme is no accident either. The watch is intentionally done in this manner. The name "Shabaka" even refers to one of the Egyptian pharaohs who lived around 700 BC.The Shabaka watch starts with a specially made Christophe Claret Calibre CLA88QPRM manually-wound movement. Complications are plentiful including a perpetual calendar three cylinder displays. The dial shows the time, day, date, month, leap year, and moon phase. This might be the first appearance of the cylinder style information window. This

Makara Sea Turtle Review
Funky tool dive watches will always have a home on worn&wound. There is something inexplicably charming about them. Sometimes they are too big, sometimes too clunky, but they are kind of always fun to test and try out. The biggest problem with them is variation. Many brands have nearly the same designs, sometimes suspiciously so, making them become tiresome and tedious. So, when a brand comes along with something unique, it tends to grab our attention.We've talked about Makara before, when we got the chance to handle a prototype of their first watch, the Octopus. It was a fun watch with a unique design that sold out quickly. As a follow up Makara recently released a new watch called the Sea Turtle. Available only in bronze, but with a bunch of dial options, it takes the distinct look of the Octopus in a new direction. Featuring a 300m CuSn8 case, sapphire crystal and a Seiko NH35A movement for $395, it's also well priced. Let's take a closer look.Makara Sea Turtle ReviewCase: Bronz

New DJ41 with Jubilee
Hell All,New to the forum and Rolex's. Went back and forth deciding on band, bezel and dial color. Thought I wanted silver or white face with oyster band to stay more casual . I wear jeans and dress shirts to work. But after seeing the watches in person a few times, the rhodium really spoke to me. The silver was a bit washed out in my opinion and white was nice, but rhodium provided a smooth transition to band and materials the best. I feel the jubilee goes best with the fluted bezel and and the smooth bezel and oyster compliment each other. I also felt like maybe the jubilee was too dressy but once I saw it in person, I was on board for jubilee and fluted. I love it. Won't be my last Rolex I'm sure. I'd post a pic but I don't yet have enough posts to post pictures.
