Historical Bulova Accutron Spaceview Electonic Watch Is Futuristic (For 1965); Immensely Collectible
There was a time when people were really sick of mechanical watches. The little machine movements are enjoying an enormous renaissance right now, but it was not always that way. In fact, back in the early 1990's the mechanical movement was all about to die. How did it get to that point?Back in the late 1950's, all you had at your disposal was mechanical movements, much of which were not very accurate. In an effort to provide more accurate, and affordable (relatively speaking) watches, companies began to search for new movements. Without going into a watch movement history lesson, suffice it to say that in late 1950's the electronic watch was almost ready for production. They were the precursor to quartz watches, which used what is called a "tuning fork" for accuracy and regulating the movement. Quartz watches use a vibrating quartz crystal instead of a tuning fork. Tuning fork watches proved to be much more accurate than mechanical watches and were powered by batteries, not the winding

A Bauhaus Inspired Guide
Open from 1919 to 1933, the Bauhaus was a sort of Utopian school of art, craft and architecture that has had a major and lasting effect on modern design. Founded by architect Walter Gropius in Weimar, Germany, the Bauhaus in its fairly short lifetime output some of the great artists, designers and architects of the 20th century. Looking at the work from the period, its relevance and influence is undeniable, which is remarkable considering the school was founded nearly a century ago.With so many watches being large, aggressive and sport-inspired, something simple, easy to wear and versatile belongs in everyone's collection. Bauhaus inspired watches are a perfect fit, as their minimalist design makes them elegant enough to be dress watches, yet simple enough for daily wear. Often defined by a lack of extraneous detail, small stripped-down cases, clean fonts and thin hands, a Bauhaus watch has a design full of history, yet a modern attitude.1930's Kano by WUS member LeicaMasterThe fol

LOVE my new Speedmaster Pro Tintin!
I am usually not the kind of person to post an incoming (still have to properly introduce my BLNR in the Rolex section) but I am so happy with my new acquisition that I would like to give it due credits!Long story short, I started in the (serious) watch world in 1998 when I rewarded myself with a Seamaster Pro 300m diver (aka the Bond watch or 2531.80 for you geeks!). Wore that one for 16 years straight when I stumbled The Rolex Forum as I was increasing my knowledge for my new passion of really serious watches. Had long been eyeing the Speedy Pro but the Rolex GMT Master-2 was starting to catch my eye and I had a new admiration for Rolex as a brand (used to dislike them quite a lot as the cheesy glitzy old DD and other TT DJ were never my cup of tea... I will admit). Eventually, I got a 3570.50 and as much as I loved it at first sight, it proved to not be a daily wearer for me as it was lacking the date and I felt that the hesalite was a bit too prone to swirls. Decided to sell it to

Two Tone Seamaster
Hello. A friend of 20 years has offered to sell me an 18ct gold/stainless steel Omega Seamaster with a white face for 2,300. He says it is worth about 4,000. He has the original box and warranty card. I can only find one similar model in my entire and extensive research. Has anyone seen this model before or own it themselves? Any idea of it's worth? I trust my friend completely, but I want todo my homework first. Thank you.
