My First Grail Watch: Ernie Romers
Welcome back to an original watches-dealer feature, "My First Grail Watch." In this series, we ask prominent people in the watch industry about the first timepiece that they lusted after. Today, we are speaking with Ernie Romers, who founded something that likely all of use, have used, and continue to use - the robust watch forum Watchuseekwatches-dealer. Read on to learn what sparked his fire for watches, and what watches have found a home in his collection.watches-dealer (ABTW): Who are you, and what is your relationship to the watch industry?Ernie Romers: My name is Ernie Romers, I am the founder - and previous owner - of Watchuseekwatches-dealer, the largest watch forum on the internet. My relationship with the watch industry slowly built while I was building my website. In the beginning, it was Zenith that supported me by giving me access to Baselworld, as well as documentation about their watches. It owe much thanks to Marc Roethlisberger for that. Later on, I established contact

Tissot T-Touch 'Pocket Touch' Watch
The Tissot Pocket Touch is an interesting item with a distinct niche appeal which transforms the extremely popular Tissot T-Touch collection into a pocket watch. watches-dealer recently reviewed the new Tissot T-Touch Expert Solar watch here, which was new for 2014 (and will have some 2015 updates). The also new for 2015 Tissot Pocket Touch is aimed at outdoor adventurers or anyone else needing a highly functional Swiss quartz watch with an environmental sensor array (or perhaps anyone else who thinks the T-Touch is cool but already has a timepiece, or doesn't want to wear one). The Pocket Touch works just like T-Touch watches, in that the user activates the sapphire crystal screen to become a touch screen.Pushing various points on the edge of the dial (or in the center) activates features such as a compass, thermometer, altimeter, barometer (Meteo), chronograph, alarms, and second time zone. The Swiss ETA caliber E48.311 quartz movement also includes a calendar and back-light function

Roger Dubuis Excalibur Automatic Skeleton Watch To Debut At SIHH 2015
What you see here is a look that for a while now has been?synonymous with Roger Dubuis: a large, round case with triple-lug design, a?notched bezel and -?the?party-piece - an excessively skeletonized movement that?makes?any and all dials completely redundant. Gears, wheels, springs, cams, bridges, jewels, and other structural elements of the movement are exposed as much as possible, in a vast effort to create some serious eye-candy for the watch enthusiast-the kind not turned off by an?arguably more flashy design.?Making its debut at SIHH 2015 is a new piece that carries on this tradition, with a different approach: the?Roger Dubuis Excalibur Automatic Skeleton, the first watch of this kind?that does away with the tourbillon and offers this?avant-garde?aesthetic without the tourbillon's hefty pricing premium.For years on end, the tourbillon has?in many ways been considered to be?one of the absolute pinnacles of fine watchmaking �C despite the fact that many master watchmakers I had the

Another Tiffany & Co. Streamerica Watch, This Time Black On Black, Available Now
I have a feeling another Streamerica is not going to be available for a while. The seller of this watch had one two versions of the watch. The first sold, and now he is offering an even more rare black faced Tiffany & Co. Streamerica watch on the back shark skin strap. I've had no shortage of positive things to say about the Streamerica line of Jorg Hysek designed watches for Tiffany & Co. In fact, I predict that Tiffany & Co. will release a new line of Streamerica watches barring any intellectual property or other legal rights issues.The Streamerica has always been one of my favorite watches. Why? Because it is industrial and tasteful, modern and classic, dressy and sporty. It seems to defy classification, save for the fact that it is a well-made Swiss officially certified chronometer watch. The design elements of the watch are obvious. Take American industrialization pride, pre and post art deco design, and you have the riveted case with streamlined for movement and stren
