Devon Star Wars Limited Edition Watch Based On The Tread 1
Not so long ago, in a galaxy just around the corner, Nixon released a new wave of Star Wars watches in anticipation of the upcoming installment of the world famous franchise. Today, we announce the release of another Star Wars-inspired watch from another American brand: watches from Devon Works are already well-known in the horological community for a pioneering time-telling mechanism that uses printed belts instead of hands to indicate the passing hours, minutes, and seconds. With the "Star Wars by Devon" co-branded luxury timepiece, the Los Angeles-based design team have rained on their Californian neighbors' parade. This is essentially a revised version of the famed Devon Tread 1 (that watches-dealer debuted here in 2010 and reviewed here) made in partnership with Disney and Lucasfilm for Star Wars and, of course, debuted today on "Force Friday."Okay, so maybe it is unfair to compare Nixon's efforts with those of Devon. For one thing, the prices couldn't be further apart. The Devon

Angular Momentum Urushi Red & Black Japanese Lacquer Watch Collection
Angular Momentum's newest timepiece collection is based on something very Japanese. Maybe Seiko or Citizen will be pissed? Angular Momentum's Urushi watch collection uses just that, the ancient natural Japanese lacquer. Urushi actually comes from a tree and is likely a specialized sap from a tree native to Japan, sometimes called the Varnish or Lacquer tree. For centuries, it seems that the compound has been used for various purposes, and still used today for decorative purposes. Angular Momentum has taken Urushi and created a series of watch that embody various manners of Japanese symbolism on them. The sap dries to be very hard (like plastic), and is very smooth. The sap itself is not black and red naturally when it dries as you see on the watches. Instead it is colored with iron or ferric oxide often for the black and red colors you see. It is quite an amazing natural compound, and is hard to believe it is not synthetic.The watches are each done with a different image - as capturing

4 years of AP ownership
A look back at AP 4 years back, I treated my self to the ROO RC 4 years ago and never looked back. What I noticed is that the brand wasn't as popular as it is today locally speaking when compared to Rolex, Chopard and Cartier which are dime a dozen here.My BumbleBee is the current holygrail of my watch collection today, it's a truly spectacular piece and I try to wear it as much as I can. I love the brand and I feel I'm stuck in this watch craze for many years to come. To me the BumbleBee will always be the mostly tastefully done special AP because it's 1) Lightweight2) Ceramic Bezel3) Tastefully done yellow highlights3) Carbon 4) Hornback5) Overall Decoration.6) Size 42mmThese criteria's made me get it without no hesitation. In regards to my 42mm ROO RC its like the GMT2 Pepsi of the AP world in my perspective. A discontinued model that really has kept it's appeal for many years and I will never replace this watch because it has a special meaning to me and it's my first AP which I got

Is 364 a keeper?
Although I already have 305, 382 and 507. Got 364 couple weeks ago. Kind similar but feels thicker. Is it a keeper in your opinion? Sorry for my iPhone pictures.

Hulk renamed the "Wicked Witch" in Upstate NY
Good afternoon all - just something minor to share, but very interesting. I'm up in the Syracuse are for two days. I popped into Henry Wilson Jewelers in the East Syracuse area, inside a smaller mall. Authorized retailer. Began to talk watches (I had my 116610 on). I said, I would love to add the 'Hulk' in the future. Salesman said, Oh, the Wicked Witch, a wonderful piece. Not easy to source right now. I couldn't fathom what he was talking about when he explained that several people have called the Hulk the Wicked Witch, due to the all-green dial and bezel, similar in color to the Wicked Witch of the West i the Wizard of Oz. Personally, I think Hulk is more fitting, but this was so interesting to hear. At least to a watch dork like me....
