Tissot T-Race Nicky Hayden 2010 Limited Edition Watch
Tissot has a goal to always be associated with the racing circuit in America. Other brands follow things like Formula One and other types of motor sports that people in the US don't really pay attention to. Tissot has been partnered with NASCAR (click here to read about their Danica Patrick watch), showing that it was quite interested to align itself with racing events that Americans might actually be interested it. In watch world gospel, "to be associated with popular sport, is to enjoy increased sales." In the same spirit, here is the newest version of the Tissot T-Race Nicky Hayden watch for 2010. The latest limited edition piece for the star motorcycle racer.Limited to 4999 pieces, the T-Race Nicky Hayden 2010 is an interesting piece that shows how the T-Race is maturing gracefully.

New RGM North Pointer Professional GMT 254 Watch
RGM makes watches in Lancaster County,? Pennsylvania, which is a hub of American watch making. In fact, the majority of hands-on watch making that occurs in America today is in, or near Pennsylvania. A fact that strikes me as curious given the remote nature of some of these towns, but makes sense if you compare it to fine German and Swiss watch making towns. You'd be surprised to know that most of the independent watch makers in Germany and Switzerland are based in old farmhouses or alike building in tiny rural areas. take the famous Glashutte region, which is basically a one street village. I don't know why this is, but it must mean that watch makers don't like to be bothered. Thus, you'll find a lot of homegrown American watch making in what is essentially Amish country.

This movement is not in all of their watches, as they mos

Crowdfunding Follow-Up
Over the past few months we here at worn&wound have featured a number of watch brand hopefuls who were using some form of crowdfunding in an effort to get themselves off the ground. This format for funding a project has exploded in the past couple of years and it is a great fit for watches projects. They target the audience that wants the product and if there is enough response, it gets made. Hopefully. Time to look back and see how the projects we have featured here have faired.Rossling & Co. – KickstarterThe idea behind Rossling & Co. was that of a simple, slim dress watch with an affordable price and a versatile design. The project was looking for a reasonable pledge range from $119 to $139 which would provide the contributor with one watch and strap. The company’s funding goal was $19,200 and they were able to successfully blow that number out of the water with an ending total of $170,002 from 1,280 backers. Definitely a job well done.

Hands-On: The Glash��tte Original The Senator Excellence, A Handsome Three-Hander Powered By A New Ca
Made In Germany. This label, coined by the British to discourage the purchase of foreign goods, has since become a promise of quality sought by consumers around the world. And it’s armed with these three words that German watchmakers are hoping to appeal to collectors. But they also raise expectations. ?Hoping to match them, Glashütte Original have developed a brand new movement line that sets itself apart in terms of longevity, precision, and serviceability. And since we’re at Baselworld, they’ve timed its release to coincide with a new collection called the Senator Excellence. I had the opportunity of wearing the watch during the first 100 hours of Baselworld, and here are my thoughts. 1 OF 7 A classic three-hander, presented in both dress watch and pilot watch form, it’s a real beauty, with a slim bezel, polished and brushed surfaces and a price that puts it in direct competition with the equally handsome Zenith Elite 6150 from 2015.Both ar
