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.

Someone recently asked me whether they thought pocket watches might come back in fashion. John and I spent time discussing this during an episode of the HourTime Show watch podcast and after giving it much thought the answer was a resounding "not likely." So why am I mentioning this before I discuss what is arguably one of the coolest pocket watches around? Because this pocket watch you see before you won't find a place in jacket pockets and be used to tell the time on a regular basis. It will be stored sweetly and safely and played with from time to time. The privileged few owners of these watches will still use a wrist watch as their primary (or at least secondary) means of telling the time. This and other pocket watches will merely be a collector's item. Possibly really cool collector's items, but still just that.Pocket watches are increasingly attractive for high-end brands to make as limited edition models because of collective nostalgia and size.

Bravur Watches Review
Occasionally we come across brands that challenge the notions we have regarding watches and value. In the conversations we have, it's easy to overlook perhaps one of the most critical aspects of any watch, and dismiss it as not being a core value adder. That facet of a watch is simply design. A general term unto itself, this includes everything from the fine details to overall aesthetic to branding. It's so easy to get caught up in what movement is inside, what material is X or Y, we overlook that a watch's design might be derivative or a bit generic. We strive to look at an eclectic array here on w&w, but how often do we relate a detail to something from another watch, another point in time? Don't get me wrong, that approach has great value as well and I often love many of those watches, but isn't there and implicit value in something new? In the process of getting there?This is what intrigues me about Bravur Watches of Sweden. Founded in 2011, their first line of watches became a

FREE Breitling 72 page catalogue to first one with their hand up
Hi guys and gals. Just having a clean-up and discovered this 2009 72 page Breitling mini-cattledog. Each spread has a Breitling model with a classic plane on the facing page. The photography is great.... First one to PM me with an AUSTRALIAN address can have it free, gratis. Apologies to TRF overseas members, but last time I gave away stuff (Rolex cap and polo shirt), it cost me a bomb in postage to the USA....
