Phosphor Touch Time Watch On Kickstarter + Interview
If you are in need of any additional proof that Kickstarter is a great place to fund the development of a new watch, look no further than the Touch Time project from California based Phosphor Watches. Phosphor is well-known for their innovative digital watches which often feature E Ink (e-Ink) displays and have a sense of eye-catching charm. On August 6th, 2012 Donald Brewer and the team at Phosphor launched a Kickstarter project for their newest design, dubbed "Touch Time". Within 24 hours they had reached their $50,000 goal and, as of the time of posting, they have over 1000 backers and well over $125,000 in funding. Perhaps this is not surprising given the success of other watch projects such as the Pebble. Nevertheless it is further evidence that the Kickstarter crowd really loves watches.The Touch Time is a digital watch that offers a series of features including an alarm, stopwatch, reminders, world time, calendar, calculator and moon-phase which are all controlled via a touch sc

Victorinox Alliance Mechanical Review
It's pretty rare that a household name brand surprises you with a product, but in the case of the watch we're looking at today, that's exactly what happened. Victorinox, known of course for their Swiss Army knives as well as their watches, brings to mind a certain design vocabulary. One that speaks most clearly to a military aesthetic, particularly infantry field watches. Though they have made models that diverge, they tend to be in the way of modern sport aesthetics. So, when a clearly vintage inspired design showed up on their site, a watch that I don't even recall seeing in Basel, I was surprised and intrigued.The Alliance Mechanical has design elements that speak directly to watches from the early 50's and late 40's. Elements that, to my knowledge, hadn't been used by Victorinox in other watches. The Alliance Mechanical stands out for being a bit lighter, perhaps dressier, than their other watches, but at the same time having details of their modern and military designs. Powered by

Nautilus 5711 vs 5712
Hello everyone, not sure if there is a similar thread out there but was curious so I decided to start a poll. I noticed there is an extreme amount of love on this forum for the 5711 blue dial and I am one of them. I saw similar love for 5712 but not quite as much. So was wondering if price was exactly the same how many would opt for a 5712 instead.

My wife is a Rolex
I don't know if I can describe it clear enough, but here it goes.My wife is alot like Rolex...shes been around long enough and I still think shes the hottest brand around. A look that doesn't go out of style. She knows what I like and I know she can make it happen..like giving me a ceramic daytona or a ss ceramic GMT BLRO , which makes my day (and the day after). And I don't like other brands, i'm the kind of person that sticks to what I like...but all I get is datejust now and then...and don't get me wrong, I like datejust (very much), but what's the big deal? If she knows what I like, & she already bought that crazy looking blue and red cermaic bezel why doesn't she put it on? Why the long waiting list ? I can't help wondering....did I do something wrong and Rolex wants me to think about it?
