Watch Insider: New Bell & Ross Watches for 50th Anniversary of Dassault Myst��re-Falcon 20
At this year’s Baselworld, Bell & Ross, a watch brand long associated with aviation, added to its Vintage collection's new Sport Heritage line of watches with a timepiece that pays homage to the 1960s – specifically, to Dassault Aviation’s famous Myst��re-Falcon 20, the preeminent business jet of its time. Read about it in this article from my blog, Watch-Insider.In the 1960s, Dassault was already known for groundbreaking technology in designing and manufacturing fighter jets. During that era, the company applied that expertise to its development of a small, twin-engine, 10-seat business jet, called the Myst��re 20. It made its maiden flight on the May 4, 1963 and immediately became a commercial success, becoming known as the Falcon. This year, Dassault delivered its 2,250th Falcon jet and continues to manufacture the modern generation of the legendary aircraft, the Falcon 7X.Dassault Falcon 20Dassault Falcon 7XBell & Ross has teamed up with the aviation company

Grand Seiko Watch Roadshow 2012 At Arizona Fine Time
To be honest with you, I don't really like shopping for watches. I've visited some high-end stores, but have never had a good experience. Haughty and ignorant clerks make for a bad time. It's somewhat understandable in that most customers are not watch geeks, but I'm still averse. So keep that in mind when I tell you that I had a blast visiting the watch showroom at Arizona Fine Time for their Grand Seiko roadshow. This is an unusual place indeed.(Ariel visited last time, and I recommend reading his writeup here as I'll try to not duplicate what he said.)To my mind, the most interesting thing about AZ Fine Time is the back-story of how they came to be selling fine watches and cigars. Mitchel Hirsh, the owner, was a former commodities trader from Chicago who got started selling cigars, and then a few of his personal watches.What he found is that men, just like me, were not well served by watch sellers, and that a relaxed, guy-friendly atmosphere made for much happier customers. AZFT has

Volna Volnatomic Watches Are Radioactive Art
Vonlatomic is a special collection of watches for the Volna watch brand by talented watch design Yvan Arpa. I've discussed Mr. Artya at length because I respect his masculine, artistic approach to watch design. The careful designer spends a lot of time thinking about the best way to execute his wild ideas. His work feels very much like an extension of himself. Each watch being something he himself would proudly wear - truly art for the artist. Many people don't like Yvan's creations. It is easy to be mystified by the thought behind the pop-art style, or sometimes just plain weird watches. Though most passionate artists tend to attract a degree of controversy when it comes to the tastefulness or appeal of their work. For Yvan, timepieces are a palette - the medium through which he likes to create.Yvan's past laurels include designing the Titanic DNA and Moon Dust DNA collection watches for Romain Jerome, starting the Black Belt watch brand, and earlier, being one of the key designers at
