New Watch Brand Arc-Tic Out Of Iceland
If you were to pinpoint a brand that you'd associate with Iceland, it would likely be the JS Watch Company, who have been creating luxury watches since 2005. ?Today we're bringing you word of the latest Icelandic watch company, ARC-TIC Iceland - which just happens to be brought to you by the same people.ARC-TIC shares more than just a country with JS Watch Co - they're actually sister brands. While JS focuses more on refined and high-end pieces, ARC-TIC will be looking to target the outdoors sports market, with designs (and specs) to accommodate those demands. Their intro promotional campaign in Iceland involved a guy in an astronaut suit walking around engaging in guerrilla marketing. Why the ARC-TIC name? The first bit of that is actually pretty obvious - Iceland has the Arctic circle running through it, so it was a natural name to pick up. The hyphenated tic is specifically to call to mind the ticking sound you'd pick up from a clock or watch. Subtle, but I like it.Pages: 1 2 3

Historical Perspectives: Revisiting The History Of The Omega Speedmaster With The Astronauts Who Wore Them
The official status of Omega’s Speedmaster Professional as that of “Moonwatch” is widely known and celebrated amongst enthusiasts and certainly by Omega themselves. Unlike many brand partnerships, the relationship between Omega and NASA has yielded real, tangible benefits, with the Speedmaster itself making appearances in each of the manned missions to the Moon, and even contributing to one of the greatest dramas of the 20th century, helping the astronauts of Apollo 13 return safely to Earth after an oxygen tank explosion two days into the mission. To gain a more personal perspective on this relationship, Omega sent us to NASA headquarters in Houston, where we had access to astronauts Jim Lovell (Gemini 7, 12; Apollo 8, 13) and Tom Stafford (Gemini 6A, 9A; Apollo 10; ASTP). We heard the first hand account of Lovell’s heroism, and the Speedmaster’s pivotal role in Apollo 13’s return to Earth. 1 OF 26 “Houston, we have a problem.&rd

Is this a good price for 15400ST?
Hello everyone,I got a Rolex recently. But started looking into AP recently. Love the simplicity and the design. I am looking at 15400ST with the blue dial or white dial. I can get white dial for about $17000 after all the discount and taxes. The blue dial would be about $17800. Not much discount on the blue dial. Both dials are amazing. Has that interesting shine to it. And the bracelet- it is just amazing!The price is from the AP boutique for a brand new piece. Is this a reasonable price? Do AP offer any discount? On Rolex it is common to get some discount depending on the model. But the AP time pieces are completely new to me.Looking at chrono24 the piece I am looking at, is priced at 20-24 k. I am a bit confused. Would be glad if someone can direct me. Thanks a lot.
