ArtyA & Kerbedanz Led Zeppelin Watch Collaboration
More often than not, brands define their product DNA, ensuring every item that rolls off the production line is unmistakably theirs �C but some brands aren't so easy to pigeon-hole. Some brands like so much to be different and that difference becomes their modus vivendi. The new ArtyA & Kerbedanz Led Zeppelin watch is a typically unpredictable offering from the originative mind of Yvan Arpa, owner and creative director of ArtyA. The ArtyA & Kerbedanz Led Zeppelin is, like his previous models, quite unlike?anything else. His range is bound by a common uncommonness. ArtyA is nowhere near as erratic as a brand like Azimuth, for example, but I wouldn't fancy betting on what will come next �C I will wager, though, that it'll be worth a look!Founded in 2010, ArtyA is a Swiss brand that specialises in aesthetic brilliance. Boasting its own manufacture, Arpa is proud of his company's ability to respond quickly and organically to in-house decisions. With a team of just ten people, ArtyA i

SalonQP 2012 London Watch Show November 8-10
Quick note and reminder that UK-based watch lovers might want to head over to the SalonQP watch show for 2012 in London. I'd go save for the fact that I won't be in Europe at the time and they aren't quite set up yet to invite media properly. That is OK as they are still a new event (but already impressive). SalonQP is set up by the UK-based watch magazine QP, which I enjoy when I can get my hands on it.SalonQP 2012 will once again be held at the Saatchi Gallery in London this year from November 8 - 10. A lot of good brands go as well as good number UK-based brands. You can get tickets via their site here. They also have a large sponsored section on The Telegraph UK site with news of the show. By the way, if one of you going wants to cover it for us (pictures and some posts) let us know.

Perrelet Moon Phase Watch Line
The new Moon Phase watch from Perrelet drew my attention because of the sophisticated formal looks, and the big moon. A new trend in mechanical moon phase watches is the use of a large "realistic" -looking moon. The moon phase window in the watch takes up almost half of the dial and is more than just a side complication. It is the main draw of the watch!Depending on who you are, knowing the phase of the moon is useful (you lycanthrope!) or trivial. Either way it does look fancy, and makes for a spiffy look for a man, or a woman. And at 40mm wide, it is a size that is big, but not obscenely so for a woman (see the diamond-bezel version?with the white alligator strap to see what I mean).A Moon Phase complication is inherently part of an overall calendar complication. The Moon Phase uses a dial periphery based date calendar, in addition to displaying the time. Inside the watch is a Perrelet automatic mechanical P-11 movement (with a 40 hour power reserve). The watch isn't too big either a

Gavox Legacy Navy Review
It's always very exciting when a brand surprises you. Whether through the quality of a piece that belies its price or the thoughtfulness of a design, it's reassuring when a brand seems to surpass what you expect. Gavox's newest releases, the Legacy Navy line, are an example of a brand doing something quite unexpected that made me adjust what I think about them.The Gavox watches we reviewed last January were pretty straight forward quartz pilot's watches. They had a few unique twists, but ultimately used the vocabulary of modern pilot's that we are very familiar with. As is typically the case, when a brand's first watch is of a certain type, the proceeding watches are an evolution on that idea. But, with their newest watches, Gavox has taken an entirely different direction. The Legacy marine watches have a classically inspired design that is elegant and refined, with dials that have very interesting asymmetry and texture.Loosely based on marine chronometers and the classic aesthetics of
