Rpaige Crash Of ��29 Watch Designed By Mark Carson
?? ? Sponsored postRichard Paige, of Rpaige Watch Co., and Mark Carson have teamed up to create the wildly art deco Rpaige "Crash of '29" watch which is being funded on Kickstarter. Mark designed the case, dial, and hands, and the watches will feature the restored vintage or antique American pocket watch movements which Richard uses in his Rpaige watches.The Genesis Of The Project:Richard Paige: After the successful introduction of my Duo-Face reversible watch, where Mark designed the case for me, I challenged him to come up with something unexpected. I really wanted to be surprised.Mark Carson: I know that Richard is a huge art deco fan and that his Wrocket line of wrist watches have art deco detailing. I'd done the design for an art deco watch a couple of years back but it was dimensioned around a smaller movement.RP: I knew that whatever Mark came up with, it had to use the vintage American pocket watch movements that I lovingly restore and craft into my Rpaige watches.Rpaige Crash

My First Grail Watch: Victor Marks
Welcome back to an original watches-dealer feature, "My First Grail Watch." In this series, we ask prominent people in the watch industry about the first timepiece that they lusted after.

It's been a family value of ours that we made instead of buying and did all the service work ourselves.When I bought my first car, I bought a set of tools and a shop manual and worked on it while my father would read the Sunday paper. When I taught myself to play guitar, I learned how to

Seiko Astron: World's First Quartz Watch Turns 40
When I was recently in Japan, the Seiko folk made sure we knew all about the Seiko Quartz Astron (ref. 35SQ) watch. For whatever reason, the knowledge that Seiko was the inventor of the world's first quartz movement powered watch has eluded me (until then that is). Coincidentally, this December 2009 is the 40th anniversary of the Seiko Astron quartz watch. I got to check out one of the original Seiko Astron watches. Two of the images here are mine that I took of a Seiko Astron watch back in Japan. The watch itself is a testament to Seiko having help up so well after 40 years. It looked as though it was made no more than 5 years ago. The retro style of the watch is surprisingly durable as the look of the watch seems to meld well with today's popular vintage looks.
