WATCH GIVEAWAY: Torgoen T81 Limited Edition Automatic
This month on watches-dealer, you have a chance to win a limited edition Torgoen T81 mechanical automatic pilot watch. The Torgoen T81 is named as such in honor of pilot Spencer Suderman who accomplished a record-setting 81 inverted flat spins from an altitude of 23,000 feet in his Pitts stunt plane. Because "81 Inverted Flat Spins" is actually written on the watch dial, the wearer should know what they are - and the answer is a particular aerobatic maneuver where the plane is spinning while falling upside down.The Torgoen T81 Limited Edition watch is 43mm wide in a black-colored steel case that is water resistant to 100 meters. The aviator-style dial is legible and clean, offering a timeless sporty look enhanced by accents of red color. The Torgoen T81 has a sapphire crystal and contains a Swiss automatic mechanical movement. Attached to the watch is a distressed Italian black leather strap with contrast stitching. Torgoen has limited the Torgoen T81 to just 200 pieces, with a retail

Jacob & Co. Lord Of The Bling Dances His Way Into Jail; No, Not For Selling Fugly Watches
Tragedy ensues in many communities as watch maker and jeweler Jacob & Co. founder Jacob Arabov will be sent to prison for 30 months. The crime was essentially laundering drug money and lying to law enforcement while providing false documents.

Naturally, you'd give illicit money to the jeweler to entrust right? He'll just put your money into high yield precious gems. Arabov did anyone would do, defer to a big client when 100s of millions of dollars are at stake. I honestly feel bad for the guy, stuck between a rock (diamond) and a hard place (more diamonds). He probably felt like he didn't have much of a choice.It is no secret that bling happy hip hop stars often lack what I personally would describe as good taste. A few years ago, the

The Oak & Oscar Burnham
The American watch brand scene just gained a new addition with Chicago-based Oak & Oscar. The brand is entering the market with a watch called the Burnham, a limited-edition piece that packs a lot of detailing into a straightforward design. Oak & Oscar looks and sounds like something straight out of a hipster’s how-to handbook, with references to bourbon and crafted-leather accessories, but there is some real substance here in the execution. 1 OF 6 The Burnham gets its name from the architect and urban planner Daniel Burnham, who left his indelible mark on the city of Chicago more than 100 years ago. The watch is an interesting study in dial design, with many subtle details working independently of one another. The matte-grey dial is referred to as “non-militarized,” meaning great lengths were taken to ensure the sandwich dial and each of the Arabic numerals didn’t come off as a stencil set of numbers. The 8 and 7 were particular challenges
