Hublot US Liberty Bang Limited Edition Watch
Is this the week of American themed watches or what? Just a few days ago I discussed the Perrelet Turbine XL America, that was a bit of a polarizing piece. Now I present to the Swiss Hublot US Liberty Bang - one of Hublot's latest limited edition Big Bang watches. This watch was unveiled recently in Philadelphia of all places - during the annual award ceremony where the Constitution Center (a non-government organization) gave out its annual Liberty Medal award.The watch will be exclusively available in the US (duh) and limited to just 100 pieces. The dial of the 45mm wide Big Bang watch has a US flag motif made up of text. That text begins with the preamble of the US Constitution followed by other that as far as I know is not in the Constitution I read. Seems like descriptive text talking about the founding fathers, etcStill pretty cool. It is interesting from a poetic standpoint to have the flag made up of words, as powerful words were really what we study when discussing the history

Raven Watches Vintage 42mm
If you like vintage diver designs, specifically the early days of the Rolex Submariner, but not current vintage diver prices, Raven Watches has something you should see. The company, part of STEVRAL who also owns Benarus, recently release their new Raven Vintage 42mm. The name sets up what you are getting right away: vintage design cues in a modern, 42mm case. Some of the hard to find Rolex Submariners are the early non-crown guard models (6536 & 6538) and the military models with ?sword hands (5513 & 5517). The Raven Vintage 42mm combines elements from these ?models into this release.The case size of the Raven Vintage 42mm is clear in the title, with the lug-to-lug length coming in at a reasonable 50mm. Like the early Submariners the Raven has a large crown without crown guards. It really captures the look and spirit of those early watches, although the crown on the Raven is not quite as large. The domed acrylic crystal puts the height of the watch in at a thick 15.5mm, but it

Introducing: The Rotonde De Cartier Astromysterieux
This was a big year for men’s watches at Cartier. You may have read about the new Cartier Drive and the other pre-SIHH releases that we covered in December of last year, but one that you may not have heard about yet is this Cartier Rotonde de Cartier Astromystérieux. 1 OF 3 This watch is a fantastic example of the technical skills that Cartier possesses and doesn't show off enough. Cartier is known for their vintage (and modern) mystery clocks – Louis Cartier and Maurice Couet mastered the mystery clock mechanism in 1912, taking inspiration from the famous illusionist Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin. This year, Cartier decided to modify and apply this technology to the Rotonde de Cartier in their brand new Astromystérieux. 2 OF 3 This watch is different from any watch I have seen in recent years. It is not just a mystery watch, but rather a mystery movement. Instead of just the hands being attached to the two moving crystals, t

Pics of a SeaWolf and DSSD together?
Thinking of picking up an Avenger II SeaWolf soon and was wondering if anyone owned it and the DSSD? I'll have to make it into an AD soon but figured I'd ask the forum if anyone had any comparo pics. Thanks!

Omega Appeal
What's the Omega appeal for you? I, for one, love it's association with NASA. Generally it's designs are conservative as well. I also love its history, specifically it's golden years.
