Luminox Sponsors USA Olympic Bobsled and Skeleton Team
The U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Team is well on the way to achieving medal-level victory in the Winter 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, in February, and Luminox is a proud partner in the team’s effort. Both the men's and women's teams have been performing with outstanding success on the 2009-2010 World Cup tour. The U.S. team has collected 13 medals to date, five of them gold. Reigning World Champion Steven Holcomb contributed six medals to the overall count after adding four gold medals to his growing resume, and currently leads in four-man standings.Bobsled legend Todd Hays had to give up his dream of racing in his fourth Olympics after he suffered a life-threatening brain injury from a crash during a Winterburg, Germany training run. Nonetheless, he was at the Lake Placid, NY America's Cup competition to bolster the US team forward. Only the top three ranked sleds among the nations will be granted a spot at the 2010 Olympics, and the U.S. has a strong chance to qualify the ma

Nomos Club and Club Dunkel Review
When it comes to high-end watches, there is one thing that the most revered watches always have in common: in-house calibers, or manufacture movements. The art of watch making, for the purists, is in the movement. It represents a set of skills that take decades to culminate and even longer to perfect. Movements are designed to be elegant, complicated, efficient, innovative, brilliant, and host of other exalting words. They are miniature mechanical works of art that hearken to a long and rich history of craft and technology. The dials and cases of a watch reflect the mastery within.It's no secret that these watches can cost tremendous amounts of money. From several thousand for a more mass-produced movement, such as an Omega, to tens of thousands for a Jaeger-LeCoultre, to hundreds of thousands for a small-run hand assembled grande complication, such as a Breguet Double Tourbillon. As such, they don't often grace the pages of worn&wound, except in our "watch lust" category. Most of

Introducing: The Bulova CURV Chronographs, With High Frequency Shaped Quartz Movements
Since 2007, Bulova has been owned by the Citizen Watch Co. of Japan, but it was for many decades before that an upstanding member of the American horological community, with many innovations to its credit �C including, of course, the Accutron. The tuning-fork-based Accutron is largely a thing of the past, but Bulova still innovates in timekeeping technology, with its high-frequency, high-accuracy quartz calibers �C and now, with its CURV family of chronographs, it presents the first curved-movement quartz chronographs ever made. 1 OF 8 2 OF 8 The CURV chronographs are, as they say, just what it says on the tin: shaped quartz chronograph watches, which allows the watch to sit very comfortably on the wrist. The movement is a variation on the Precisionist calibers that Bulova first introduced in 2010. These movements have a 262 kilohertz frequency, as opposed to about 32 kilohertz for a conventional quartz oscillator. The upshot is better accuracy �C about +/- 10 seconds

5970 article in Patek Magazine
Good morning gents,If you get a chance check out pg 18/19 of the Spring addition of the Patek Magazine, there's a fantastic write up on the 5970 that a lot of you will find interesting. I think it's also accessible through the owners section of the Patek website. It is my favourite reference of any watch and I feel unbelievably fortunate to own one.Have a good weekend everyone.

PAM 510 vs PAM 359
Hi guys! A newbie here!Wich one will u choose between a new PAM 510 and a used 359I have been reading the forum and seems like the new 510 doesn't come with the sandwich dial and the 359 is discontinued, so I can't buy it new.Regarding the movement I won't be wearing it everyday and taking into account that it will be my first Panerai I believe I have to go with a traditional manual movement. What do you think?Tks!PD: I have rewrote this post because seems like the moderator is not allowing me to post values of the watches?
