In this series, we ask prominent people about the first timepiece that they lusted after. ?Today, we're speaking with Jonathan Ward, the CEO of ICON Automotive. ?You might be wondering why we're talking with a car guy - but you'll find that he's quite the watch guy as well, even going so far as to pair watches to his automotive designs.watches-dealer (ABTW): Who are you, and what is your relationship to the watch industry?Jonathan Ward (JW): I am the lead designer and CEO of a niche automotive brand called ICON. At ICON, we revisit vintage transportation designs in a modern context.

Zodiac Sea Wolf Review
Zodiac is quickly becoming a brand that all affordable watch enthusiasts should pay attention to. For those unfamiliar, Zodiac has a long, storied history. They were major innovators for a time, and had the quartz crisis never happened, could have been one of the major brands today. But, it did happen and the brand got swept away like so many others, only to be bought and sold and bought again years later. Now owned by Fossil, a small team within the larger company is taking back the name and reestablishing the brand by re-imagining their iconic watches.We've seen a few pieces from them in the last year or so, namely the very stylish Sea Dragon we reviewed a few months ago, which impressed us with its build and finish quality.

How long for watch to settle in?
Looking for some input. Just got a DateJust 41 two months ago. It has been consistent over the past two months at running -4 seconds per day. Obviously this is outside of the +2/-2. Should this go in to be regulated or should I give it more time on the wrist. And if someone could suggest a good place to send it from Ohio it would be appreciated. Cheers.And yes..... I agree -4 seconds per day is really good. That said, I also agree that the company said it would be +2/-2 so I am not being unreasonable two months out.
