Pita Barcelona Carousel Watch Available On James List
The full line of Spanish Pita Barcelona watches are now available on James List. This includes the fascinating and highly character rich Pita Carousel. At first glace the watch is certainly unique, but you might not fully understand this bespoke creation. Each Pita Carousel watch is totally customizable - and made to order. The watch is 40mm wide? (just 8mm thick) and available in 18k yellow gold, rose gold, or white gold. There is also the option of getting one in 950 platinum. The Carousel watch has its name for good reason. This is because the movement is visible right through the dial and spins around (like a carousel). The movement spins as it tells the time. Thus the movement rotates on its own axis. The watch is known as a 12 hour hand watch. Meaning it has just one hand that moves around the dial once each 12 hours. The hand itself does not move, but rather it is attached to the movement that is what moves.Pita really likes crownless cases, and the Carousel is a good example of

Nivrel 5 Minute Repeater Skeletonized Gold Watch Available On James List
If you look at all the details in this Nivrel watch, you'll understand why I like it - especially as compared to many of the other minute repeater watches out there. In a nut shell, you have a base ETA Swiss movement that is highly decorated in a highly polished gold case. The dial is beautifully skeletonized, and the watch has a 5 minute repeater complication. So many nice features for the price of about $23,000 - which is far below that which you'd find from a?? Swiss made watch as Nivrel is German.Nivrel has a lot of 5 minute repeater watches, it is one of their core specialties. A 5 minute repeater is a minute repeater that tells time back to you acoustically to the closest 5 minute minute interval. For example, if the time was 10:41, the minute repeater would probably play back the tones for "10:40." The minute repeater works via a series of hammers and gongs in the movement which is provided by a special Dubois Depraz module (which I believe is specially made for Nivrel) that aff

5 Dress/Business-Casual Watches for Under $1k 2014
A couple of years ago, we did a guide for dress watches under $1k. Looking at it now, I feel it's time to do another one, with some different options. The watches mentioned there are still valid, but we've seen plenty of watches since then that make the cut too. That said, true dress watches are not really that common, nor really that needed. Rather, watches that are good for work and the occasional formal setting, but could probably be worn whenever and wherever, made the list. So, if you're looking for an alternative to you divers, pilots and tool watches, here are a few good options.Orient Bambino $182?We just reviewed this one last week; between the price and the style it's a sure fire winner. Rose gold markers, pearlescent dial, and an insane domed crystal come together for a design that feels vintage, but doesn't look derivative. If you're on a budget, it's also just one of the best buys out there, with a Japanese made automatic movement and a price tag of $182. But, you don't ha
