Bremont Supermarine Watch Now More Super With The S2000
The biggest "cultural" difference between the Bremont Supermarine 500 and the Supermarine 2000 (aka S2000 - no, not like the Honda) is the little text at the bottom of the dial. The Supermarine replaces the old "Swiss Made" with simply "London." Does that mean the S2000 is not Swiss made? No. Instead, it shows that Bremont has come a long way in its ongoing journey to be a serious British luxury brand. It wants people to know that it is English through and through, and will eventually lead to movements made in the UK as opposed to Switzerland.The Supermarine 500 remains my favorite Bremont watch to-date. You can find a full review of the Bremont Supermarine here. I quite love that watch and the Supermarine 2000 will not really be all that different. The idea for the 2000 is to be a larger, more durable piece. These pictures are pre-renders of the final watch. I have also personally checked out a prototype of the 2000, and confirm it is everything I love about the Supermarine 500, plus

The Value Proposition: The Amazing, Incredible, And Semi-Affordable, Atmos Clock From Jaeger-LeCoultre
As the current new guy at HODINKEE, it gives me no small pleasure to introduce – I should say, re-introduce – an old reader favorite: The Value Proposition. It’s been on hiatus for some time but you’ve asked us repeatedly to bring it back, and we listened.In Value Proposition we bring you a look at some of horology’s biggest and best bang-for-the-buck – timepieces that, in a world where price increases have for over a decade shut more and more out of enjoying mechanical horology, really over deliver in the value department. In general this means things in the under $10,000 category but at the same time, you might see us occasionally cover something like, say, a $15,000 minute repeater that sounds as nice as a $300,000 chiming complication, which seems unlikely, but hey, if it exists, you’ll read about it here first.Today, let’s talk about the Atmos clock, from Jaeger-LeCoultre. The Atmos is nothing more nor less than one of the absolute c

Incoming............But Not For Me.
My wife is not one to indulge in luxury items, but she does appreciate fine jewellery and timepieces. Since our first child was born back in 2011 and our second one in 2014, she has never asked for anything and have always put them ahead of anything else. It seems fitting and timely that we present her with this watch to commemorate her graduation (which took a many years due to personal issues), her birthday, and Mother's Day. Stainless steel is her choice for watches as she is not a fan of PM watches. Also, she prefers the dressy styling of Omega as opposed Rolex. She opened the box earlier this morning and she absolutely loves it. So without further adieu, onto the incoming!

Does my Omega need service?
I bought my Speedmaster Date 3513.30 13 months ago new from an AD and I'm most definitely not getting the full claimed 44 hours out of the power reserve. I usually only wear it a few hours at a time as I don't work with it on, am I wrong to assume it should be capable of going for a full 40+ hours after wearing it for about 4 or 5 straight? Seems odd I have to reset the time every other day on a watch that is only barely a year old.

Paying to Bypass the Line
You can pay the bouncer at a club to bypass the line. You can pay at a restaurant to get a table immediately. You can pay to avoid standing in line for rides at DisneyWorld.You can pay to drive in express lanes to get somewhere faster.Now, the latter two are more official than the former two. But the point is you can pay a business/person to get things faster in different areas of life.Has anyone paid someone at an AD to bypass the list for a hot watch?
