VULCAIN 50s Presidents Watch
Vulcain �C 50s Presidents’ WatchTimes change, move on, transform, but time is always the same. One hour is always equal to 60 minutes and a minute always lasts 60 seconds. However, how time is "presented" is��of its times! Just look at how the famous Cricket calibre by Vulcain, with a mechanical alarm that launched in 1947, has been updated in 2016: its power reserve has increased from 40 to 52 hours, its central seconds stand at 8 and the alarm display is at 4.The iconic 50s Presidents’ Watch has had a makeover this year with a different layout. The dial comes in matt black with a blue counter, silver or taupe grey and a Clous de Paris centre. Two luminescent dauphine-shape hands glide over the metallic time markers and Arabic numerals.The functions are fuelled by the signature manual wind V-40 movement in the 42mm steel case.Price: 6,150 CHFBy Sharmila Bertinvulcain.ch

Horage Autark Review
A few months ago, I wrote an article about a Swiss brand that had quietly developed their own, fully independent (nothing from ETA, Swatch, etc��) serially produceable automatic movement over the course of 7 years. At first, I didn't really believe what I saw, but after reading up and speaking to one of the owners of the brand, I was amazed. They were really doing something extraordinary, though not many people, at least in the US-blogosphere, were talking about them.The brand was Horage, and their goal was to kickstart a line of watches that used their in-house movement the K1. Well, technically the movement is made by Accurat Swiss, but it's all under one umbrella. They succeeded, which will help get this movement out there. But, this wasn't the only watch Horage had made. In fact, they had an existing line of watches already for sale, manufactured by them. Some of these watches used sourced movements, but one featured their K1, the Autark, which is German for independent.On top of be

Speedmaster 57' priced too high??
Hey folks,So, I currently own a planet ocean that i've had for 6 years, and want to get a new watch to commemorate me getting my Doctorate and my 30th birthday My family wants to chip in as well. I was leaning towards a rolex milgauss gv, but I recently saw the blue speedmaster 57', and it is gorgeous. In consulting with the last AD I dealt with, the price they were able to give me for the 57' is about $7250. Now, I think it deff is a gorgeous watch with an amazing movement, but it's a little tough for me to think of spending that much on an omega. Perhaps I am not giving the brand it's due, but I always looked at omega as best bang for buck in the 3-6k range. At 7kish i'm in rolex/jlc territory. This however is comparing omega's top movement to rolex or JLC simpler movements (maybe not so much for JLC). Anyway, am I wrong in thinking this way. Is the speed master 57' if had for around 7k considered a good deal for the watch in comparison to the brands available at that price.

My first Rolex purchase
The crisp smell of morning after a treacherous downpour the night before permeated the air as I parked at Valley Fair Shopping Center in Santa Clara California on January 8th, 2017. My New Balance sneakers quickly became water logged as I accidentally stepped into a two inch puddle. Muffled cursing under my breathe escaped me. I was simply making my rounds through Macy's, picking up a few dress shirts and stopping by a Coffee Bean kiosk and off I would be to pick up my kids from my mom's house, who were being watched by her for a few hours. My wife was spending the weekend with two girlfriends at a spa retreat. I savored the few hours of respite, even if it happened to be in a mall. Shirts in tow, I paid for my coffee and made my way down the escalator taking a leisurely stroll enjoying my iced coffee. Then I passed it. The logo is known the world over and I have seen it countless times. It never really stirred anything more in me that curiosity, partly because I had always felt Rolex
