Introducing: The NOMOS Glash��tte Neomatik 'First Edition' Watches, With Automatic Caliber DUW 3001, Launching In Ten New Models
NOMOS Glashütte has been around since 1990, believe it or not – here at HODINKEE we find it hard to imagine that the company’s already a quarter century old, because they’ve managed to keep a sense of inventiveness in how they present themselves, and in their watches, that makes them seem perpetually fresh. None of this is an accident, of course – in fact, a big part of the reason that NOMOS has as much goodwill from the watch community as it has, stems from its obsessive concentration on getting all the details just right. We’ve all seen innumerable watches from innumerable brands that almost work, but that have that one niggling detail that, like a puncture in a balloon, lets all the air out of a design. NOMOS, on the other hand, manages to get all the details right again, and again, and again, with almost eerie consistency – and with an equally eerily consistent design language, which could easily start to seem repetitive or monotonous, but d

Bring a Loupe: A 1940s Panerai (Made By Rolex), A Jet-Set 1950s Patek, Two Hot Heuers, And More
This week's Bring A Loupe will bring you a very early diver from Panerai – the type that many would in fact call a "Rolex" – and two dreamy watches from Patek: a GMT complication from the 1950's (yes, that was a thing) and a steel Calatrava. Those won't come alone; we also found a very early Heuer Autavia, a vintage Gallet chronograph and an amazing modern Lange. This is your Bring A Loupe for September 11, 2015, and you're gonna like it a lot. A 1940s Panerai (Or Is It A Rolex?) Reference 3646 Type C For The German Frogmen 1 OF 9 This piece offers a travel through time when Panerai was making only a handful of diver watches for the Italian and German armies – of course with the contribution from Rolex for the case and movement. In the 1940's the German had given instructions to produce an anonymous dial for its combat divers and to me, this is military watches at their best! Yet, more than 70 years later the design s

Canada Customs?
I bought a beater watch (Steinhart Ocean 1 GMT) from this nice guy in Waco Texas. He shipped it USPS, declared and insured it for it's value and all this was quite visible in the shipping documents. It arrived at Canadian Customs who, according to the tracking info, immediately cleared it and released the package to Canada Post, without assessing any duty or sales tax. Now, I'm not complaining, but is this normal, or is it a crap shoot, sometimes they do and sometimes they don't?

Airking 116900 should I sell ???
I have an Airking and Milgauss Black Dial and have to sell one. The Airking is less then a year old and growing on me but seems to be unpopular.I know its subjective but the New Airking seems to be unusual and a slightly less traditional Rolex but would appreciate other members opinions of the the new 116900 model and if they like it . If not what would they choose.I appreciate your response.
