The Apple Watch Launch: What We Know So Far
Today at 10:00 AM Pacific Time, Apple’s “Spring Forward” event will be available as a live video stream on the company’s website. The event is widely expected to produce the final details on the company’s long-awaited smartwatch, the Apple Watch.The timing of the announcement is most certainly not random: it takes place the day after Daylight Savings Time goes into effect, and it falls slightly more than a week before the start of the Baselworld watch fair in Switzerland, with the antennae of the watch cognoscenti fully attuned.? WatchTime has already done extensive reporting on the Apple Watch and its possible impact on the watch world in general. Here are some highlights from what Apple has revealed thus far:? The Apple Watch will be available in three collections, in three metals (including 316L stainless steel and 18k gold), in two sizes (38 mm and 42 mm), with six interchangeable straps and bracelets, and 11 different faces. Prices will start at $349.

Damasko DK14 and DK15 Review
Editor’s note: The following article/review originally appeared on WUS. It is a hands-on look at a rare watch that we’ve been?interested in some time. Damasko is known for their metals and engineering, but they happen to also be one of the few manufacturers of in-house movements available under $5k. The article was written by Brett of Timeless Luxury Watches, which is a retailer of Damasko. ?This is neither a sponsored post or an advertorial, merely a guest post.Today I get to review two watches, and one movement, that I've been dying to see in person for a very long time. Those watches are the Damasko DK14 and DK15, and the movement is their extraordinarily advanced in house A35, one of two in house movements currently made by Damasko (although they modify others).Everything about these watches is unique to Damasko. The way the cases are made, the way the crown screws down, the gaskets, and of course, the movement. But it's not just another ETA clone manufactured in house.

A watch for my mom
So, my mom passed away October 2016. I've been wanting to do something to honor her that I could pass on to one of my sons (I had previously inherited a 1680 from my dad who passed in 2005). After much research and internal debating, I've decided to go with an Explorer 214270 (current release). This is not a piece to add to my collection.My reasoning for this specific watch is that I believe this piece embodies many of the characteristics of my mom. 1. Simplicity, not complicated 2. Resilience (never gave up) 3. Dependability and reliability 4. She never changed or wavered over the years, except for her appearance (getting older) 5. Elegant and beautiful, even in blue jeans. Never overstatedWhen it really comes down to it, I don't care what anyone else thinks about my decision. But, I am curious to any similar stories that you all may have. These timepieces can be a statement piece for some, and for others, they represent different life markers for ourselves (They can te

Incoming Sub - Resize bracelet myself or let the shop do it?
I have a Submariner Date Ceramic (116610LN) arriving this week. The shop asked me if I want them to resize the bracelet (small wrist). They're not an AD but sourced it from an AD and sell a lot of watches.What do you guys recommend? Let them do it or ask them to ship the watch untouched and do it myself?Taking into account:- I bought a watchmaker screwdriver with four tips (1.0+1.2+1.4+1.6mm). I think it is good ($35) but never really used it before, anything is possible.- I bought a bottle of Loctite 222.- I have some painter's tape to put on the bracelet.- I watched a couple of YouTube videos on how to do it like a boss.HOWEVER:- I'm usually pretty bad with this type of precision handywork/fixes. I'm a clumsy mo#cker.- Never did it before and don't want to damage anything (strip screws, etc).What would you guys recommend as the least terrible idea? Do it myself or let the shop do it?
