Urwerk UR-105 TA 'Turbine Automatic' Watches In Fancy Colors
With the new-for-2015 Urwerk UR-105 TA collection, the Swiss brand is making one of their most appealing timepiece collections even better. In 2014, Urwerk first unveiled the UR-105M watches which introduced a great new design as well as a new entry-level price point for the brand. The next model in the family is the Urwerk UR-105 TA "Turbine Automatic Knight Watches," which extends the range with not only new visual styles, but a totally different movement. Whereas the UR-105M was a manually-wound timepiece, the Urwerk UR-105 TA (UR-105TA) contains an automatic winding movement (Urwerk's "Turbine Automatic" system).Why "Turbine Automatic?" Well, most Urwerk automatic watches have a oscillating rotor which is connected to a set of turbines that visually spin with the rotor. Part of this is just for fun and showmanship, but it is also part of a system which allows the rotor to spin either easily, with a bit more resistance, or to stop it all together (when you expect the Urwerk UR-105 T

Event Recap: New TAG Heuer Ambassador Tom Brady Launches The Carrera - Heuer 01 Chronograph (Live Ph
Last night in New York City, new TAG Heuer ambassador Tom Brady and CEO Jean-Claude Biver launched the Carrera - Heuer 01. The Carrera - Heuer 01 is a huge achievement for TAG Heuer – an automatic chronograph with a manufacture movement at a very attractive price. I know what you're thinking – not another celebrity brand ambassador, but it turns out Tom Brady is a real watch guy. I spoke with Mr. Brady after the event to learn more. 1 OF 4 I'll be honest, I am not a football fan and I don't know much about Tom Brady's career. None of that mattered though – Mr. Brady is a very friendly guy and is really into watches. It turns out that the first mechanical watch that he bought was a TAG Heuer Carrera, after winning his first Super Bowl in 2002. We took a look at the new Heuer 01 together, and he explained that he appreciates the timeless style of the Carrera, both vintage and modern. When I asked about his watch collection, he laughed and e

Am I the only one?
....who finds it odd that AP doesn't offer a 42mm ROO in RG with a ceramic bezel? It seems like such an obvious winner for those of us who think the 44mm RG novelty is too big but find the rubber clad bezel lacking lustre. Those two models should mate.

Day Date Moon goes to Conneaut
I always enjoy the travel and food threads you all share. This is not exotic or extravagant as most, but it is our life in the summertime. We have a family lake home up at Conneaut Lake, about an 90 mins north of Pittsburgh. These were taken last weekend, we have been having a pretty nice summer! Enjoy Hey, it is 4 o' clock somewhere I enjoy cooking (as long as someone keeps the rugrats out of my kitchen- grandparents do a good job of this!) Spring lettuce mix salad, sunflower seeds, chickpeas, tomatos, shredded carrot and light viniagrette dressing. Grilled chicken with a spinach pasta that has roasted corn and tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. Kids in bed, time for some limoncello! I LOVE this stuff ;) Beautiful Harvest Moon shot to end the night!
