Review: Christopher Ward C9 Harrison Jumping Hour
After spending a few weeks with the Christopher Ward C9 Harrison Jumping Hour watch, I can safely say that I am smitten. Yes, smitten. As a watch lover I can't help but be seduced by those epic watches that cost from $6 �C 600 thousand dollars, but as a normal dude, I never expect to own one. The watches I am talking about are those with really unique little mechanical gizmos under their skin that are doing fascinating little tasks, whether it is tracking the moon or spinning on multiple axis, they are part of what makes watches so fascinating. So, when a watch like the C9 comes along, containing within it one of those unique mechanical complications, but is at an achievable price point, I get really excited. Sure, $1,585 is not cheap, but one could imagine how through saving and perhaps selling off watches one no longer wears, $1,585 is not that out of reach. Having been able to actually spend time with this watch, the answer is yes, the unique complication, as well as the overall high

Hands-On: The Cartier Hypnose
This year at SIHH we saw a lot of releases from Cartier. The Drive for men was big news, but one new release you may not have seen yet is the Cartier Hypnose. This collection is the latest addition to Cartier's women's line. While the oval case shape is not new for Cartier, they have managed to reinvent it in fresh and modern way. 1 OF 8 First, a little background on the Hypnose and its shape. Although this is a “new” watch, it is by no means a new design for Cartier. The oval design was first created by Louis Cartier in 1912, and the the oval-form watch was later put into production in 1956. The design was recognizable by its balanced oval shape and the bulbous nature of the the bezel. Originally available with a bracelet (notably an oval-linked version) or strap, it was the ideal ladies' watch – and featured a caliber 495 movement produced by LeCoultre, which was back-wound to conceal the crown and preserve the design (something that is pra

Omega seamster vs sub
I have to say I did love my no date sub before flipping for a Daytona . But this omega I have enjoyed more than I did the sub.

Brown dial nautilus?
Was in a meeting today with a new staff member when I noticed he was wearing what looked like a Nautilus. However, the dial colour was brown - it was the first time I've seen a Nautilus with that particular coloured dial.So I took several more glances at his watch and it confirmed it was a PP Nautilus. Since he was new and I didn't know him very well, I was up to asking him more about his watch.After coming home, I decided do a google search for a brown dialed Nautilus since it was the first time I seen it. However, I couldn't find any hits for an authentic stainless steel brown dialed Nautilus. But there were several replica watch sites that posted the watch my colleague was wearing. See attached pic I copied from one of the replica outlets.So was he wearing a fake? Or was that an authentic but rare model?
