Watch Winner Follow-Up: Egard Shade Black
Below is a watch winning reader review from Jesse S. of Los Angeles, regarding the Egard Shade Black timepiece that he won on watches-dealer:As the winner of the October 2013 watches-dealer giveaway, I can tell you the Egard Black Shade limited edition watch fits in well in the city of Los Angeles. Dress codes are a rarity in LA, however, being functional as well as stylish is still the name of the game. The Egard Black Shade watch beautifully captures both of these elusive qualities while working as an elegant dress watch or a casual sport piece.Founded and designed by Ilan Srulovicz, the Egard brand is new to the watch scene.

Photo Report: Recapping Last Night's Event With HODINKEE And Manfredi Jewels In Greenwich, CT
Last night HODINKEE hosted a fantastic event with Manfredi Jewels at their beautiful boutique in Greenwich, CT. There was a great turn out of HODINKEE readers as well as local clients of Manfredi Jewels – with tons of watches to try on and the champagne flowing. 1 OF 22 Part of the reason Manfredi Jewels is so successful is that they continue to carry classic brands (like Breguet, Rolex, Vacheron Constantin, etc.), but also carry independent makers such as Ressence, F.P. Journe, and Laurent Ferrier – making the selection of watches interesting and fun. You may remember owner Roberto Chiappelloni and store manager Rob Weintraub from our visit last year, and from our event in conjunction with Tesla. Here are some of the best moments captured last night. 2 OF 22 3 OF 22 4 OF 22 5 OF 22 6 OF 227 OF 22 8 OF 229 OF 22 10 OF 22 11 OF 22 12 OF 22 13 OF 22 14 OF 22 15 OF 22 16 OF
