Why Stuckx Watches Chose A Seiko Automatic Chronograph Over The Swiss ETA Valjoux 7750 Movement
Sponsored PostWe can promise you that starting up a micro watch brand is no walk in the park. Here is a little story about just part of creating the Stuckx watch brand which is currently on Kickstarter (and fully funded, so anyone ordering a watch now will certainly get one).Let's put it out there, you either use existing cases from one of many case manufacturers, put in a different dial and you are set to go and declare it as new on Kickstarter. This is happening under your eyes right now. OR you go the elaborate route and truly design your own watch. And look for the right suppliers for each part.Trust us, the latter route is the hardest one, but also the only one for us. Now we might have a better starting point than most: working together with an experienced designer who has been making watch designs for over 20 years did help�� Having sold other micro brand watches to end-users for over 7 years made us aware of customer expectations in customer contact and service. We, as you can

Citizen Satellite Eco-Drive Watch: Gets Time From Space
Atomic clock radio signal syncing watches are so last year. Citizen just decimated the coolness factor of those watches with the Satellite Eco-Drive watch. This timepiece isn't just a concept, but will actually be produced as a limited edition later this year - and may have its tech show up in later watches. In a nutshell, the watch keeps its time super accurate from syncing with the navigational satellites that orbit Earth as opposed to syncing with radio signals that are broadcasted from local atomic clocks.Atomic clocks lose one second of time every 100,000 years or something like that. Maybe even longer. The point is that you'll be long dead before they are off by even a fraction of a second. Your standard quartz watch movement is accurate to within about 15 seconds a month. Syncing to an atomic clock is a good idea, and has traditionally been done in watches that do this by relying on radio signals that atomic clocks emit. However, there aren't atomic clocks all over the world, an

Back in the AP family
Some may remember my post from last summer regarding the unfortunate incident in Barcelona with my Bartorelli.I have been without an AP since then but have strived to correct that situation.Finally landed this one and couldn't be happier, even at 39mm it feels great!!!!!!!!Thanks for looking!

Specifying a unique PP
So let's say hypothetically Mr Stern rings you up and says we will make a unique piece for you. Here are the rules:1. You must pay for it. 2. You must promise to keep it. 3. You must promise to wear it. 4. Can be any current reference or one stopped in the last ten years. Let's have your suggestions. Mine is 5970 in steel or titanium with black face, red chrono needle (a la 5004t) and Breguet numerals. If they can put the split second movement in the 5970 case that would be great too!

Anyone own a 512?
I like the 42mm and thinner case. Anyone have one?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
