Sporty German Diver: Limes 1 Tausend GMT Diving Watch Available Right Now
A while ago I mentioned the new Limes Endurance 1 Tausend Diver watch that was due for release soon. The watch had a wonderful Germanic utility feel to it, and I looked forward to seeing one. The Endurance was a deviation on the existing Limes 1 Tausend (one thousand, as in the depth rating), which is pictured here.This particular watch has an automatic ETA 2893-2 movement, that includes the GMT complication. The dedicated GMT 24 hour hand is nicely done with a large red arrow providing nice visibility, without being too distracting. Actually, this is one of the clearest GMT diving watches I have seen.Limes, like Sinn is a maker of high quality, but aggressively prices German "sport" watches. One thing that makes Limes a bit unique is the fact that they make all their own cases. Most smaller watches companies essentially source most of their parts. This is not a problem, but Limes takes great pride in constructing well-made cases fit for their watches.Although 1000 meter watches are be

Patek Philippe Ref. 5960P Chrono Calendar: Nice And Classy If You Can Afford It
Patek Philippe is a star among watch makers. Almost like a higher class Rolex, Patek stays high among the uber-elite, and sneers down upon the lower classes of watches and people. This is where you get the sales people who treat you like your father cleaned their father's bathrooms. Regardless of their attitude, Patek Philippe is an innovator in the watch world, and they helped further the movement to bring back the mechanical watch when quartz watches looked to be taking over in the 1980s. Today Patek Philippe is among those watch makers who have a reputation for ultra-high quality watches whose value can actually increase overtime.Their latest foray is the Reference 5960P, the "P" standing for platinum. This is an innovative piece because it the first of it's type for Patek as an in-house monochronograh ("monocounter" chronograph). This means the chronograph time elapsation windows are within each other for the minutes and hours. The seconds hand for the chronograph is on the main di

Hands-On: With The Bremont MKI And MKII
At last year’s Concours D’Elegance in Pebble Beach, Jaguar announced plans to build six lightweight E-type coupes, exactly as they would have been produced in 1963. The original "Special GT E-type" project called for 18 cars to be built, though just 12 were actually finished. Now, more than 50 years later, the remaining cars will be hand-made and delivered bearing the six dormant serial numbers. To honor the event, Jaguar teamed up with Bremont to offer a watch to the buyers of these cars, each signed with the individual serial and engine numbers on the dial. And this year at Basel, Bremont announced plans to introduce two watches into regular production, dubbed the MKI and MKII, each based on the limited series and inspired by the car itself. 1 OF 4 Both the MKI and MKII will substitute the white gold and aluminum of the limited edition watch for polished steel, and while you won’t get a serial number printed on the dial, you will get the same

I was setting the time today and noticed that the seconds hand jerked backwards (counterclockwise) while adjusting the hour hand backwards. I was wondering if any other owners experienced this? Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
