Xeric Halograph Watches A Kickstarter Success, With Affordable Prices & Unusual Designs
Between the various crowd-funding platforms that are available, there has been an explosion of new watch brands (and watches) entering the market. Some of these are derivative and really do not offer anything new or unusual. Past that, many are first-time efforts from some folks you have never heard of, so it is definitely not zero risk for backers. With the Xeric Halograph, we have a rather unique look coming to us from a familiar name in the watch industry.First off, who is that familiar name? Unless you have kept a close eye on Kickstarter projects, Xeric is likely not familiar to you. Well, have you heard of Watchismo?

The Xeric Halograph is not their first foray into this creative side either, as they earlier had a successful funding campaign for their Xeric Xeriscope.You could easily view the Xeric

Introducing: The Vacheron Constantin Overseas Ultra-Thin Perpetual Calendar
Vacheron Constantin is showcasing updates and additions to its Overseas line this year, and so far we've seen new case shapes, new models (including one of our favorites, the Overseas Ultra Thin) and here we have a new perpetual calendar in the Overseas line as well.  This isn't the first time that Vacheron has done a perpetual calendar in the Overseas line – in previous years, we've seen (for instance) an Overseas Perpetual Calendar Chronograph.  However, this new model is a standalone perpetual calendar, and the production of a very thin, elegant perpetual calendar in the Overseas line seems part of a shift overall in the overseas collection towards the elegant side of sports/elegant watchmaking – and a welcome one. 1 OF 3 Well for one, it’s not a chronograph. Just a “plain old” perpetual calendar. The watch uses a caliber 1120 QP movement which is extremely thin (4.05 mm) and does not need to be adjusted until 2100. A

Just bought my 1st AP - and have a few questions
Hello everyone,Very happy to join the forums!My name is Larry and I just picked up my first AP.Which is also my first high end time piece.It's a stainless steel 44mm ROOI'm learning a lot from browsing the forums, but still have some questions I'm trying to get answered. So hoping someone more knowledgable can help me out.My first question is about the lume.Out of the box the watch appears to have none.It only glows after I hold it to direct light for a bit.If I wear it during the day, it doesn't glow at night....only if I charge it by holding it up to a light. Is this normal/common for a brand new watch?My second question pertains to the watch running a few seconds fast each day.I set the time to match the time.gov website24 hours later I see that it was 20 seconds ahead.Is this also normal, or something that I should bring in to get checked out.And lastly, my third question is about a watch winder.I wear this maybe once or twice a week. I don't mind the watch dying and then winding i

New Avenger II GMT - Wow!
This totally flew under my radar - Breitling has apparently revamped their Avenger line, making the cases slimmer, among other things - which I think is great!This new GMT looks gorgeous to me, a perfect tool watch, and a very capable diver (minus bezel), at 300m water resistance!What do you think?!

904 or 1312?
I have many doubts between two watches that interest me. One is 1312 and the other is 904 (Due Line 42 mm). Can you help me decide?
