HYT H4 Alinghi Special Edition Watch
I've been waiting for this. The HYT H4 Alinghi Special Edition has introduced a significant dimension to HYT watches that was not there before: a second crown. But wait, I hear you cry, what on Earth can it be for? The HYT H4 Alinghi Special Edition is basically a clone of its predecessor, is it not? The movement architecture is practically identical to the H1! The calibre is skeletonized, but that's it: Where's the complication that requires a second crown?Well, in a funny kind of way, the crown is the complication. Hidden between 4 and 5 o'clock is a small generator, which is charged up by winding the crown. When depressed, the dial is bathed in a bright white light for a maximum of five seconds. The light source is two minuscule LEDs concealed by the 6 o'clock marker. This is an entirely mechanical process �C no battery. Nothing but good old gears and finger-twiddling. Another first for HYT.The effect of the LEDs is really quite something. Obviously, the red liquid which is used to i

Botta Design Watches Available Through Kenmar Watches
It is easy to talk about nice watches, it is harder to tell you where to get them. If only the watch industry had volume and distribution like the electronics industry. Perhaps someday. Until that point, you'll hear from me when I learn about a store online selling a desirable watch brand. Of course you will also see me point to eBay auctions.The online watch store, Kenmar watches is now selling a full line of Botta Design watches which I discussed here. This is worth noting as Botta Design watches are among the best looking and Bauhaus minimalist watches around, and for an excellent price. Their designs earned them a Red Dot award, and I am happy to see them becoming more available.My favorite Botta Design watch is the Helios Plus, which incorporates a spirit of pure legibility. Adding everything you need without anything you don't. The hour and minute hands align perfectly with the number markers, while the seconds display is in a subsidiary position. The result is a perfectly balanc

Maurice Lacroix Roger Federer Edition Watches
The other two watches inthe collection reflect the different sides of Federer. The Miros Chronograph is sporty and has a crown in the shape ofa tennis ball and a caseback decorated with a tennis ball design and Federer’s signature in red on the back. The thirdwatch, my personal favorite is the Pontos Small Seconds edition. It has the Roger Federer name on the dial and thesignature of the Swiss tennis star on the crystal caseback. It is the most elegant and understated of thethree.

Hi members,I see some talk about the omega dsom so wanted to share my experience. Well I got one, liked it since i first saw pics almost a year ago. It is a sharp, extremely comfortable (because it is so light), very accurate, very unique watch. Yes it is not cheap by omega stds. But I feel we also pay more than we should for Rolex as well ;)I suggest see it in person. Here are some pics. Wrist: 7 1/4Cheers

Advice required: Luminor Pam 537 or Radiomir Pam 628
Hi all,Im looking at getting my first Panerai. I tried on a Radiomir 425 SLC and was about to pull the trigger when my thespian of a mate showed me a picture of a hobnail dialled Luminor 537, which i thought looked fantastic.I then read that Panerai have just recently released a 45mm Radiomir hobnail dial (Pam 628).My concern is that at 42mm, the Pam 537 will wear small given that Panerais appear to be watches that should be larger in scale (im a reasonably fit fellow at 180cm and 100kg/220 pounds).Should i wait for the Radiomir Pam 628 or push on with a Luminor Pam 537?Any pics of you larger blokes with the smaller Panerai watches would be fantastic.Thanks in advance.Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
