Mitt Romney's Election Time Wrist Watch
In November of 2012 the United States will hold another presidential election and if you are like me you are wondering, "what watches are the candidates wearing!?" Fortunately I don't vote based on watch preferences - which would be silly in this country because the watches our candidates wear are actually political signals these days. And by the way, my interest in the watches politicians wear is purelynot political.President Obama has been wearing the same watches for several years - being the Jorg Gray JG 6500 watch that I reviewed here. Obama is fiercely loyal to the watch having worn it since he was campaigning back in 2008. It was a gift from the secret service, which in turn ended up being a gift for Jorg Grayfrom a business perspective. Click on the link above for the full story on what happened with Barack and his Jorg Gray timepiece. It has become Obama's distinctive watch, and he is seen wearing it most all the time when he is in a suit.I don't know when it started but I wil

G Gerlach Navigator Review
Amongst vintage dive watches, few are as delectably cool as the dual-crown "super-compressors" (though only some are actual super-compressors)… in fact, we like them so much here at worn&wound that we have a whole article dedicated to them. Dual-crown divers have a certain refinement to them, balancing sport and more formal elements in, typically, compact cases. The results are true gentleman's sport watches, with an elegance that modern divers rarely meet.Unfortunately, they are few and far between, and though were once meant for the water, these days are better kept dry due to their age. So when a brand comes out with a modern dual-crown watch, it always piques my interest. A few months ago, G. Gerlach announced their Navigator model, and I immediately knew I had to review it. Not only did the pictures suggest that the watch had a great look, one that drew on vintage dive watches, but coming from Gerlach, I knew the pricing would be great too.Immediately out of the box, I w

Hands-On: With The Glash��tte Original Senator Chronometer Regulator (Live Pics & Pricing)
Earlier this year I had the pleasure of visiting Glashütte Original's manufacture in Saxony, and I was impressed with what I saw. This watch is a perfect example of what makes Glashütte Original a brand to watch. Released at Baselworld 2013, the Senator Chronometer Regulator is a modern take on the regulator longcase clocks that Glashütte was known for in the nineteenth century and both the dial and movement are worth taking a closer look at. 2 OF 14 The Glash��tte Original Senator Chronometer Regulator On The Wrist Starting with Glashütte Original's 42mm Senator case (in either red or white gold), the Chronometer Regulator is big enough to make the regulator layout highly legible while still sitting nicely on the wrist. Much bigger and the watch would feel clunky, smaller and it would be difficult to read at a glance. Also, at 12.47mm thick, the watch feels properly proportioned, neither thick nor thin. 3 OF 14 Closer Look At T

Grey market in the USA, on thin ice (legally speaking)
As reported in an earlier thread here (post 28/Jon)And from other websites...Watchtimefaegresupremecourt.govOmega Wins!This has been long, drawn out legal battle that Omega has finally won. The Supreme Court has sided with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, giving foreign importers more power (legally) on how their goods are sold in the United States. This will give Swiss manufatures (Rolex, TAG, etc) more power in controlling their distribution plans for the US. Also, it will give foreign importers more power to sue those that seek to import/sell their goods into the States without their consent.

You guys are the worst!
Wallet is a bit lighter. Wife is a little less happy.Incoming pics in the next 2-3 weeks. *sigh*...
