TAG Heuer’s Silverstone Chronograph Lives Again in 2010
To mark its 150th anniversary, TAG Heuer will re-issue the Silverstone Chronograph in February 2010 as a limited edition piece. Originally introduced in 1974, the Silverstone is instantly recognizable by its cushion cut-shaped case. Named for the famous racing circuit in England, the Silverstone followed the Monaco, incorporating TAG’s patented technical breakthroughs that made waterproof square and barrel-shaped cases possible. For the Silverstone, TAG Heuer's design team softened the Monaco’s angles. Both the original Monaco and Silverstone housed the Chronomatic Caliber 11, the first self-winding automatic chronograph with micro-rotor. Before the Caliber 11, chronographs were hand-wound and watchmakers placed the crown at 3 o'clock for easy access. Caliber 11 freed TAG Heuer's designers from this constraint, and Jack Heuer decided to place the crown of the Monaco and Silverstone at 9 o'clock. The reborn Silverstone is powered by an updated version of the Caliber 11 with
Maurice de Mauriac L1 Watch Designed By Fabian Schwaerzler
Zurich-based watch maker Maurice de Mauriac has just released the new L1 watch designed by the acclaimed (and award-winning) Swiss industrial designer Fabian Schwaerzler. The result is an attractively modern Bauhaus style watch that combines Swiss style with Germanic functionalism - which makes sense given that Zurich is in the German-speaking part of the country.In the future we will investigate what the relationship between Maurice de Mauriac and Fabian Schwaerzler is all about and how they hooked up. Oftentimes, big-name designers end up working with larger brands on special series timepieces with their unique aesthetic stamp. In this situation, Schwaerzler decided to work with a boutique brand, probably because it was a project of passion allowing the two an opportunity to focus on the product versus marketing and less fulfilling commercial matters (well, to artists that is).The L1 watch takes a familiar Maurice de Mauriac style case sized at 39mm wide in steel, and adds a domed AR

OMEGA and NASA - by OMEGA Watches - Official Facbook site
Haven't seen this one posted here before. I hope it's OK. First a link to the actual article;by OMEGA Watches - Official on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 at 4:28amThe NASA testsThe story of how the OMEGA Speedmaster became the Moonwatch – the only wristwatch approved by NASA for all manned space flights – has been re-told often enough that it is sometimes difficult to determine where the history ends and where the myth begins.The true story, without embellishment, is so remarkable that it’s worth a trip back to the 1960s to re-examine how the Speedmaster came to be considered in the first place, the nature of the strenuous tests to which it and four other chronographs were subjected and finally, how it was chosen over its competitors to accompany every manned space flight since the launch of the Gordon Cooper’s Faith 7 mission as part of the Mercury program on May 15th, 1963.Chosen to competeIt all began in the early 1960s when two NASA officials anonymously visited se
Planet Ocean Straps
Are they really $400-500? That's insane! No strap is worth that, unless it's made out of velociraptor.That really turns me off when I know I can buy a Hirsch or Modena of equal quality. Bracelets last, but straps are essentially consumable. They don't last.
