Casio Bluetooth Watch For Smart Phones
News about this Casio watch concept has been everywhere. People seem to be more excited about what it is able to do than Casio is. This is partially evidenced by its circa 1987 G-Shock design. This however is a mere prototype - meant to show off the concept. That concept being the ability for a watch to sync via Bluetooth with a phone - and not have pathetically poor battery life in the process. Sure this Casio Bluetooth watch isn't the first timepiece that allows you to connect your phone to your watch, but all of those previous watches needed to be charged really frequently. This watch would need a battery change each two years like a normal (non solar powered) Casio quartz watch.The secret? Something called BLE, which stands for Bluetooth Low Energy. This new profile requires much less energy to move information from two Bluetooth connected devices. Though I did also hear that this is a feature of Bluetooth profile 4.0 - something that is currently not available on any phones. So wh

Watch Spotting: Roger Smith Wearing A Vintage Omega Seamaster Chronograph At The Screening Of The Wa
Last night at Tribeca Cinemas in New York City, we were proud to attend the NY premiere of David Armstrong's The Watchmaker's Apprentice. The documentary film, shot in very last days of master watchmaker George Daniels' life, goes on to tells us not only of Daniels' contributions to horology, but also his relationship with his one and only true apprentice – Mr. Roger Smith. We'll have a recap of last night's events shortly, but first, we wanted to tell you what Roger Smith, arguably one of the finest watchmakers alive, was wearing. It might surprise you. 1 OF 1 One might assume Mr. Smith would be wearing one of his own watches – maybe a Series 2 or a Daniels Anniversary watch? Not so. You see, Mr. Smith's workshop of eight people (himself plus seven watchmakers) produces just 10 watches per year. Ten. So, if he were to take one piece of the production out for himself, that would limit his profitability by 10% and he simply can'

112 on JV
Psyched to finally be JV'd! The last OEM strap I purchased was a dark brown Riva at the Florence boutique during my honeymoon in 2011. While there, the Panerai rep showed me both the gold and dark grey JV options and while I thought the nubuck alligator was cool, I liked the look of the Riva strap better. Once I returned home and started researching the JV, I was sold on the killer patina photos of the straps after some wrist time. I recently found a gentleman selling an unworn/unmounted JV in the right (standard) size and it was delivered today. I love it. It is a bit more of a muted gold color in person than I expected - despite my photos making it look like every other JV strap I've seen on the Internet - but it was almost immediately comfortable on my wrist and after a lot of aftermarket purchases it's great to have another killer OEM strap for the 112. It's also nice to have a lighter colored, dressier option to break up all the darker leather ammo straps I've been buying lately,
