Romain Jerome Tattoo-DNA Watch
Romain Jerome's "DNA" watches have been inspired by fascinating events and achievements from human history, regardless of whether they happened on land, at sea or in the skies. What made the DNA watches famous is the fact that when making the case, the dial, or sometimes even the strap, they used materials closely related to these events. This made the stories feel much more tangible and helped to bring the concept to a more personal level. For the new "Tattoo-DNA" collection they spiced up this idea with a unique collaboration, as the brand worked together with Mo Coppoletta, founder of world-famous London-based tattoo studio The Family Business.This time, the brand reaches out to "the world of sailors with its wealth of traditions and cultural customs" and - you guessed it! - tattoo art, in an effort to embody the legend of the sailor's grave. Tattoos, sailors, graves, London, DNA and fine watchmaking - at first these sound more like a random selection of words from a modern men's ma

Tutima Grand Classic Chronograph Watch
Nice timepiece and something pretty different from Tutima right? I got to check out this watch direct from Tutima who was nice enough to show it to me while I was at JCK in Las Vegas. This is one of Tutima's new timepieces that was released at Basel and represents a bold look maintaining a very high level of functionality. Tutima is located in Glashutte Germany right around a few other famous German watch brands. What I really like about the watches is that you can see a Tutima watch from the 1920s and you can recognize it as being from the same brand as Tutima watches of today. They have done an excellent job of keeping the character and heritage of the brand intact. Two major parts of that are the signature coined bezel (not on all their watches though), and the classic looking hands.Part of the new trend of Tutima watches is making larger cases which are now around 44mm wide. This Grand Classic Chronograph is 43.5mm wide and 15.8mm tall. The case is beautifully retro and constructed

The Value Proposition: The Montblanc Heritage Chronometrie Ultra Slim
The Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie Collection was launched earlier this year at the SIHH, and it includes a number of watches that have attracted, for very good reasons, a great deal of attention, including the Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph Vasco da Gama, the Montblance Heritage Chronométrie Quantième Annual Vasco da Gama, and the very nicely done and very practical Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie Dual Time. It also includes a watch whose merits are easy to miss at first glance, and which we finally had a chance to look at up close and personal recently here at HODINKEE.  That watch is the Heritage Chronométrie Ultra-Slim. 1 OF 6 The Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie Ultra Slim is Montblanc’s entry in the world of watches that are ultra-thin, or extra-flat, or ultra-fine, or whatever you want to call them as we pointed out in a recent story on one of the finest of the ultra-fine

My PO at school!
I just thought I'd share some pics of my PO at school. its the IUPUI campus in downtown Indianapolis, where I attend the IU Kelley School of Business. The pictures of the elevated train are of the Monorail that I take to school, thus avoiding the parking nightmare. Interestingly the train cars, like my watch, are Swiss made!
