Sony FES Watch Re-Introduces You To E-Ink
E-Ink screen based watches seemed to be a big deal a few years ago, but they have recently become less popular for some odd reason. Is that going to change? Maybe. It turns out that Japan's Sony has been working on a secret e-ink watch under a skunks works company called Fashion Entertainments (FES) that is currently being crowd-funded (again) here on the Japanese site Makuake. Seiko seemed to begin the e-ink watch craze in 2007 when they introduced the very interesting and very expensive Seiko Spectrum - a bracelet-style watch with an e-ink screen totally wrapping around it.E-ink later found popularity in other more expensive Seiko watches such as EPD Active Matrix collection, as well as in less expensive models from brands such as Phosphor.? While news of the Sony FES e-ink watch has been around for a few months as a concept under the "TAKT PROJECT," what is new today is that Sony has announced it is behind the upcoming timepiece whose crowd-funding campaign is just about over (for t

Orient Dress Watches: The Best Budget Option?
Some believe that the cornerstone of one's timepiece collection is a fine dress watch. Others, however, may prefer spending their hard-earned cash on rugged sport and tool watches that don't really work under a shirt cuff. Enter the Orient Watch Company. If you're a guy who doesn't wear dress watches all the time, but you're in a pinch and need a classier option, there aren't many better options for a dress watch with these requirements, at such an attainable price.So even if you are a tool watch guy, you will nevertheless inevitably find yourself needing to wear a dress watch once in a while: for a sister's wedding, a job interview, or accepting an Oscar at the Academy Awards �C okay, George Clooney gets his comped by Omega, so never mind. That G-Shock or 18mm thick dive watch isn't going to cut it with a tux. And while there are dressier quartz watches widely available for reasonable prices, many a true watch lover is turned off by putting on anything but a true mechanical timepiece o

Red & Black German Racing Watch: Best Hued Temption Formula Rally Chronograph Available
I admit to loving this watch. It just exudes cool to me, but in a really understated way. This to me is a non-flamboyant, flamboyant watch. I've mentioned Temption Formula (and Classic) Rally watches before, but in my opinion this version is the nicest. Other models have yellow or blue trim coloring as opposed to the red in this watch. To me, the red contrasts the best with the black PVD case and dial, not to mention being the most powerful looking.Temption is a powerhouse little German watch maker that churns out a scant 700 watches a year on average. Why the limited production? Because that is about all one can produce and maintain high levels of quality and consistency. The president of the company is involved in most every watch, ensuring a high level of detail and craftsmanship. I own a different Temption watch (the Temption CGK203,which I happen to be wearing right now), and can easily attest to the joy of ownership. Unlike many German watches, Temption timepieces are not just ma
