President Bill Clinton Visits Detroit-Based Shinola
President Bill Clinton, founder of Clinton Global Initiative and the Clinton Foundation, visited Shinola in Detroit today. The Foundation has economic empowerment as a core mission, so the visit to Detroit makes sense. It doesn't hurt that Mr. Clinton is a major watch collector. Clinton wore a Timex Ironman and LIP watch while in office, but since has been seen wearing watches made by Jaeger-LeCoultre, Roger Dubuis, Rolex, Audemars Piguet and Panerai.The Detroit watch factory (we also visited about a year ago) is inside the College for Creative Studies in Midtown Detroit. Shinola also makes bicycles, journals, leather goods, and yes, that famous shoe polish.President Clinton said, "Shinola is a great example of how we can continue to build and expand America's manufacturing capabilities while creating jobs. It's exciting to see how the brand is playing its part in the economic revitalization that's happening in the city of Detroit." Also touring the factory with Clinton were Detroit Ma

YEMA Diving Chronograph Watch Winner
Thank you Ron for doing a video follow-up of the YEMA Diving Chronograph watch Ref. YMHF0202. He is the winner of the YEMA watch giveaway that was given away here in March. Here are some words from him:"I just received the Yema Diver Chronograph this evening and I really enjoy this watch. It is very comfortable for being such a large watch. The Chronograph and the Alarm function easily. I didn't have to spend the evening figuring out the settings, it is very intuitive. The alarm itself is very sonorous, not to jarring and is loud enough to wake you. The bracelet is large and uniform in size. I own a Speedmaster Professional and Rolex GMT and the bracelet is very comfortable for not being tapered. Honestly I was looking for a black or tegimented watch and I am pleased with how this watch looks. It is very easy to read in full sun and the luminous hands and markers are clear at night. The screw down crown and pushers are easy to manipulate. Overall this is a great watch. Again thank you

A Classic Vintage Watch, Circa Now: The Jaeger LeCoultre Master ControlGeographic
Imagine a crisp fall, Sunday. Cold enough to wear a sweater, hot enough to subdue the top on your vintage Mercedes SL. You and your beloved are directed to Manhattan after a weekend in the country. And what is on your wrist as you admire the foothills of the Hudson Valley? The Jaeger LeCoultre Master geographic control, it is, of course. If you think chic and classical words should always be used in tandem, it is the watch for you. Brown leather band perfectly accompanies the case of stainless steel and transports you at a time when metal bracelets were worn only on the sports watches. Unlike the more complicated watches, which may begin to look confused, the face of this Jaeger has a simple, clean look.

I have told myself this will be my last for a while so I really want to make it count!I will be married in September and I guess kids come next so they(it) will be my priority so no luxury items for a while. :(I personally believe a black and a white are absolute staples with a SubND and DJ 41 White and would love to expand on my collection for some more colors.I am thinking either:HulkBluesyDJ 41 Blue fluted/jubileeTwo Tone DJ 41 champagne dial fluted/jubileeYachtmaster RhodiumSo TRF...
