Jaeger-LeCoultre Boutiques Open In Vancouver And Toronto
Having grown up near Toronto and now residing in Vancouver, I was thrilled to hear that Jaeger-LeCoultre would be gracing both of these fine Canadian cities with their own boutiques. These boutiques are Jaeger-LeCoultre's first in Canada and, for watch fans that frequent either city, the addition is nothing short of exciting, as boutiques generally offer a wider selection and better access to special models than an authorized dealer might be able to provide.The dial details of the pink gold Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Universal TimeWhile Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal have access to Jaeger-LeCoultre via authorized dealers, these new brand boutiques boast key locations that should connect well with each city. As Toronto is a mall-heavy city (for you foreigners, it's a rather large and sprawling city), the Toronto Jaeger-LeCoultre boutique is located in the Yorkdale shopping center alongside many other watch retailers.The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Cylindrique ��

Bremont Kingsman Watches For & In "Kingsman: The Secret Service" Movie
Today, British watch company Bremont has announced?the Bremont Kingsman selection?of special edition watches. We have seen Bremont try to associate itself with quintessentially British products, such as Chivas Scotch Whisky or sports car maker Jaguar. This time around, Bremont hits the movies, as three slightly different models are released to mark the?role these watches play in Matthew Vaughn's?new film Kingsman: The Secret Service.Due to be released in February 2015, the film stars Colin Firth, Samuel L.

Zodiac Sea Dragon Limited Edition Watch In Bright Retro Colors
Zodiac is a Swiss brand with considerable heritage being founded in 1882 as Ariste Calame and registered in 1908 as Zodiac. Today the brand is continued under ownership from the Fossil Group. Zodiac had been a well-established manufacturer with quite some following thanks to its coveted lines of watches such as the - sadly discontinued - Sea Wolf, first introduced in 1953. Fossil, being the fashion-watch manufacturer giant as it is (making watches for DKNY, Emporio Armani, Michael Kors and many others), gave Zodiac a go in the fashion-watch market.?Now, with their newest Limited Edition Sea Dragon collection, they are about to follow two of the latest trends of the industry: retro styling and vibrant colors.We have not heard from Zodiac for quite some time now, and it's true that there have been some ups and downs in their previous collections.?They have been doing some very modern and generously sized (50-52mm) timepieces lately, like those in the Special Ops or the Sea Dragon collect

Tourneau Plugs Omega De Ville On TV: Next Watch Commercial Sighting
As predicted previously during my discussion of the Seiko Coutura watch commercial, it was predicted that more watch commercials would appear in this new wave of watch advertising. There is nothing inherently interesting about a product being advertised on television, but in the case of watches, it is a form of advertising rare of unheard of in the United States. It is a sign that watches are becoming marketed more, meaning higher availability, and more selection for watch lovers.The newest commercial viewing focused on the new Omega DeVille, but did not mention the model by name, just "Omega." And then the phrase "hour vision" which alludes to the fact that the watch case has sapphire crystal sides for viewing of the movement. Much of the commercial's imagery in fact focused on the watch's mechanical movement; indicating a return to the ideal of the mechanical watch. The 80's and 90's were not golden eras for mechanical watches in the US, but since the late 90's there has been a resur
