CT Scuderia Automatic Mechanical Watches For 2013
Enrico Margaritelli's brand CT Scuderia is going mechanical for 2013. A while ago I offered a review of their Corsa Chronograph. The interesting design has a stopwatch-style case that some people loved and that some people were not drawn to at all. At over $1,000, some people felt that they would be more interested in the brand if they contained mechanical movements. CT Scuderia was a bit of ahead of everyone as they were working on mechanical versions of their watches from almost the start. Meeting with Enrico late in 2012, we talked about the future of the brand, as well as what the inclusion of the mechanical watches mean to to the brand.You can also check out our video interview with Margaritelli from that time below. A rather prolific designer, the CT Scuderia brand is among the few very "super Italian" watches he's designed. Without holding back much, there is a various degree of Italian flag spirit in the design. Some CT Scuderia watches have nothing inherently Italian about the

Zenith El Primero Tourbillon Watch
This is actually a tourbillon watch I would wear daily. Zenith's new El Primero collection of watches is a thing of beauty. I have been eying them for a while, enjoying how they look on the wrist. They have now announced a tourbillon version of it.Now most of the time when a company takes a new collection and shoves in a tourbillon I hardly take real notice, but in this instance Zenith has put together a satisfying set of feature that you could wear each day - assuming you can afford it of course.Let's pretend for a second that you can. There are two versions of the watch available. Each comes in a 44mm wide case. One is steel with a black and silver dial, and the other is in 18k rose gold with a silver and gold dial. The steel is my choice simply because I like the colors more - but each is quite lovely.Using the good looking new El Primero watch style case the the movement used is Zenith in-house made 4035D automatic tourbillon chronograph movement. Being a high-beat El Primero movem

So what are the contenders for your next Rolex purchase?
Howdy folks!So now that we're at the begining of a new year, what Rolex watch(es) are on your radar for consideration? Karen is due for another Rolex, so the next one I get may well be for her. She's been wanting a ladies PT/SS Yacht-Master for a couple of years now...more so since I helped her twin brother purchase a full-size PT/SS YM. He and I both have one now, so now she wants to be part of the "club." Later in the year, I'll start the search for my 40th birthday present (which won't come until April of 2010) - a yellow gold Day Date. A WG DD fitted with an ice blue dial, and YG Daytona are also on the "interested in/dream watch" list, but much less definite than the other two.How about you?

"I see Mr O'Young used to be a Hublot ambassador. Perhaps he didn't give them a 'big bang' for their investment.(or perhaps he

Working On The Vintage Valjoux 72 Chronograph Watch Movement.
I didn't like how this movement was running so I disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled with all the Moebius oils and greases, The amplitude was lower that I liked so I found a mainspring that was made for this movement that was slightly stronger and bought a new barrel and arbor and installed the new barrel assembly, I have two balance wheels, one with a older "blue" hairspring and one with a newer "silver" hairspring so I'm going to test both to see which one I like best.........
