Christopher Ward C9 5 Day Small-Second Chronometer Watch
Christopher Ward is nothing if not ambitious when it comes to their flagship pieces. From the C9 Jumping Hour to the C900 Single Pusher Chronograph, and now, the new Christopher Ward C9 5 Day Small-Second Chronometer, CW has seen their partnership with Johannes Jahnke give birth to a number of innovative and appealing pieces. With this new C9 model, Christopher Ward is mixing traditional British marine chronometer aesthetics with an appropriately romantic hand-wound caliber - all for a price that may surprise you.One year after the release of the automatic calibre SH21 in the C9 5 Day Automatic, Christopher Ward has expanded the C9 5 Day line up with a new and somewhat more classic Christopher Ward C9 5 Day Small-Second Chronometer. This new hand-wound model has a 40mm hand-finished steel case that is 12.2 mm thick, with anti-reflective sapphire crystals front and back. The metal dial is white with black roman numeral markers and a railway minute scale. Completed with blued steel hands

Review Of A Sampling Of Options From Da Luca Straps
When it comes to watches, many folks probably do not give much thought to the strap, other than making sure they like one that the watch comes with. For those of us who have fallen down the rabbit hole of watch appreciation and collection, then things like watch straps get more attention. As we have said here time and again, changing out the strap of a watch can really change its character, especially if you go with something that is particularly colorful. With that in mind, today, we will cover three different watch straps we had in from Da Luca Straps.When it comes to watch straps, you have all manners of companies vying for your attention. You can get downright affordable ones that allow you to pick up a variety, or you can go the fully custom route, made out of some very high-end leathers.

Vintage chronometer...
I thought that I would contribute a review of an exceedingly rare, vintage manual-wind chronometer in order to help jump-start this new forum. It is cased in 18k yellow gold, and features a superb 17 jewel cal. 27 O S movement. The "27" refers to the dimension of the movement (27mm), the "O" denotes ore (i.e. gold), and the "S" denotes sweep second. The movement is a highly finished and adjusted version of the well-known cal. 12.68ZS workhorse. This particular movement dates to 1955, and, thanks to the helpful people at the Longines Museum, I can add that the watch itself was invoiced in October of 1959 to Longines' U.S. partner, Wittnauer. Thanks to Bill (in Sacramento), who has access to a Swiss Watch Journal for the year in question, out of 73,000 overall, Longines received 73 chronometer certificates for wristwatches from St. Imier in 1955. This underscores just how few of these chronometers were produced by Longines. In fact, I have only seen one other in private hands, and that
