Factoid of the Day - Super Bowl Sunday
New England Patriots' quarterback Tom Brady was hired to flog Movado's 800 series sportswatch. Here are his comments: ¡°Movado is all about style and precision and that fits exactly what I try to bring both on and off the field, so I hope it¡¯s a long term association. A professional athlete¡¯s life is highly scheduled. I practically need military discipline to keep pace, so time is definitely something I¡¯m interested in.¡±

Damasko Question from a New Guy
I've been visiting this forum for awhile gathering information & impressions about different quality watches. After a lot of research I decided to get a Damasko DC56 Chronograph & it was delivered yesterday. It seems to be a finely crafted piece of equipment but there's something about it that nags me. The sweep of the chronograph second hand(when turned on)does not move smoothly throughout its full rotation. There are places where it runs at a different beat, almost like a quartz movement, and the it runs smoothly like a mechanical movement. It does this at the same places on the dial consistently. I haven't noticed any inaccuracy in time keeping but it is troublesome for a brand new watch. I have an 8 yr. old Wenger Registered Model GST Air w/ the same Valjoux 7750 movement that runs smoothly throughout it's second hand rotation.Could this be an indication of a serious problem or something that will work itself out w/ use?
