Watch Making; The Industry Of The Niche Markets And Boutique Manufactures
You might be wondering what Voltron has to do with watch making. Well, nothing actually, though I did think this segment of Voltron forming was cool. It also helps me illustrate a point about the watch industry, and how a good watch is really made up from the efforts of several entities working together.When you see a new watch that you like. You pick it up and may think to yourself, "they really make a nice watch." This would be the logical thing to say, but a more accurate statement a lot of the time would be, "they assemble a really nice watch." And sometimes not even that. Don't kid yourself into thinking that most small watch makers and brands (both large and small) are able to make and design everything themselves. You already know that for the most part, watch movements are all sourced, and more often than not, the components that make up your watch come from many places.None of this is necessarily a bad thing, and small watch makers are often proud of where they get their parts

Hands-On: With The Calibre De Cartier Diver, Now In Black ADLC
At the 2014 SIHH, Cartier shocked most of us watch geeks by showing a piece that no one would've expected ¨C?a dive watch. And not just any dive watch, but a really strong diver, which?was even ISO certified. This year, Cartier showed a modest update to the Calibre de Cartier Diver that gives it a whole new look?¨C?it's now available in black. 2 OF 4 The Calibre de Cartier Diver is a really well balanced watch, and with black rotating bezel off-setting the dial that mimics the Chronograph. What is so nice about this watch is the overall thinness and great wearability on the wrist ¨C?it is surprisingly thin and refined. 3 OF 4 There are no technical differences with the new ADLC-coated diver, and while the look is certainly very similar to the original, the sleek black nature of the case adds a bit of stealth to this watch. The case back on this watch remains closed, just as it should be on a diver. 4 OF 4 The new Calibre de Cartier Diver ADLC come

The Swatch Group Classification
I was looking at this site: swatchgroup and found the classification that the "group" make for their brands...Honestly I thought that Hamilton was over Tissot, and not in the same rangeAlso I thought that Longines was somehow the same in quality as Omega, but it's a step below...Check it out if you didn't already knew this

How to tell if a watch is truly a diver's watch
How can one tell if a watch has been tested according to ISO 6425 (dive spec) vs ISO 2281 (recreational spec). According to wikipedia the word divers denotes dive spec, and water resistant denotes recreational spec. However many watches omit any words from the dial and just state a depth, and some watches which are dive spec use the words water resistant, at least in the website descriptions, such as the omega 2231.50.00. I would have expected that if a watch was certified the manufacturer would see fit to brag about passing standards. So my questions are, is a list of tested watches maintained? is there something else that I should be looking for when looking at watches?
