Hands-On: The Urwerk UR-1001 ¡°TITAN¡±
Remember the Urwerk UR-1001 Zeit Device? It was a crazy complicated pocket watch of sorts that kept time in increments ranging from one second on up to the passing millennia. The device was introduced back in 2012, and it has remained something of a curiosity from the brand. While it never occurred to us that one might want to strap the Zeit Device to the wrist, that’s exactly what Urwerk has done with the latest iteration, the UR-1001 “TITAN.” It has all the craziness of the pocket watch, but this time with a removable wrist strap. 1 OF 4 The UR-1001 “TITAN” gets its name from the new titanium case. The original was stainless steel with a AlTiN (Aluminium Titanium Nitride) surface treatment. The remains largely untouched, including its dimensions, which clock in at 106 mm x 62 mm x 23 mm. The new case is far lighter, in both appearance and weight, now appearing more silvery than the black of the original. 2 OF 4 Like other Urwe

Watch Time 2009 Buying Guide
I had the opportunity to flip through the Watch Time 2009 Buying Guide at the bookstore today. Holy smokes! There are some crazy expensive watches out in the price range stratosphere. I can't even imagine what it would be like to be able to plunk down the coin for a $100k watch.It was fun looking through all the watches though there were a lot of really expensive watches that I didn't find all that attractive and a few crazy looking ones like this Concord Tourbillion and the Mr. Roboto watch (yikes) I found it interesting that out of all the myriad of brands featured there wasn't a single Invicta in the entire magazine. Curious.

I showed some self control today...
And it was difficult.I was out and about, stopped into a couple AD's, and tried on some really nice pieces. I somehow managed to get back home without buying anything. I tried on several Breitlings, and was really impressed with the weight of the watches. Definitely would like to add one (or more) to the collection eventually. I really liked the larger size of many of their offerings. The salesman even gave me a really nice Breitling catalog, which has got to be 100 pages or more.Also went to a Rolex AD, and tried on a few different models. This was the first time I've actually ever had authentic Rolexes on my wrist. I wasn't sure what to expect, and was hoping to be blown away. I can't necessarily say that was achieved, but I couldn't help but notice the watches oozed quality. Although they aren't really large in stature, in my opinion, they just felt solid and tight (for lack of better words). I tried on a couple Date Justs, a Yachtmaster, a Submariner LV (I think that's the

The Elusive Panerai 507 Bronzo
After years of longing for this watch I finally had an opportunity to acquire it. It's truly an amazing time piece.993-1.jpg

Charm of Pepsi
Well despite my new D-Blue and current BLNR, I am finding my 16710 Pepsi more and more timeless and enjoyable to wear.Yes it¡¯s not as high tech as the other models, but I¡¯m starting to like this old Pepsi more and more every time i wear it. The size is just ideal and the colour is so refreshing.Originally I upgraded my old LV into 6 digit models but now I am appreciating the 5 digit beauty more and more.Happy Friday everyone :)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
