URWERK Black Cobra Watch: Can Comics Sell Luxury Watches?
While it is hard to give proper credit, Linde Werdelin is the first luxury watch brand that I know of that employed the use of comics (ahem, graphic novels) to sell high-end timepieces. They still do that, and certainly are going to carry that idea into the future. UPDATE: I just learned that I had it wrong. Linde Werdelin might have been the first to disseminate marketing comic imagery online (that I know of), but Urwerk had published comic content as far back as 2008 (republished here - thanks Ian).Now luxury brand Urwerk offers a new comic strip (see below to check it out). I think the idea is brilliant. Why has it taken until modern times to do this? Because stuffy people in luxury watch company's were afraid of diluting the "prestige" of their brands with dirty comic book. Pshwhat is this? 1986? Comic art has defined?? much of the last generation. What do you think rich people under 35 are going to associate with more positively. Cool graphic novel imagery for a new watch, or spon

Oyster Speedking?
I saw one of these at an antique mall today while looking for old Omegas. Even though it was a smaller sized watch (boys size?), it still appealed to me as I like the older (and smaller) vintage watches. Suppose to be made in the early 1960s. I can't imagine anybody's son getting one of these in the old days (before kids became spoiled rotten) so were these for boys or are they just a smaller sized watch?I did a search and didn't find any info. on this forum Can someone enlighten me about the Speedking model? Seemed pretty cheap too, for a Rolex? Thanks!John

New purchase w/pics
Another great deal from bailey banks and biddle.

Tom Arnold and Invicta
I was watching a pretty good interview with Tom Arnold the other night on the Piers Morgan show. I kept seeing Arnold's rather large and blingy watch. I looked like a gold chrono in rectangular shape with a big curved crystal. I couldn't place it, but was dying to know what that huge thing was. Looked expensive.Well, Piers mentioned it as a sign of success as they were talking about the perks of celebrity. Arnold says, "Yea, I get nice gifts like this." Piers sort of said the watch looked expensive. They did a close-up on the watch and I froze the image (of course). It was an Invicta!! I always find it interesting when a multi-millionaire is wearing a non-expensive watch. I wanted to post a pic of it from the web, but I don't know the model. Maybe someone here could post it and tell us about it and maybe Arnold's connection to Invicta.

My other two quartz watches
I just posted a thread showing off my two new Swiss Army divers where I mentioned I only owned four quartz watches;74.50.21.220/~watch18/forums/showthread.php?t=12590These are the other half of my quartz collection. The Mondaine is known well enough, But I think the Alessi is hardly known at all. At least, I never heard about it until I came across a review of the watch over at GMT+9;gmtplusnine/2007/09/07/on-the-record/I don't wear either of these watches, rather, they sit in a watch box on my writing desk where I can admire them for their simplicity.I do love the three hands.For the curious - that's me and my boy and then that's my late grandfather and me. Where's the time go?
