Cartier Ballon Bleu - 42mm

Introducing the Xetum Tyndall PVD LTD
For the 2013 holiday season, Xetum of California is releasing their second ever limited edition. Building off of the Tyndall design, this special version will have a PVD case, black trappings and a carbon fiber dial.The Tyndall, which is perhaps our favorite of their watches, is a modern play off of a classic field design. With legible numerals in both 12 and 24hr scales, simple fence post hands, sub-seconds, and their standard 40mm lugless case, the Tyndall has a clean, restrained look with a masculine edge.We had the chance to see the new Tyndall LTD in person, and were quite impressed by how well the carbon fiber worked with the overall watch. As someone who is not typically drawn to carbon fiber (a bit too sporty and flashy for my taste), I didn't expect to personally like it. Well, I was pleasantly surprised by how subtle and effective it was. The carbon fiber adds texture and a dynamic finish to the back drop. This makes the white of the numerals jump out and almost appear as tho

Hamilton Titan I - Owners Tips Wanted!
Hello,I've recently added the first 'Electric' to my Hamilton collection - the 1958 Titan pictured. I fell in love with this watch the first time I saw it, sort of Art Deco meets Space Age (for some reason I've not warmed to the Ventura as much). Aesthetically the black and gold dial is stunning and the Electric/Patent Pending lettering are very cool in my opinion. Also being a Mad Men geek it transports me straight back to the late 50s/early 60s. The other reason I committed to this was the 500 movement - whilst being notoriously difficult to work with and unreliable there is something special about owning and wearing the first commercially available electric watch and all the research/work that Hamilton put into getting it out (albeit rushed) onto the market. All my other Hamiltons are 1940s era with 982 movements which I love but you can't help but admire Hamilton for investing in the 500 and 505 like they did. Whilst I play the waiting game for this to arrive in the UK I was wonde

anybody think a lot of watch people don't even consider Breitling?
I know for some people it just comes down to design, which is going to happen as everyone has different tastesBut then there are various reasons why people probably don't even think about buying a Breitling that to me sound pretty stupid The biggest being too blingy, like the people that call it Breit-Bling or B-Ling because all they can seem to think about is one or two examples of a highly polished Breitling, perhaps even with diamonds (usually blinged out by some rapper)Another common reason seems to be people think Breitling designs are too busy, i find this wrong as well because like any watch brand, there are designs with less going on and designs with more going onAnd lastly, you have some that don't think its a brand that is really worth what they cost, at retail maybe that could be true as you can find way better deals, but you gotta look at that as not just value on the watch, but also whatever warranties you get and the service you get from the place you buy it atSome also
