Daniel Strom Angelus Watch
If you fancy a watch with engraved feathers and what look like naked male mannequins, the new Angelus by Daniel Strom could be perfect for you.? This timepiece is the thematic antecedent to the previous Daniel Strom Agonium that came out about two years ago. The Agonium focused on imagery of skulls and death (I called it the ultimate goth watch), while the Angelus is about angels - yet it still feels rather Gothic.Daniel Strom hand-sculpts the design on the tonneau style case, and it is available in pretty much any luxury metal you want. Sorry, no steel or titanium models. Why? Too hard to engrave - especially titanium. Wow, what a pain that would be. However, the Angelus case is actually two sections. An inner steel barrel and an outer section which is engraved. The Angelus design aesthetic is like "serious angels." Thematically serious to the point of being a bit creepy.

Introducing the Xetum Tyndall PVD LTD
For the 2013 holiday season, Xetum of California is releasing their second ever limited edition.

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

Which is expanding faster.....
..my waistline or my Longines collection? This one just in so excuse the q & d desk lamp shot:1953 14ct reference 2033 with a caliber 23Z. It meets the "ooooo, shiny" prerequisite. Picked up a mint dial & hands last year, and this watch had a redial. Shipped my stuff to the seller, and he did the surgery.

Whats your favorite watches/brands and why!
I'd like to hear some people favorite brands and models.I personally am a fan of the notorious Rolex Submariner, it would have to be my number 1, but aside from ranking brands, I am interested in possibly owning a SevenFriday watch, and a Bomberg watch, both newish companies with some unique designs and features.
