Magrette Limited Edition Kupe's Voyage Watch Giveaway
Being a brand new owner of this exact watch, I can say this this is a giveaway worth entering. Magrette is New Zealand's only watch maker and certainly does the nation proud. I will be presenting a full review of the Magrette Kupe's Voyage watch, but until then you can enter to win one yourself. Founder Dion McAsey is what I call a "master of presentation." He knows how to give you a special warm feeling when you not only see the watch, but in how you experience the theme and story of the timepiece, as well as the actual presentation box and packaging. The giveaway is for the very last of the 10 limited edition watches.The Kupe's Voyage watch is part of a limited edition of just 10 watches - this is ultra exclusive, and you can be the proud owner just by entering. The watch is based on the base Magrette Regattare watch, but with the beautiful engraved bezel. What I love about Magrette watches is their use of Auckland area craftspeople to give the watch a special character not found in

Vol. 5 Vintage Spot - A Trio of Classics . . .
A Trio of Classics . . . Prior to 1928, if one was interested in purchasing a new Hamilton, the choice was pretty simple ¨C the Cushion, the Square, the Oval, the Tonneau or the Barrel. The defining difference in each model was the choice, ¡°engraved¡± or ¡°plain.¡± There was no choice in movement either ¨C each model was offered with Hamilton¡¯s workhorse, the 17-jewel 987 movement. All told, Hamilton's "Geometric" offerings spanned ten years - beginning in 1917 with the 0-sized Cushion and ending in 1927 with the Oval.But that all changed in 1928.
