Anonimo Watches: A Rebirth In Florence, Italy
The birth - or occasional rebirth - of a company is always a noteworthy phenomenon in the galaxy of watch making.?It is so because it either grants us the chance to follow the formation of a new star that will shine on for decades or even centuries to come or the sight of a falling star, something that only temporarily existed and barely left anything significant behind. What we have now is the rare opportunity to take a closer look at the earliest stages of a watch brand's revival as I was among those invited by Anonimo to visit them in the beautiful Italian town of Florence. We gathered to discover and to discuss their plans for the future and also to?see where and how they will have their trademark brass cases manufactured.Those familiar with the brand will know that the creation of Anonimo in 1997 already meant a second chance, a new beginning in itself. It happened that year that Officine Panerai (which was also based in Florence at the time) was purchased by the Vendome Group of

Rare Round-Faced Citizen Campanola Perpetual Calendar On eBay
The key point of interest on a perpetual calendar watch is command of cosmic time. Knowing the date, month, leap year, year, and simply the time, gives the wearer some ethereal sense of reassurance. The funny thing is that you can get most of this information on a $150.00 digital watch, but it really just is not the same. The analog representation of this data somehow makes it seem more important and allows you to appreciate the cycle of time, rather than the mere elapsation thereof. Which I think is really why people like analog watches, the ability to see time in a loop, rather than merely counting away.The Citizen Campanola line of watches has been one of my favorites for sometimes now, and the Campanola Perpetual Calendar watch is an obvious focal point of the series. Most however are tonneau shaped, and not round as in this model being offered on eBay. The tonneau or "barrel" shaped watches have always been a bit strange shape in my opinion as they take the proper combination of l

Bracelets- winter vs. summer sizes
I go through this every year and it's annoying.At first it was so annoying I was resizing them, but now I wear what fits when it's cold and have them all basically sized for summer.The deal is in the winter, for example, my Seamasters are ALMOST big enough to rotate around my wrist, however, if I remove the half-link when it gets warmer in the spring they are so tight they leave marks.Luckily the others have micro adjustments, or I can just wear a strapped watch...but you know how I feel about those. Just wondering if you all have similar problems and do you resize them in the winter and summer or just leave them.
