Introducing the Defakto Kinetik
Defakto is a German watch brand known for its commitment to minimalist design. Alongside Limes and Archimede, Defakto is owned by the famed Ickler family, who has been in the business of producing high quality watchcases in Germany since 1924. Defakto was founded in 2009 by Raphael Ickler, whose minimalist vision has guided the brand since day one. In the past, we've reviewed a number of different watches from Defakto's catalogue, among them the Akkord, the Akkord Modular, the Eins, and the Detail. Each watch was expertly executed, punching well above their weight with impressive fit and finish. Last week Defakto quietly revealed their newest watch¡ªthe Kinetik¡ªand it's the coolest one yet, boasting a design ethos that exemplifies simple done right.The Kinetik comes in a 3-piece case housing an ETA 2824-2. At 39mm, the Kinetic is a great subdued size relative to the rest of the market, and it's also the smallest watch Defakto currently makes. The stainless steel case is available in two

hamilton watches in classic film
i love old film noir classics and recently viewed "Crime Wave" made in 1954A great storya hard-boiled cops and robbers story in which an ex-con who's trying to go straight gets sucked into a plot to rob a bank. The great Sterling Hayden stars as the ultimate tough-guy cop. The producers originally wanted Humphrey Bogart in the role but the director insisted on Hayden.Anyways, there's this scene before the heist in which all the criminals are looking at their Hamilton watches...different Hamilton models for each individual.GREAT film...thought you'd like to know.

My journey through the world of watches (so far...)
The first time I had enough money to buy a nice watch (by my definition, anyway) I was lucky enough to find a Seiko SQ100 Moon Phase with a blue face that I thought was one of the nicest looking watches I'd ever seen.Next, I bought a Movado with a cream face that had the date on the dial outside the numbers, and a hand that pointed to the correct date - that was only a year or two after the Seiko.After a while, I started thinking about rugged watches, and wouldn't really look at anything that wasn't at least 100M water resistant. That led to the sale of the Movado and the purchase of a series of Citizen watches. Then, on our honeymoon in 1995, my wife and I bought matching titanium Tissots (corny, I know...) A couple of years ago, I bought a Tissot PRS200 with a blue face, and not once did I get it wetter than washing my hands. I had a Casio that I used when we were on the boat or Sea Doo (which the boat was traded for). So, I figured I'd get another decent dress watch, and bought

Breitling Super Ocean "Heritage 46"
I had this beast strapped on my wrist yesterday. I liked it a lot. Especially the rubber strap: It has a facility in the clasp that allows for ultra-fine adjustment.Your thoughts??(source: this site where there is also more information about the watch).
