REFLECTIONS ON BASELWORLD 08 - 2008 Aqua Terra ushers the Seamaster into a new era
In September 2002 a new range of watches was unveiled by Omega. Remarkable perhaps that a watch in a classic mould yet visually striking should draw the sports-orientated Seamaster into the era of the Co-Axial escapement.Now nearly eight years later when Omega themselves are approaching the realm of a " manufacture ", the Aqua Terra line is once again the torch bearer for the Seamaster's passage into a new age. With Omega of course, something new brings forth a special creation for the enthusiast. This year's Aqua Terra is no exception. Indeed it is nothing but a timepiece of extraordinary beauty. An uplifting redesign that would headline any show.

The First Hamilton Wristwatches
Factory documents uncovered in the past couple of years (unfortunately long after my now out-of-print Collectors' Guide was published) show that Hamilton rather quietly entered the wristwatch market five years earlier than other factory records had indicated -- in 1917.As has so often been written, wristwatches were considered too feminine by most men of the era.

There are too much information on this site!

I haven't been really into watches until recently. Appreciating the craftsmanship, time in efforts, and functions of watches. I currently do not have any watch worth talking about. My current watch is a Emperio Armani that I have worn for about 3 years. I'm want my next watch to be more than one that was picked out of Macy's watch cases. Looking for something not real complicated and with a black leather strap. Something classy? Couple of brands I'm thinking of (but definitely not limited too)Bulova TissotFCStowaBudget is less than $500, although I've seen some great watches for $200.
