Watch Winner Report: Frederique Constant Classics 315
Below you'll find a watch winner report from Caroline H., who was one of three lucky winners in the December 2012 watches-dealer Frederique Constant trip and watches giveaway. She was one of the second prize winners who received her own Frederique Constant watch of choice. Below you'll see her thoughts on her new Frederique Constant Classics 315 timepiece. Thanks to her and everyone else who participates in the monthly giveaways."Looking at FC's extensive collection and trying to choose one or two watches was extremely difficult! I wanted a woman's automatic, but I also wanted some complication or special display that I wasn't likely to acquire any other way (at least until I won another contest at watches-dealer). In short, I could hardly wait to see which of my four very different watch choices Fr¨¦d¨¦rique Constant would select for me. When the box arrived there was a tantalizing amount of packaging froufrou to wade through.Once I got past the beautiful leather box I was delighted to

Gruen complete calendar watch--have you seen one like this?
Screen Shot 2013-09-26 at 5.31.15 PM.jpgObviously this one is in bad shape, but I really didn't realize that Gruen made such a beast. I truly thought the complete calender was more a modern incarnation.Anyway, anyone have a restored one that you could post pictures of and of course, any background info would be interesting.

Regatta Watch Timers (An explanation)
The Hamilton Regatta watches are built for sailors participating in racing. Unlike a race car, sailboats or yachts don't have brakes and don't run on solid ground. So they can't move up to a starting line, all in a row and and "start their engines". Established before each race there are starting procedures. These procedures spell out how much time they have before their race starts...For example the Navy Regatta Alarm has built into it timers for three starting procedures, 10min, 7min and 5min..If you are in a 7 minute starting procedure race, you start your timer when they give you the signal. During this 7 minutes you are sailing around BEHIND the starting line with the other boats in your race. You make several dashes in the direction of the starting line without crossing it so you can get an idea of your speed. Having an idea of your speed you try to get in a position to make a run at the starting line as close to the end of 7 minutes as you can...The best you can do is hit the s
