SevenFriday V-Series Watch
So it has finally happened: SevenFriday have released a new collection ¨C or series, as they like to call them ¨C?with the?SevenFriday V-Series. It is the newest addition to the family that previously contained the P- and M-Series. While its forerunners were all 47mm soft-edged squares, the case shape of the V-Series is totally different. Two left side protrusions, housing a simple-but-smart FSC (Fast Strap Change) system, change the look of this watch entirely. In the same way Star Wars got creative with the shaping of their lettered craft, this watch kind of looks like a V that has toppled to its right and just decided to stay there.Aside from the obvious shift in silhouette, the SevenFriday V-Series features a round specially hardened and anti-reflective treated domed mineral glass and a more traditionally shaped dial. This design trait goes almost unmentioned in the press release. Not because it is a small change (I personally believe it to be seismic for the brand, and potentially d

Chef Anthony Bourdain And His Ernst Benz ChronoFlite World Timer Watch
I recently wrote about chef Mario Batali and the special Ernst Benz Chronoscope for in his honor/image. A lot of people felt very strongly about it. Some people liked it, some people didn't, but most sorta voiced a general dissent of Mario Batali himself. Well, the man does use lots of butter and oil in his cooking, but the orange watch done for him by Ernst Benz wasn't half bad. Mario Batali isn't the only celebrity chef to wear an Ernst Benz watch. One of my favorite TV chefs also has one, and can be seen wearing it his show on the Travel Channel, "No Reservations." I am of course talking about New Yorker Anthony Bourdain.He looks cool and eats just about anything. That is basically his shtick. Others have come after him to do the same, but no one is as suave about it, or seems to actually enjoy what they are eating quite like Tony. In addition to cooking, traveling, writing, and being on TV, Mr. Bourdain might also be one of us - a watch lover. Hard to say how he came to own his Ern

Need help finding my first Swiss auto, any suggestions???
OK, I¡¯m finally ready to step up to my first automatic movement and I¡¯ve been searching for something in the sub $500 price range. I¡¯ve been looking online and searching the forums and have somewhat narrowed my choices down to two. I am considering either the Accutron VX-200 series or maybe even a Victorinox Swiss Army Ambassador series. I like the ¡°day¡± feature of the Ambassadors but if the Accutron is a better quality piece I could live without it. I am also still open to suggestions. I¡¯ve been looking for a while now and even with all the research I¡¯ve done there are still many brands or models I haven¡¯t seen yet. My main criteria is Swiss made, SS w/metal band, skeleton back, nothing that looks too outrageous. Also I am not looking for any Invictas. Not that they aren¡¯t good watches (I have a Speedy Reserve) but I don¡¯t want to deal with any service issues, so I guess you could also say that CS is a factor for me as well. I read this forum all the time and it seems almost
