Gilt Michael Bastian Smartwatch Engineered By Hewlett-Packard?
The?vast?potential?of?the smartwatch market is apparently now bringing some complete outsiders to this 21st century branch?of watchmaking. One of these early adopters is?Giltwatches-dealer, a major, US-based online shopping site?that just announced it is teaming up with designer Michael Bastian and tech-giant Hewlett-Packard to design and engineer what will officially ¨C and somewhat weirdly ¨C be called the Michael Bastian Smartwatch.As most of the news about smartwatches does at this point, the Michael Bastian Smartwatch promises us the world and some more ¨C but whether or not it will deliver is something we will only see at the end of the year. Gilt opted to announce their first watch with just two rather secretive images, which makes believing their high hopes all the more difficult.?Before getting to the rather?optimistic?list of features and promises of Gilt's first?smartwatch, however, let's take a step back to see what?are the reasons for us?to remain highly realistic when it com

Editors' Holiday Watch Wish List Buying Guide For 2013
For 2013, the watches-dealer watch gift guide will take the form of an editor's and contributor's wish list. Some of the editorial team has gone ahead and chosen a few of the timepieces from last year that are really high on their list. These are mostly newer watches, but ones that should be available for purchase now. So for this holiday season you'll get a good idea of what we've personally wanted, and we didn't include crazy stuff that no one can get, even if they could afford it.What you may find interesting is how often watches get put on the same list. We've made it possible for the same watch to appear as many times as people choose them. Often guides will have each person choosing separate items so that we can maximize the opportunity to discuss as many watches as possible. These lists are completely pure and you'll get a good indication of what some of the most popular watches are going to be.Ariel AdamsOmega Speedmaster Co-Axial Chronograph Dark Side Of The MoonThe internal w

Bradystraps"Avenger" Waterproof Sailcloth Strap Prototype is ready!
I have been working hard on this one and finally have something to show. This will be our first waterproof dive strap. Inspired by our Original Sailcloth Strap, this strap was designed to be the most comfortable dive strap on the market. Coupled with great looks we hope we have a real winner. The prototype buckle has the wrong font and size of our brand name so please excuse that. The production version will be much smaller and the font will not be italic. The strap will be offered in 22 and 24mm and in the following stitch colors:*White *Black *Steel *Gold *Orange *Red *BluePlease chime in and let me know your thoughts. Best,Todd @ Bradystraps

Your Opinions on a"TRUE" Post-War Elgin Pershing Project
Hey guys !If you guys remember a gentleman named Greg Ochs sent me a scan of an Elgin Pershing watch ad from the February 22, 1919 issue of Literary Digest. Sense that day I have been obsessed with building one to the EXACT specifications in the ad and some progress has been made. Believe it or not but the hardest part of this project so far has been finding the exact set of correct hands that are pictured in the artist's rendering. Note that in the picture the hour hand has an very unusual long shaft going out to the spade section and that the spade section is much smaller than the usual ones that can be found. I have nearly 20 hours into this hand alone! Searching for hours on end to find the correct hand can drive a person mad and then it has to be the correct size too boot! Now for the minute hand. I can honestly say that I haven't ever seen an Elgin luminous minute hand in this configuration. I have done countless Elgin watch restorations from this period and that this hand does n
