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

Bid On Impressive Watch Collection Seized From Ponzi Scheme Villain
You've probably been seeing this picture a lot as infamous ponzi scheme wiseguy Scott Rothstein's massive watch collection goes up for auction this week. Let me tell you right away that if you want to bid, it needs to be right now. Sorry for the late notice, but according to the official documents, all bids need to be in by July 12th (see the link below for more info).Scott Rothstein might have been the worst type of smile in his business practices, but he was a rather accomplished watch collector. In contrast to all the other random expensive crap he had (like a gold toilet seat), his watch collections shows a true amount of time and dedication. In addition to standard fare like a bunch of Rolex and Franck Muller pieces, Scott had more exotic items such as Gerald Genta, Pierre Kunz, Jorg Hysek, Daniel Roth, BRM, and more.The collection includes both high-end and very high-end models, as well as men's and women's pieces. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the range of piece in t

Edox Class-1 Chronoffshore Limited Edition Watch
This new watch from Edox ain't half bad, however, it just might irritate Audemars Piguet with the Chrono-offshore name. I know it is supposed to be Chronoffshore but I want it to have an extra "o" so badly. Edox has been playing with their chronograph sport pieces for a while - some really hit and some really miss. This one is certainly a good looker with mostly black and silvery white mixed in with a little blue.Not the first watch Edox made in its place as the official timekeeper of Class-1 powerboat racing, this new model is clearly the best. You see how I've placed an image here of one of the Class-1 boats. These aren't for stately wind-powered yacht races, these are all engine. The new Chronoffshore watch comes in a 43mm wide PVD black steel case that is water resistant to 500 meters. We've seen this case before but it still looks good, especially with its large pushers. It is hard to understand what the bezel looks like in real-life given these images. It is black on black? Black

Very interesting article on German Chronometers
chronograph -Fine watchmaking, made in Germany Deutsche ChronometerBecause the sought after Swiss COSC seal is not available for watches of German origin, the Wempe company has set up a chronometer testing facility in the old "Urania" observatory of Glash¨¹tte where testing and calibration can once again be carried out, with the official blessing of the state measurement and calibration services of Thuringia and Saxony and the accreditation of the German Calibration Service, Chronometers, in accordance with the German standard, DIN 8319.To this day, German chronometry remains closely linked with the name of the family business. Its origins go back to the foundation of the Hamburger Chronometerwerke, bought in 1939 by Herbert Wempe, who recognised the potential as a training and production establishment for precision timepieces and was soon making ship¡¯s chronometers with a world-wide reputation.In the Glash¨¹tte chronometer testing facility, however, it is, to begin with, only wristwatch
