TNT Challenger Black Luna Watch: Something Old, Something New, Something Awesome
Torsten Nagengast is a German-born timepiece enthusiast who has crossed the line. And by ¡°crossed the line,¡± I mean took the final step a watch enthusiast can take: from collecting fine timepieces to crafting them himself. Already lauded for his work on handmade projects featuring ¡°reclaimed¡± historical movements as well as an impressive one-off Unique Repeater in 18K with diamonds, Nagengast is now preparing to launch his next timepiece, branded TNT (Torsten Nagengast Timepieces), as an affordable triple calendar moon phase chronograph to be called the Challenger Black Luna. This is a follow-up to the similar?WatchUSeek Edition Rattrapante watch from September 2013 - that no doubt comes from the same person, but does not yet have the TNT branding.Quite frankly, we get a lot of Press Releases from start-up watch brands attempting to stir media enthusiasm about their new wares. While we do our due diligence to investigate and report on them to you, our dear readers, very few of them oft

Graham Geo.Graham The Moon Watch
A sky-style dial in deep blue and 18k pink gold is a very pretty thing in this new Geo.Graham The Moon watch by Graham. "Geo" stands for "George" who is the Graham guy that the brand is named after. George Graham was a British watch and clock maker from the 17th century. Even as the brand of today is totally Swiss, they still like to celebrate the English heritage of their namesake.This new timepiece is a lovely limited edition and quite high-end for Graham. Only 10 or 20 pieces will be produced (the press release and technical specs seem to disagree on the point of how many will be made), but its stunning design is certainly worth talking about. The watch begins with an impressively sized 46mm wide case (which is actually not large at all given the brand's Swordfish and Chronofighter collection of watches) in 18k pink gold. There is a blue sapphire cabochon in the crown - a not uncommon feature in watches but I always appreciate them. It also goes along nicely with the blue theme.The

Just Arrived: 23 jewel Lord Elgin manual wind.
I wasn't really itching to get another watch (yeah, right), but I was watching this on eBay, and no one had bid on at 5 minutes before it ended. This one slipped under the radar somehow and went for 1/2 to 1/3 of what other 10k and 14k Elgins are going for. Yeah meFirst off, the case and back is 14k gold, making it my first gold watch. I'll wait for GeneJockey's final pronouncement, but perusing his blog (scroll down to the stainless steel retirement watch), it seems I have a 23 jewel 775 manual movementI think Not sure whether this is a late 50's or early 60s watch.I thought the the second hand might be a replacement and wrong for this model, but it matches the one pictured on the watch on his blog. The only question mark is the crown Color wise it matches the watch, but it lacks the Elgin moniker. Now to the watch. It is in very good condition, but not perfectbut I'm more than pleased. The back of the case has a few marks where someone along the way tried to pry the back of

How do I ding thee,let me count the ways
The only way to keep a watch in pristene condition and unmarked is to never wear it.I realize that many WIS are extremely protective of their watches and even wipe them down after a day of rigorous wear under cuffs at the office but let's face it, if you wear it it will look worn!!The other day I wore my Seiko Kinetic Diver (yellow dial) and as I disengaged my seatbelt,the belt buckle whacked the watch and I got a nice bezel scratch.It looks good!!!There are plenty of perfect watches to look at -at the AD.I like the fact that mine will eventually show signs of appreciation.Back to topic.How have you dinged or scratched your watches?
