HYT H2 Aviator Watch
Some people just don't get HYT watches. They struggle with reading the time from the "fluidic" hour indicator. For some, the new HYT H2 Aviator will make little sense, because aviation watches are traditionally the most legible and uncluttered of all. But this is not a pilot's watch: this is a modern timepiece that draws inspiration from a design code that, thanks to its fundamental simplicity, is open to interpretation.The HYT H2 Aviator is a dressed-up version of the HYT H2, in the same way that the HYT H1 Air, released earlier this year (check out the review here), is a version of the H1. We've seen the fluid-filled bellows, angled in a V-shape before; we expected the prominent balance and balance bridge to ornament the dial at 12; we could have staked our lives on the yellow/green liquid that encircles the dial making an appearance. What we maybe didn't see coming was the complete redesign of the minute hand, the addition of large, legible numbers to the face of the watch (on a flo

Baume & Mercier Hampton Watches For 2011
I remember the good ol' days when watches were modern and design was fresh and enthusiastic. Boy, those where some crazy times. We sure have come a long way since then. Today things are better and we've learned our lesson. Don't try to improve upon watch design or create new things. No one wants to buy that. What people really want is old watches. Well, new old watches. Boy, I'll tell youwhat a refreshing sight today's new watches are. No distracting innovation, just good old fashioned"old fashioned."So it makes me incredibly proud to introduce you to Baume & Mercier's "new" Hampton watch collection. Baume & Mercier really holds a special place in my heart for teasing me with the first watch I could truly not afford. That was a Capeland model back in the late 1990s. What a cool modern watch that was (back in those unfortunate times). Today's Capeland watch is thankfully stuck in a pre-World War II era.According to Baume & Mercier the Hampton collection is based on a watch f

I bought a new Hamilton too.
It was a long time coming, but I finally have my anniversary Ventura in rose PVD plate. Last year Hamilton made 1,000 anniversary Venturas in yellow and 1,000 more in rose, which were destined for the Japanese market. About 150 of the yellow ones made it into the US market a year ago, but the rose ones kept being delayed time and again. I originally ordered these 11 months ago, and had given up hope that they would ever actually appear. Imagine my delight when they showed up this week.I'm a lousy photographer anyway, but the highly reflective sapphire crystal makes this even harder to get a decent picture:This next picture doesn't show the case as well as the one above but it gives a better idea of the dial, which has a sort of brownish-gray matte finish. The markers and hands are rose, and the lines are raised above the surface, also in rose. The effect is stunning and impossible to convey in a photo. Like the yellow version, there's a tiny diamond discreetly mounted at the 50 minute

The IWCCo Admiral and General Trench Watch Cases, Together Again ! ! !
Hey guys!Today is a pretty special day!This just might be the very first time that all of the Admirals and Generals from the Illinois Watch Case Company have been pictured together ! ! !On September 5, 1917 the Illinois Watch Case Company gave proper names to four of their trench watch cases.These proper names were: Admiral Evans, General Joffre, General Funston and Admiral Benson.All four of these men had very distinguished military careers so it makes complete sense that the IWCCo would name their top of the line cases after them.The General Joffre and the Admiral Evans are probably the hardest to obtain out of this group (especially a gold filled Admiral Evans with an offset crown).The Admiral Evans is a size 0s, the General Joffre is a GIANT size 6s, the General Funston is a size 0s and the Admiral Benson is a size 3/0s.This picture is pretty EPIC!To have all four of these watches in the same room is nearly impossible...............that is until today!ENJOY ! ! !And here is the Sep
