Nixon Goes Upscale With Its Automatic Chrono LTD Watch
Nixon has long been mostly a fashion brand, with bold, oversized designs and quartz movements. (Also good for presidential candidates!) With the launch of their Elite collection, they are moving into mechanical movements and higher prices:Simply put, these are the highest quality watches we make. Each one is made to the most exacting standards of Swiss watch makers, is custom built and features the Automatic ETA movement that has been the standard of quality timepieces for decades.The Automatic Chrono LTD is the flagship of the collection, a very limited run of 25 watches, in ion-plated steel with a tungsten bezel and crown cap. Tungsten is very unusual, it's most often seen as the nose cone material for missiles, so if nothing else it's a good conversation starter. Tungsten is incredibly tough and should make a good bezel material, remaining flawless for many years. The watch comes with a matching bracelet, though if you look I'm puzzled that they chose straight end links instead of f

Tiret Gotham Watches
Wow, these are pretty wild I have to say. From the odd and rare Tiret New York watch company comes the Gotham collection of watches. Here are the Chronograph and Power reserve models, and I hear there is a GMT version as well. Based on Batman's version of New York, the Gotham is a mixture of square modernism, art deco, and sheer horological goodness. I would wear the thing for sheer novelty value.These are not brand new watches, nor are they cheap watches. Lots of white gold (or other golds) and other fine materials (steel, ceramic, natural rubber, optional oodles of precious gems) make up the Gotham watches, and probably a lot of prissy attitudes and luxury margins. But who cares, you'll probably never even see ones of these watches in the flesh. The only places I am aware they are sold is in places like Dubai and Burjuman. Where cost is of little issue to some people. The name of the brand is Tired New York - not sure what the connection to New York is - oh well.Would Batman wear thi

WTF Mascot Roadtrip!
We're on the road and this is our trip so far. Mostly it's just pics of Chicago. We left after I got out of work last Friday at 3pm but last minute errands and dinner kept us in town until around 5:30pm and we only ended up somewhere in Indiana. We made it to Chicago early this afternoon and went straight to Willis Tower. A new tennant bought the naming rights to the building and it's no longer called Sears Tower. Other than the good time we had at the Willis Tower Sky Deck I'd say that Chicago was a bust for us. Too crowded for my taste. We had wanted to go to a specific restaurant but drove around for at least half an hour trying to find parking and couldn't so we scratched that and decided to try our luck at the Magnificent Mile. Same result...no parking. We decided to leave early and ended up somewhere in Wisconsin. We will make it to Deadwood sometime tomorrow. I'll update more when we get there. In the meantime, here are some pics to hold you over. Enjoy!Here is a pi
