Patek Philippe Chronograph

Initial Impressions: Techn¨¦ Sparrowhawk II
*Check out our full review of the Techne Sparrowhawk II here.?The Techn¨¦ Sparrowhawk II is a watch that we've had on our radar for sometime, starting when the brand showed an early video of the watch's unique meca-quartz movement in action. A movement that combines quartz based time with a mechanical chronograph. So when they were fully unveiled not too long ago, we had to jump on getting a review model, which Franck J. of Techn¨¦ kindly provided. There are a few reasons why we were so enthusiastic about the watch that we think our readers will be enthusiastic about it too.For one thing, the brand itself is fairly young, having been founded in 2009, and has a very different philosophy from other brands out there, a philosophy that worn&wound can certainly get behind.

Court Says Swatch Can Cut Supply To Competing Watchmakers: What Does It Mean?
Swatch is having a good week.? First, the Swiss National Bank decided to purchase back an unlimited amount of Francs, causing a big jump in its share price.?Now, courts have ruled in favor of Swatch in a suit filed by 11 watchmakers that would've forced the company to continue to supply both movements and parts to competitors moving forward.? Now, they don't have to.So what does this mean? Well, it's hard to say for sure but you can bet this will hurt a host of brands - big and small - that rely on ETA hearts for their pieces.? But, at the same time, this ruling will hopefully lead to actual innovation in the watch industry by forcing more brands to build their own calibers.? And to any of you who says "But hey, manufacture movements are always really expensive!" check out NOMOS and then get back to us.Oh, and of course, even if ETA stops supplying movements, there will always be people like Sellita making movements to the exact same specifications.?Check out more details the WSJ.
