Stock Watches Hands On
When a watch is reduced to only the most basic of design vocabulary, one of a few things tends to happen. They can be stark and cold, like something spit out by a machine. Structural and graphic as though complimenting more the architecture around a person than the person themselves¡­ Or sometimes, they can just be a breath of fresh air. Stock Watches are the latter. With watches that are stripped down to little more than line and tone, Stock has managed to create a blissfully minimal line that have a surprising amount of charm.A quick glance at the S001, Stock's first series, might bring to mind the watches of Max Bill, Braun and Uniform Wares. With simple cylindrical cases, straight lugs, clean dials and stick hands they clearly all share a Bauhaus aesthetic, Max Bill of course being largely the source. Though similar, there are details of the S001's that give them a unique character, such as the 36mm case design and subtle dial coloring, and they happen to be the most affordable. At

Pre-SIHH: Introducing The Baume & Mercier Clifton Collection
For SIHH 2013, Baume & Mercier will be unveiling an entirely new collection, Clifton. While most of the pieces will not be shown until January, we have a sneak peak at Clifton for you this morning. And if these three watches are any indication, Clifton is going to be a strong collection for B&M. 2 OF 6 The inspiration for Clifton comes from vintage dress watches of the 1950s, though the name comes from a South African sea-side resort. Go figure. The basic models like those here come in at 41mm and 42mm, which are certainly modern sizes, but not overly huge. The numbers on the dial are elegant, the three-piece case is sturdy, and there seems to have been a great attention paid to details throughout the design process.First up are two steel models, one with a silver dial and the other with a black dial. Both are 11.54mm thick, house automatic movements (likely ETA or ETA-like), and come on alligator straps. With the sub seconds and discrete date at 3 o'clock, these really d

Watch pictures from the Milwaukee Public Museum
So I was at the museum the other day with the family and we have an area called the European village. It has small houses and displays of different ethnic groups. I haven't been to the museum since becoming a WIS. I found a small Swiss shop and here are some shots through the window, you cannot go inside any of the homes. It's dark in there so trying to use a flash through the window isn't easy. It is a cool display but there is no description telling you anything about the Swiss culture or how the watch making buisness came to be.
