SLYDE Sport Watches With Matching "Engines" 2013
My experience with the SLYDE?watch last year was an instructive one. While I will readily profess the religion of the mechanical watch to anyone who will listen, I was surprised to discover that during the time I spent with a SLYDE on my wrist, I felt a tinge of the future, and possibly of watch-making itself.While we interact with electronic devices all the time, it seems strange that in the arena of wrist-watch appreciation, the emphasis is decidedly still on the mechanical side of things. Perhaps if the future is to be engaged properly, developments need to be made on?the digital side as well, for who knows what we as a race will evolve to be like further down the line. Without a doubt, at some point the world of Swiss watches and smartwatches will converge.SLYDE is interesting and is an interesting company, guided by a singular vision that in the current environment, could reasonably be deemed to be very bold.

Master Watch Maker Vianney Halter 'Tells It Like It Is' In Interview
Most watch lovers have a fondness and strict appreciation for watch maker Vianney Halter - who is the man behind Janvier Manufacture, a number of interesting timepieces (including the iconic Antiqua), has set the bar for luxury steampunk timepieces, and is a respected personality in the world of horology. Haute Horlogerie Magazine recently interviews him (link below), and I suggest the short read due to Vianney's actually straight forward and sober responses.Any watch industry journalist knows that while you need to interview the CEO's of major brands in the hope that you might get some advertising income out of them down the line, said brand executives mostly make for pointless discussions. They speak in vagaries, are overly positive, and often only speak in "brand mantra." Independents are?? often much better to speak with, and Mr. Halter makes for a good opinion.Here is probably his best quote from the interview:"[T]his year I've seen some totally out-there products that take buyers

My First Chance to Inspect the Explorer II, 216570
Today I got a call from the friendly folks down at Beauchamp Jewelers.I had asked if I could have an opportunity to see the new Explorer II watches before they had a chance to bolt out the door on some buyer's wrist.I was having lunch at the time and they needed to get them checked in and whatnot, so I went and bowled a couple of practice games and then drove over to the shop.There as promised the watchmaker emerged from the back with two caskets, one bearing the white dial model and the other bearing the black dial model.I've been a little critical of the new styling with the broad hands and the orange 24-hour hand, but I've held back on final judgement until I could inspect them personally and put them on my wrist or wrists in this case.I have to say, albeit a little late, the new Explorer II watches get the coveted GradyPhilpott seal of approval.They are stunning watches. They do not overpower the wrist, or at least my wrist, and the hands from a normal perspective don't look like
