Elegant Accessories: Pens for Watch Lovers
Watch companies have upped the ante in the quality of their branded accessories ¡ª particularly in the case of fine writing implements, a category near and dear to the hearts of many watch collectors. In this 2009 column by Fine Pens writer Jan DiVincenzo, the first in our online archive of WatchTime’s popular lifestyle columns, we take a look at some of the standouts.In pairing a watch with a pen, the obvious preference would be for both to be of the same manufacture. And this shouldn¡¯t be difficult, as more and more watch companies now offer pens. However, most of these pens, like other watch-branded ancillary products, come from companies that do not specialize in making them. Cartier, for instance, has been making pens since 1924 and currently offers nine pen models, including the Santos, Pasha and Roadster, which match their respective watch models. But these pens, despite their material preciousness, are usually not as thoughtfully engineered as their timekeeping brethren.A

Of my newest cal. 89!

New to this...but smart enough to know better :-)
I have a ladies CYMA quartz watch with a stainless steel/gold bracelet. It has a blue/black face with roman numerals and gold tone hands. It works. I took it to a reputable jeweler (a horologist) in my area and he informed me that it would be worth servicing for a cleaning but my goal is not to spend money but make it. As much as I would like to keep the watch I must sell it because I am trying to raise funds to get my handicap son a chair lift. He suggested that I join a watch forum where other experts such as yourself may have an interest in it...so here I am.

Has My new speedy got a proble?
Hi. I hope somebody reading this can enlighten me a little. My new Speedmaster that I picked up a week ago which has the 9300 movement fitted seems to have a stiff rotor, it seems to revolve in quarter revolutions and the stop, then I turn the watch a little more and is revolves another quarter turn etc. It seems not to revolve so freely as my other Omegas (with see through backs) and the 3313 movement fitted they really spin around. There is also a little noise when it spins around. but again the Cal 3313 does not have this. It is keeping good time though. Is this how this new movement is or should I take it back for Omega to look at. I have waited so long for this watch I am reluctant to lose it for a month or so if there is nothing to worry about . Thanks guys. Alan
