Shinola Runwell Chronograph 41mm Watch
Shinola is very likely a brand that needs no introduction to readers of this site. They seem to be one of the few bright spots of good news hailing from my old stomping grounds of Detroit. They've released a variety of well-designed leather goods, bicycles, and three-hander watches. On the watch front, they're upping the ante by adding a new size to one of their more popular models, the Runwell Chronograph.It's not surprising to hear that the new model is simply called the Runwell Chrono 41mm. As with their other models, this is a quartz-driven piece. This model uses their Argonite 5021 movement, which is assembled from 84 components provided to them by Ronda. This movement is housed in a fully polished 41mm stainless steel case. The overall feel of this case is one of compactness. You don't have a lot of extra steel to the edges of the dial - just the bezel, and then its onto the side of the case.And, for this model, that's where things really shine. ?Prior to this model being introdu

Review: The Riedenschild Swihanic 2
Swihanic, the under-priced mystery watch, oh how you bewilder. I have been wearing the Riedenschild for few weeks now and it has definitely left an impression. It feels like an expensive watch, it looks like an expensive watch and for the most part, seems to be built like an expensive watch¡­ but expensive is the one thing the Swihanic is not. OK, let me qualify that last statement. The Swihanic (still don't know what that means) has many features that just don't belong, as I understand the watch market, on a watch this price, being about $275.? The watch features a sapphire crystal, a well-made deployment-clasp strap (optional), branded crowns and strap details, a decorated Unitas movement, an internal bezel and a unique case design. Sure, "built like an expensive watch" is a terrible generalization, since I am sure it is not built anything like a $5000+ dollar watch, or a $1500 dollar watch for that matter, but it is better than expected, and would beat the crap out of many brands in

BYOW - Build Your Own Watch Project.
As I saw one of the member here built his own watch, I would like to try to build my own watch..I used to build RC cars as hobby (not driving, building only) and enjoy putting things together.Does anyone have some information where I can buy the kit and start building at home?I want something that will give me option to assemble the movement.
