Looking Time in the Eye: Two New HYT Skull Watches
Skulls are a popular motif in luxury watches lately ¡ª check out our list of some of the most notable ones ¡ª and now HYT, one of the most unconventional watchmakers out there, gets in on the act in its own unique “hydromechanical horology” style with the release of the HYT Skull, available in two colorful versions.To create the new HYT Skull Green Eye and Red Eye models, HYT CEO Vincent Perriard gave his watchmakers a simple but challenging goal: make a timepiece that has a totally original look but still maintains the HYT watch brand’s signature style. “Simply taking an existing movement, giving it a vague skull shape and presenting it as an entirely new piece is not really our style,” Perriard says.?The watches, like previous HYT models, use a colored fluid ¡ª flowing through a thin capillary and controlled by the expansion and contraction of two vertical bellows in the movement ¡ª to keep track of the hours with the aid of a numbered scale around the dial.

Can anything compete with the new Orange Monster?
I haven't purchased a watch for a while. Why? Because I have too many as it is. But I can no longer resist a small purchase. The new and improved monster really got my attention. With manual winding and hacking, it is now the perfect watch - at least it is the perfect value. So here is my question: If I am dying to spend between $300 and $500 for a new Christmas watch, is there ANY WATCH out there that can touch the Monster for value, coolness and good looks?

Mini Omega London 2012 Countdown Clock
Visited my local AD yesterday and they had on display their latest arrival from Omega...a miniature version of the London 2012 Olympic countdown clock. It looks absolutely fantastic and apparently they will be able to set their own countdown once the Olympics are over next year. A very cool thing for Omega to send their AD's I think you will agree.
