Temption CM05 Watch
I have a really strong affinity to the small, independent German watch maker Temption. I have two of their watches, the CGK203 and the Cameo (click on those links for my reviews). Each year they try to release a new model, and I eager await what they have to share. Last year it was the beautiful Cameo, and this year is the CM05. While the Cameo was a totally new design for the brand, the CMO5 is more of an evolution on their classic look. Emphasis here is on build quality, and the simple design aesthetic that made the Cameo as popular as it was.Temption is proud that the CM05 is totally screwed together. There are no rivets, studs, or pressed points (though the sapphire crystal might be an exception). As such, you can see the screws in the caseback and all over the bracelet. The case itself is in high-grade steel and 42mm wide and 11mm tall (very wearable). The case is 100 meters water resistant as well. The sapphire crystal is 2.6mm thick and domed for strength (also AR coated on the

In-Depth: Twelve Of The Greatest Missing Watches, Including Paul Newman's Paul Newman, John Lenn
The intersection of politics and popular culture with wristwatches is undeniably fascinating. I mean, that's basically why I have a job. Equally fascinating is the pursuit of these timepieces at the center of this interesection by watch collectors, dealers, and auction houses. There are a handful of documented important wrist and pocket watches out there that the world at large is still looking for. What I mean by that is they have not been publicly sold or located, like say Eric Clapton's platinum 2499, Gandhi's Zenith pocket watch, or Steve McQueen's 5512 Submariner (we won't get into his seemingly never ending supply of Monacos), though we know they exist via a blurry old 35mm photograph, or word of mouth. This is a short list of twelve watches that we know to exist, have serious interest in, but have seemingly gone missing.

Newt Gingrich: Patek owner?
Just saw him announcing an exploratory website for the 2012 presidential race. Who cares what he was saying, in WIS tradition I was focused on his wrist, which looked like he was wearing a calatrava.Anyone else catch this?Cheers!

Cost of materials?
Have you ever wondered how much the materials cost in a high end watch...as a percentage of its price?This came up after I noticed that watches with solid gold alloy cases are FAR more expensive by thousands of dollars...in spite of the fact that the actual gold content might only be an additional $800.00.Strangely enough, there don't seem to be any solid brass cases available. An alloy of 74% Copper, 25% Zinc and 1% Tin would have a gold like colour and some corrosion resistance.

To Wind or Not To Wind...
Good evening, all! I'm new here and I'm sure there are past posts about this, but I thought I would ask all of you. To wind or not to wind? I currently have an 116610LN, 116718BLNR, and a PAM01320 along with a Wolf Meridian Triple Watch Winder. Would appreciate and love any opinions and advice. Thank you in advance!
