Angular Momentum Il Moretto Watch: Historical Talisman Timepiece
This is a pretty incredible new timepiece from Angular Momentum. The figurine is actually part of the watch, and is situated on one of Angular Momentum¡¯s new Time Gallery watch cases. Even if you have no idea what Il Moretto (aka "moretto Veneziano"), or a Morcic figure is, this is a pretty significant departure from your typical luxury watch. Let¡¯s go back in time for a moment a few hundred years to Italy and Croatia to understand the development of this symbol. A Morcic is a bust figure of a Moor. The figures always have Caucasian features with dark skin, and are luxuriously dressed while wearing a turban headdress. The idea of the figure was to be ¡°exotic,¡± and was typically used a good luck charm. Sailors began to have Il Moretto figurines as earrings or pendants as a ward against pirates (mostly Turkish) , who often plagued sailors who sailed along the African coast and in the Mediterranean sea.While the figure's face does not have a specific analog, it obviously has influence fro

A Conversation with Tom Anstead of Anstead Watches
A few weeks ago, we got the chance to chat with Tom Anstead, owner and designer of Anstead Watches. Anstead is a retired officer of the United States Navy. His naval career, as well as the watches available to him during his time in service, very much informed the design of the Anstead Oceanis.Anstead's first generation Oceanis debuted a couple of years ago, a product of one of the early Kickstarter watch campaigns. The second generation debuted in September. We wanted to get his thoughts on a second generation timepiece, his plans for the future of Anstead Watches, and his thoughts on the potential of the watch industry in the United States.Ed Estlow for Worn and Wound:With easy global sourcing and availability of watch parts, there are dozens, maybe hundreds, of boutique brands starting up. I'm curious ¨C what was your motivation or overall goal for starting another one?Tom Anstead:Well, from my prospective, I didn't necessarily see the hundreds of boutique brands. I knew of some out

Should I sell my D-Blue?
This is just something I've been thinking about. I love the watch and it fits my wrist great, and love the heft so that's not the problem at all. Let's just say the tax man just took a hefty bite. I don't NEED to sell it, but I'm saving toward some major goals, and I haven't reached those yet. I didn't buy this for any special reason, except I wanted it. I have other nice dive watches. (Hulk, Superocean) Since the 116660 D-Blue was only a three year run, will it be dumb to let it go?? I could always replace later with a 126660 D-Blue? Just looking for thoughts if this would be something I regret. FYI I've never sold a watch before, so just a little gun shy. Pics for science.
