The Reign Of Sports Watches: What Everyone Wants To Wear
Sport and Sports watches are what people are most looking to buy these days. Watches under this category get the most internet searches, and enjoy the most interesting releases. What is a sport watch? And why does everyone want one? The answer is simple, and goes to the heart of what a watch is. First, you need to know what a sport watch is not, namely any watch whose purpose is to be time-telling jewelry. A sport watch is any watch whose purpose (at least historically) is to provide special utility during some activity or event. There are many categories of sport watches, but the main ones are; diving watches, racing watches, pilot watches, military watches, and all purpose rugged watches. Within these categories are tons of sub-styles and types based upon special features or requirements of an activity. In some instances, new watches today evoke a style from the past whose purpose is obsolete. Take polo watches. These watches were meant to flip around (Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso for in

A clue I've been hanging around here too much...
A couple days ago I was invited to attend, and possibly lead a session or two, a multi-day academic retreat to be hosted by my graduate program next spring.The first train of thought that raced through my mind: "Which watches should I bring? The Cedric looks properly academic, but by then I should have my engraved decagon restored and ready for wear. The pretty little coral Olivia is suitably spring-like, right? Oh, I should bring something durable. The Seiko 5 will do, although I really do want to pick up a Citizen diver sometime soon anyway. I'm saving the Stowa for my thesis defense. Hmm. I'll have to think carefully about this."The second thought: "Oh, so what do they want me to talk about?"

My Hamilton Yorktowne (1940)
Greetings folks,Well, I just got back from being "restored to working condition" my grandfather's Hamilton Yorktowne. It's a 20 x 35mm rectangular cased, 10k gold-filled watch with Hamilton Calibre 980, 17-jewel, manual wind movement. The serial number on the movement dates it to 1940-1941.I never really knew my grandfather as he died in 1966 when I was a bit more than 3 years old. I was named after him. My grandmother kept the watch in a drawer for nearly 40 years and I inherited it while cleaning out her place after she passed away a few years ago.The partial restoration dealt mostly with the mechanicals because, naturally, I wanted to wear it but some cleaning and polishing took place as well. A friend of mine, who's an amateur watch-making enthusiast, did the actual work and he did a great job. We left the original face essentially unrestored for monetary reasons and we couldn't find a new crystal. But, now that I have it back I'm glad that we didn't. I like the vintage ch

Speedmaster ¡°First Omega in Space¡± Numbered Edition chronograph
Having been only into Rolex and Tudors since the mid 1990s my eyes has once again opened up for the Omegas (I had a Seamaster in the very early 1990s), especially the Speedmaster ¡°First Omega in Space¡± Numbered Edition chronograph, as presented at Basel this year.Anyone that have had a chance to try it out, and can offer some comments? From the looks only, I have it as #1 on my current short list. Best,A
