Bulova Watchmaking School Co-founder Stanley Simon Dies at 93
The New York Times is reporting that Stanley Simon, who was instrumental in bringing the Bulova Watchmaking School into being, has passed away in Manhattan. He was 93. The School, founded in 1945, became a model for industry-lead rehabilitation of disabled veterans. First conceived as World War II drew to an end, the school trained thousands of veterans in the watchmaker’s art. The school was founded by company president Arde Bulova, who wanted to repay the service of returning veterans. He named it for his father Joseph, who founded the Bulova Watch Company in New York in 1875.As Bulova’s industrial relations director, Stanley Simon played a central role in the school’s development. He oversaw construction of the school’s building, where ramps, automatic doors, and extra-wide elevators accommodated wheelchairs. An inscription on the school’s cornerstone reads simply “To serve those who served us.” Less than a year after the school opened, jewe

Look Out! The URWERK Torpedo Watch Is Coming
Mention the name URWERK to the watch community and it¡¯s instantly recognizable for the cutting edge case design and unique time tracking system. Today, Felix Baumgartner and his company are accepted into the haute horlogerie community as brethren. But it wasn¡¯t always this way. Remember, it¡¯s the Swiss we¡¯re talking about. As a nation, they are conservative and traditional, with a skeptical wait-and-see attitude. You can just imagine the watchmakers¡¯ lips pursing and their noses turning up upon first laying eyes on URWERK¡¯s first creation, the UR-101. It actually looks a bit like a mini UFO a la "The Jetsons" with its rough-hewn stainless case and glass aperture.Although URWERK¡¯s success seems so obvious now, Felix reminded me over lunch a couple weeks ago in Los Angeles that it took 10 years for the company to gain respect. Nonetheless, that aspect doesn¡¯t concern Felix much. He¡¯s always been one to go his own way.From the beginning of his career, Felix has been independent and has ne

New Member, New Watch!
Hello,I've been a long time watch 'enthusiast' (for lack of a better term) but never had a nice watch. I'll be getting married next month after becomming stable/satisfied in my current career and thought it was time to treat myself.The brand choice was easy to chose as Ive always loved Breitling's aviation inspired theme. Chosing a model was much harder but I ended up picking up an incredible Chronomat black face/silver dial with the polished case and pilot band. I can see why this is their most popular model.I love my Breitling but can feel the collecting itch start already lol. Ive got my eye on a big Pilot's Watch next for an everyday type watch but theres lots of time for that later.I have a simple point and shoot camera that cant do the watch justice so Ill just attach a linked pic of the same model otherwise its just too blurry The only diff being the black face vs the blue face pictured
