M¨¹hle-Glash¨¹tte Teutonia II Gro?datum Chronometer Watch
Every brand needs to be known for something. In the case of M¨¹hle-Glash¨¹tte, the first thing that pops into my mind is humble excellence. With the M¨¹hle-Glash¨¹tte Teutonia II Grossdatum Chronometer, a timepiece for professionals, the German brand has further established itself as one of those sneaky-clever periphery names giving consumers a whole lot of bang for their buck.M¨¹hle-Glash¨¹tte has a long history. Founded in 1869 in Glash¨¹tte, Germany, a hot-bed of horological happenings, the M¨¹hle family set-up shop manufacturing measuring instruments. Through two world wars and countless political uncertainties, the M¨¹hle brand grew and grew. Today, the fifth generation of leadership proudly manufactures timepieces on a relatively modest scale. I have always been a fan of M¨¹hle-Glash¨¹tte for their watches' unassuming competence. Where other brands may kick and scream for your attention, M¨¹hle-Glash¨¹tte quietly takes its cues from the market and then creates a muted model that ticks most al

Introducing The Montblanc Heritage Chronom¨¦trie ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph, Available In Two Dial Variants
We recently introduced you to Montblanc's Heritage Chronométrie Quantième Annual Calendar, one of a number of recent releases that highlight the brand's capabilities in watchmaking. Not only is Montblanc making relatively affordable, complicated timepieces, but it is also digging into its Minerva roots and applying innovation to movements. For such innovation, look no further than the new Heritage Chronométrie ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph. 2 OF 6 The 18k red-gold case of the Minute Chronograph is 44 mm wide. Yes, that’s definitely big, but there’s also quite a bit going on in this model. Finishing and decoration on the dial are top-notch, with faceted applied indexes and lanced hands in red gold. The top two-thirds of the dial are dedicated to traditional timekeeping, with a sub dial for the date positioned beneath the base of the hour and minute hands. Two ivory-grained, white-lacquered chronograph sub dials are positioned on

Hiatus...
So, it seems as though I've been on a bit of a hiatus lately.Back in August, I got hired by a magazine here in St. Augustine as a photographer. Then they decided they wanted me to write for them (the print magazine and their website). They keep me hoppin' pretty well:I'm also one of the house photographers for two local concert venues. I've also been shooting for a college yearbook company; easy money and zero editing. Aside from those, I'm also shooting a good deal of racing, including the Rolex 24 at Daytona Int'l this weekend.On the watch front, I discovered a budget brand that I really like: Deep Blue. I know I posted some shots of the first one I bought, but I've since acquired a second:They're pretty beefy for the money. The one pictured was a whopping $200.00.I've also gotten some older watches which have belonged to various family members. I've got my Grandfather's old Fortis (I actually got that back when I lived in San Diego), and I got my Dad's old Hamilton when he passed aw

What a dilemma... money to spend & no watch of interest
Okay, it's my birthday in a couple of weeks, and the wife has graciously allowed me to indulge my passion (obsession?). The only problem is, I have a budget of $500, and I CAN'T FIND A SINGLE WATCH THAT INTERESTS ME When did I become so jaded, or so fussy that I can't find a watch in that price bracket?There are a couple of issues though; first of all, for my collection to be added to, it must be by something a bit 'different'. I don't want anymore diver's watches, I have a nice dress watch, I have chronographs, so what's left?Secondly, I live in just about the suckiest city in the world for buying watches (okay, probably an exaggeration, but it sure feels like it sometimes).We have one Rolex AD, and one shop that's a TAG, Oris, Rado and Tissot AD. There are lots of other jewellery stores that sell Tissot, a couple with Longines (I do like the Hydroconquest, but it's out of the price bracket, and it's a diver's watch), and all of the rest sell Seiko, Casio etc.So it's looking like I WO
