Limes Klassik Cartouche Watch Available: Guilloche For The Masses
Everyone deserves a really nice classic watch. Actually, let me be more clear because "classic" is probably the most common term in the watch industry, that and "heritage." A classic (or "Klassik" for my Deutsche friends) watch in this sense refers to the vintage decorating on the watch using metal engraving machines. This practice is called guilloche, and probably best done by the Germans today. Benzinger being the master.Because this style of decoration is so "classic" in the watch world, I think every one should have at least one example of it. Such beauty is really hard to appreciate unless you are looking right at it, as it is a very visual type of splendor. Limes is unusual in the small watch making world for making their own cases, and some dials. That is one of the ways that they can keep costs down. Owned by Ickler, Limes is a thoroughly German brand with a well-priced and attractive line.One of their best watches from a style and value perspective is the Limes Klassik Cartouc

Pairs Well With: Defakto Akkord
Vintage watches are all the rage. Whether authentically aged or designed to look it, vintage seems to be the go-to for the well dressed. As such, we've done quite a few Pairs Well Withs on watches that speak to a time cooler than our own. Well, enough is enough! Today, we are going to pair some duds with a watch that is unabashedly modern, the Defakto Akkord.As severe as it is clean, as bold as it is minimal, the Defakto Akkord is a watch for those with an eye for proportion and simplicity. Made in Pforzheim, Germany, the ETA 2824-2 powered automatic will turn heads with its high contrast markers and hold attention with its curious skeleton hour hand. Also featuring a sapphire crystal, display case back and your choice of calf leather strap, at around $550 before shipping, it's an incredible deal for a German made watch.To pair with such a particular watch, we went with structural clothing and a monochromatic palette. Sportier than our typical selection, this clothing emphasizes athlet

New Omega Boutique
If any of you guys are near or in Jacksonville, FL there is a brand new Omega Boutique in the Saint John's Town Center.

Sit back and relax!
I came across this old photo and I still don't think Baselworld will have anything to offer thats more satisfying to my eyes than this little beauty! No worrying about discontinuation for me as its already happened, no worrying about loss of value because of a new model as in my eyes this is far superior to its replacement. I can just watch Baselworld and enjoy Rolex's new offerings knowing im completely satisfied with what I have still...........for now.P.s The Seadweller is a definite keeper though, that matte dial!!!! And the last Rolex to have a date with no Cyclops.
