Though mixed metal watches are a classic look, we have been noticing a recent surge in popularity for silver watches that are accented with features and highlights in gold and rose gold.

Rolex watches: Did you know?

2012-01-26T14:53:00.002-05:00

Rolex is a Swiss watchmaking manufacturer. They are renowned around the world for producing some of the best and most highly regarded watches on the market. They are also a leader in luxury watches for men and women, and many consumers of Rolex consider their timepiece a status symbol. Indeed, in 2007, Business Week magazine ranked Rolex watches as the number one most valuable global brand.

However, did you know that while now based in Geneva, Switzerland and considered a Swiss watch manufacturer, Rolex watches was actually founded in England? Indeed, in 1905 Hans Wilsdorf and his brother in law started the company that would become Rolex. However, in 1919 the pair moved the business to Geneva where it remains headquartered to this day.

Today, Rolex is known as an innovative and leading watchmaker. Among the company's many impressive innovations are the following achievements:

The first waterproof wristwatch "Oyster", 1923
The first wristwatch with an automatically changing date on the dial
The first wristwatch with an automatically changing day and date on the dial
The first wristwatch case waterproof to 100 m (330 ft)
The first wristwatch to show two time zones at once
The first watchmaker to earn chronometer certification for a wristwatch

The Watchery is a reputable retailer of Rolex watches and has an extensive number of Rolex watches for men and women, including the covetable Rolex Daytona.

The Allure of Designer Watches

2012-01-23T14:41:00.004-05:00

This afternoon, Gucci posted on their Facebook page about their watch collection. The Italian design house stated: "In the 1970s, Gucci was the first luxury house to add watches to its offering? The tradition continues today with our Gucci Timeless and Coupé collection." And Gucci watches continue to be popular amongst watch-loving consumers.

Indeed, many of our Watchery customers love Gucci watches in particular, and a design-house timepiece in general because they can add a fabulous statement to your look. Design-house watches, by labels such as Gucci, Fendi, Armani and so forth, offer the status symbol appeal without the earth-shattering price tags of Swiss-made luxury watches by esteemed watch manufacturers such as Breitling, Rolex, Cartier and more.

The latest design house to jump on the bandwagon is Roberto Cavalli who announced last week that he is teaming up with coveted Swiss watch manufacturer, Franck Mueller, for a new range of Roberto Cavalli watches. The time pieces will cost from $1,600 to $7,600, with entry level timepieces up to more luxurious items.

No word yet on whether The Watchery will be stocking Cavalli's highly coveted new watch collection but watch this space...

How to Choose a Man's Watch

2012-01-17T13:30:00.004-05:00

The best men's watches are not necessarily the ones from the most expensive watch brands on the market. Though a watch is often an investment, it does have to suit your budget. Your new men's watch should also look good on you and fit your personality.

How do you select the best watch for you? We have written up our list of some of the best ways to choose. Here, our advice on choosing a men's watch.

When it comes to mens' watches, one of the most universal types is the chronograph style. They can be worn by anyone because it doesn't matter what they are worn with--they always say 'cool and casual' or 'sporty.'

When selecting a watch you also have to consider your build and a watch-face size that suits you.

Leather v. plastic v. metal? Most people can carry each of these bracelet types well but you need to get the appearance right for your look. For example, you wouldn't want to sport the plastic rubber band for a formal affair.

At The Watchery we have a diverse selection of men's watches at significantly reduced prices. From domestic brands such as Activa and Invicta to luxury Swiss watches by Tag Heuer and Breitling. You will undoubtedly find the right men's watch for you at The Watchery.

Watch news: Cartier Turns to Discreet Watches to Assuage Luxury Guilt

2012-01-16T11:14:00.002-05:00

Cartier watches announced today that they are making subdued watch models that are not ostentatious displays of wealth. This has seen them with sales that exceed their luxury watch rivals.

The watch manufacturer whose clientelle have included royalty and Hollywood celebrities alike claims that their more discreet watches, like their best-selling Cartier Ballon Bleu, has helped them grow their market share of the luxury watch market.

"Bigger watches are losing a bit of ground today," Cartier watches Chief Executive Officer Bernard Fornas said in an interview in Geneva. "When you are in crisis periods you show off less and you have shapes that are more discreet and more ergonomic. The feel- guilty factor is very important."

The Watchery carries a number of beautiful Cartier watches and discounts them for added savings.

de Grisogono Black Forever Collection

2011-09-20T12:03:00.003-04:00

Occhio Ripetizione Minuti

de Grisogono adds a dash of color and a burst of brightness to its latest Black Forever Collection Edition with the introduction of its Instrumento Tondo timepiece . This year de Grisogono will be displaying its "Black Forever" collection at a special showing in San Fransico on September the 26th & September the 27th. This year will mark the 15th year, de Grisogono has been designing luxury watches and fine jewelry in black diamonds.

Black diamonds are quite rare. According to geologists, black diamonds came to our earth from outer space. (Source: Astrophysical Journal Letters December 20, 2006) Otherwise known as carbonado diamonds, these diamonds contain trace elements of hydrogen which indicates an origin in a hydrogen-rich interstellar space. Infrared synchrotron radiation at Brookhaven National Laboratory was used to discover the diamonds' source.

Instrumento Tondo RM N56/A

In addition, black diamonds are found only in Brazil and the Central African Republic. In all the worlds mining fields whether it be South Africa, China, India; where 600 tons have been mined, not a single black diamond has been found. Another clue to the extraterrestrial nature of the black diamond is in its make up. The black diamonds Carbonado diamonds are typically pea sized or larger porous aggregates of many tiny black crystals.

Instrumento N° Uno

Early data from scientists Jozsef Garai and Stephen Haggerty of Florida International University, as well as new research support the theory that showing that carbonado diamonds formed in stellar supernovae explosions.
Whatever the source of the black diamonds, their ultimate destination is what really counts in the here and now. In 1996, Fawaz Gruozi, of de Grisigono, laid his eyes on the 190 carat "Black Orlov" diamond and was smitten. He decided to use these rare gems in his jewelry and timepieces. However black diamonds are fragile and prone to breakage if not handled by a person highly skilled in gems cutting.
To commemorate 15 years of de Grisogono's use of black diamonds in its jewelry and timepieces, the company has launched a special edition of timepieces named " Black Forever", which includes watches from the brands first watch collection "Instrumento No Uno" to the highly publicized "Meccanico dG"

The Instrumento N° Uno is superbly crafted in stainless steel protected by a highly resilient black PVD coating. An automatic movement winds the mainspring. A dual time and date commands center attention upon a black guilloche dial sporting Arabic Numerals and grey dauphine-style hands. A black rubber strap closes via a de Grisigono butterfly buckle also comprised of stainless steel and coated with black PVD. 36 black diamonds totaling 1.1 carats adds a sophisticated dazzle to complete the look.

Instrumento N° Uno DF S42

If you have an irresistible yearning for the complete black diamond experience, de Grisogono can assist. The Instrumento N° Uno DF is an 18k gold timepiece unabashedly smothered in 478 black diamonds equaling no less than 8.7 carats. Even the black guilloche dial is set with 365 diamonds. The black Galuchat (sting ray) strap completes the pebbled look. This exquisite high jewelry watch is limited to but 10 pieces. Given de Grisogono's star studded following ,including Jennifer Lopez, Alicia Keys, Naomi Campbell, Salma Hayek, Demi Moore, Eva Mendes and Rihanna, it seems de Grisigono will have no trouble finding customers for its newest Black Forever Collection.

Black Forever Meccanico dG N09

The Black Forever Meccanico (left) is my all time favorite de Grisigono timepiece and I am quite pleased, de Grisogono has chosen to incorporate this model into its Black Forever Collection. The Meccanico is unique as it displays a digital read out below the digital time display only utilizing mechanical white mobile microsegments. Thus it is the mechanical movement of the watch which operates the second digital time zone display. For an in depth understanding of the movement of this watch - read my blog The Mechanical Digital Luxury Watch.
This particular model , limited to 10 pieces, is crafted from highly corrosive resistant and light weight titanium. As with all de Grisogono timepieces, scratch resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial and ,in most models, the case back. In addition de Grisogono timepieces are water resistant to 30 meters.

The Occhio Rietizione Minuti (top image) is simply dazzling. 167 black diamonds on bezel and lugs frame a black matt twelve-blade titanium diaphragm dial. A minute repeater, which is an alarm complication sounds on the hour, quarter and minute on three separate gongs and utilizing a cathedral striking. The Occhio Ripetizione was an innovative idea, developed on the same principle as a reflex camera. The Occhio Ripetizione Minuti has a twelve-shutter aperture revealing the movement while the watch is striking. A matt alligator strap affixed via a three ply deployment buckle in 18 k gold coated with black PVD. This highly unique timepiece is limited to 5 pieces.

Black is in and de Grisogono, a company on the forefront of fashion and style, has provided.

The Cricket in Vulcain's Anniversary Heart Watch for Only Watch 2011

2011-09-14T12:11:00.006-04:00

The Only Watch Auction 2011 is an incredible opportunity for fine watch companies to display a unique watch which incorporates individual achievements pertinent to that company. For example, Vulcain's Anniversary Heart Watch harbors the Cricket movement - a movement unique to Vulcain's heritage - as well as a skeletonized dial - another Vulcain signature.

If you are unfamiliar with the Cricket movement, it is an alarm function or reminder function specifically designed by Vulcain for the smaller dimensions of a wrist watch. In this day an age with fancy electronic devices, alarms are taken for granted or even despised. Alarms appear everywhere from $1 digital watches to innovative allusive alarm clocks which actually roll around. However prior to the quartz revolution, all watches were mechanical and relied entirely on the harmonious sequential functioning of multitudes of working parts. At first watches displayed the time in increasing precision, then compasses, tourbillons, perpetual calenders, moon-phases, dual time zones and automatic movements increased the functionality and efficiency of the time pieces. Prior to the early twentieth century, these complications were incorporated in pocket watches, but after Santos-Dumont popularized the wrist watch, pocket watches were laid down in favor of the more handy wrist watch. Alarm functions were available in larger pocket watches and with a larger watch case, the capability of producing a louder sound is evident.

However an effective alarm function in a wrist watch was a quite a challenge to develop. Being that the watch case is small, it was hard to produce a loud audible gong which would arouse a heavy sleeper from slumber..

An alarm function had three problems within a wristwatch case:

1) Audibility

2) Effecting Dust protection

3) Effecting Water resistance

... then in 1947 the problem was solved and heavy sleepers could rest easy, Vulcain presented the Vulcain Cricket. The Cricket was so loud it could penetrate the dreams and arouse the sleeper. This new alarm function woke up the World of Horology.

So how did Robert Ditisheim of Vulcain resolve the alarm audibility dilemma? Well as the name suggests, he turned to mother nature. Let me ask you this. Have you ever tried to fall asleep while a cricket is chirping its nightly song outside your window? Did you hug a pillow to your ear inorder to drown out the noise, but still heard its persistent resonance. AHH! Now you have your answer.

If a tiny cricket could cause such a noise, than surely a wristwatch could do the same. Robert Ditsheim Incorporated a resonance-chamber like that of a cricket by fitting a two-part back to the watch case. The inner back encloses the watch case and serves to generate the sound. A hammer strikes the watch-case ,which oscillates and produces the sound-waves. The outer case has a twofold function: First it permits the sound-generating inner-back to oscillate freely as it has no direct contact with the wearer's wrist. Second it forms a small space between the inner case back which serves as a resonance chamber. Although many Watch Companies have crafted mechanical minute repeaters, none is quite as loud as the Vulcain Cricket.

The Vulcains's Anniversary Heart Watch is a slender mechanical hand wound 12.7mm thick 42mm rose gold case. Being that the watch is hand wound, an oscillating weight (required in most automatic watches) is absent, thereby leaving the exceptionally crafted movement including the skillfully handcrafted main plate, barrel bridge and movement barrel entirely visible beyond the sapphire crystal case back, as well as maintaining the thinness of the watch case.
The Vulcain Cricket sports a 20 second alarm function and a 42 hour power reserve. Ensuring the watch is securely fitted around the wrist, a rose gold buckle is affixed to a black alligator strap.

Swatch Group Breaks Ties with Tiffany & Co.

2011-09-13T15:44:00.002-04:00

Tiffany & Co's unremarkable watch designs failed to impress Swatch Group who eventually gave the company the boot. In 2007, Swatch Group founded Tiffany & Co. Ltd, which was was responsible for the development, production and distribution of Tiffany & Co. branded Watches; however the resulting collections were bland and unassuming lacking a certain charm and color. Where was the Tiffany & Co. which created exquisite jewelry designs dripping with gems and swirling with color? Where was the Tiffany & Co. who created tender dragon fly broaches with elegant wings and tender craftsmanship? Where was the company who supplied magnificent jewelry to renowned New York Vanderbilts and Astors and whose creations are displayed in museums? It seems Tiffany & Co. Ltd watches were left out of the creative company loop, and all that remained was a kind of apologetic collection of watches. Tiffany & Co. can go two ways at this stage, either admitting the company is not ready for the extremely competitive and highly critical watch market and close the watch shop or revamp its collections and create unique timepieces which actually represent Tiffany & Co. quality.

As per the original statement by Swatch Group, see below, both Swatch Group and Tiffany & Co, were highly optimistic about there vision of a long term alliance. This partnership failed to such an extent that "Swatch Group and Tiffany Watch Co. LTD will press claims for damages against Tiffany & Co., New York, in compensation for the loss of planned long-term future business." It seems to me, Swatch Group expected "more" from Tiffany & Co. - A "more" Tiffany & Co did not provide. Tiffany & Co's watches are not bad watches. They may suit the taste of some, and the watches would be quite fitting on the sales floors of less prestigious companies, but being Tiffany & Co. (established in 1837), the watches do not live up to the brand. If their watch brand means to excel, I think they should look to Louis Vuitton, Harry Winston, Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels - companies which have made waves in the world of watches.

Original Statement at Partnership Commencement:

In December 2007 Swatch Group and Tiffany & Co. announced a strategic alliance to further the development, production and worldwide distribution of Tiffany & Co. brand watches. Under the agreement, the new watch company, known as Tiffany Watch Co. Ltd and wholly owned by Swatch Group, will design and manufacture in Switzerland a complete range of high-end luxury watches.
The enormous prestige of the Tiffany & Co. brand and the Swatch Group’s watchmaking expertise and experience in the luxury segment form a powerful platform on which to build one of the world’s top luxury watchmakers.
Tiffany Watch Co. Ltd is a Swiss company. Its products are designed and manufactured in Switzerland and distributed selectively through Swatch Group and Tiffany & Co. retail distribution networks, including monobrand Tiffany & Co. watch boutiques in certain markets outside the United States.

De Bethune Only Watch 2011 Sensual Celestial Charm

2011-09-12T12:33:00.002-04:00

De Bethune Only Watch seems as though it is a porthole to the heavens. Unparalleled watch making expertise accompanied by exquisite renditions of a star filled sky make the DB25 a truly unique display of time. The exact placement of the stars depicted on the dial are in the very same position as the night in Monaco of January 8th, 1297. The very night Francois Grimaldi, Genoese leader of the Guelphs, dressed as a Franciscan monk, captured the rock. De Bethune's Orion and Gemini Constellations are 14 invisibly set white diamonds, while 91 surrounding stars are touches of applied white gold upon a memorizing flame-blued titanium dial providing a sense of the incredible infinite expansiveness of the universe.
Looking at the 6'o'clock position, one notices an aperture displaying a solid silver sandblasted hour and minute discs with Roman Hours and Arabic minute discs or wandering hours. The use of silver as well as the use of both Arabic and Roman Numerals adds a subtle sense of mystery to the timepiece.
The elegant 44mm 18k white gold three body round drum case protects a precise Cal. DB2105S comprising of a twin self -regulating barrel and a De Bethune silicon-platinum annular balance; main plate and bridges in beveled and hand-polished steel; balance spring with flat terminal curve. In addition, the watch is equipped with no less than 29 jewels, which ensure smooth seamless transfer of operations. The incredible movement is visible via a scratch resistant Sapphire crystal case back. Large hollowed lugs secure an alligator strap which fastens with an 18k white gold signature De Bethune buckle.
If you out bid the competition in the Only Watch Auction, which will be held by Antiquorium in Monaco at the end of this month to raise funds and awareness for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, you will receive this watch in a fitted box accompanied by a Certificate. Wish price EUR 100,000 - 150, 000 (source Antiquorium)

Jaeger Le-Coultre Raises Funds for Heart Center in Sudan

2011-09-08T16:34:00.003-04:00

At the 68th Venice International Film Festival running from August 31st to September 10th, 2011, JaegerLeCoultre ,who has been sponsoring the festival for the last seven years and supplying Jaeger- LeCoulture finest glamor to the stars, has decided to use this opportunity to support a worthy cause. On September 1st, on the 2nd night of the festival Jaeger-LeCoultre held an exclusive event: "Reverso for Emergency, Jaeger-LeCoultre Helps the Salam Center".

Just as there are ten glittering nights of the 68th Venice International Film Festival, Jaeger-LeCoultre ,with support of celebrities, will finance ten operations at the Salam Center. The Salam Center was established in 2007 by Emergency Association in Khartoum, Sudan and specializes in children and adults suffering from heart disease. The center provides these procedures free of charge to patients who otherwise would have no means of paying for their medical treatment.

In honor of this worthy cause, Jaeger-LeCoultre unveiled a Reverso featuring a red heart as if drawn by the hand of a happy child. The Reverso design is turning 80 this year. First developed in 1931 at the fervent request of British Officers in India who enjoyed a hearty game of polo but feared damage to the crystal of their timepiece.

As the story is told:

Cesar de Trey, an influential businessman, who was a close associate of Jacques-David LeCoultre visited friends in India.
A polo player approached him, "Sir, I challenge you to create a timepiece that can survive a game of polo with its crystal intact."

This challenge founded the legend of the Reverso. A Patent for Reverso was filed on March 4, 1931: A watch capable of sliding in its base and of turning completely on its axis to turn the crystal inward.

Corum Admiral Cup Seafender 47 Tourbillon GMT

2011-09-07T14:24:00.001-04:00

Corum combines supreme elegance & intriguing complications in its latest edition to the iconic Admiral Cup Collection. This model is quite a far cry from previous Admiral Cup models featuring loud and brightly colored nautical flags emblazoned beneath the bezel. Keeping with the Admiral Cup tradition, nautical flags are featured beneath the bezel; however quite a bit more discrete. This down playing of the nautical flags seems to be the newer Admiral Cup trend, perhaps because the actual Admiral Cup international sailing regatta has been a no show for almost a decade. All due respect to Corum, this is one of the finest Admiral Cup Timepieces I have ever seen. The iconic twelve sided of the bezel has been softened slightly and crafted from glowing rose gold. The 47mm dial is spacious sporting an exquisite tourbillon complication and a dual time zone. The key of Corum is incorporated in the tourbillon movement and seems to unlock time with the rotation of the tourbillon within the signature key cage. The diagonal lines across the dial provide the perception of space on a dial which otherwise may seem cluttered.
Since this is a nautical timepiece, a second time zone is a critical especially if one is traveling across longitudes. A handy pusher at the 4 'o' clock sets the second time zone, which is visible on a sub dial at the 6 'o'clock position, and just in case one is holed in the bowels of a ship, a day night indicator provides clues to the outside. At the 3 'o' clock position, the day of the month is perfectly placed.
Some say the see through case back is as alluring as the dial, since an exceptional large Corum caliber CO397 automatic movement is entirely visible via a scratch resistant sapphire crystal treated with an anti-reflective coating.
A power reserve of 50 hours ensures the watch remains ticking off the wrist for at least 50 hours. The timepiece is water resistant to 50 meters thanks to gaskets and a screw in case back, however 50 meters does limits its uses around too much water; however for $70,000 I would be quite careful where and when I wear the watch.
This watch is also available in aluminum for $47,000 in a truly handsome matt black.

Artya Creates "Son of a Gun" for Ultimate Watch Protection Action

2011-08-30T12:37:00.002-04:00

Watch companies go to unrepresented lengths to provide watches with ultimate protection, such as utilizing scratch resistant sapphire crystal to protect the dial, using materials such as titanium & forged steel to provide the ultimate resilience and corrosion resistance, using gaskets and screw-in case back to provide water resistance, crafting tourbillons to protect the watch from forces of gravity and utilizing alloy components and cages crafted from highly conductive materials to protect the watch movement from magnetic field.

However Artya has decided on more direct approach to watch protection with the "Son of a Gun" timepiece. Weapon enthusiasts will undoubtedly find this watch shooting to the top of their "must have" list. Merging weapons and horology is a unique idea, although not so far removed as to make the entire concept astounding, after all shooting and hitting a target is all about precision and perfect timing.
The watch bezel and dial resemble a target with carved notches at the 12, 9, 6 and 3 'o' clock position. The dial is comprised of six 6mm bullets, which the designer connected using copper wire in a dynamite formation with more copper wire running along the skeletonized ultra sharp watch hands. My suggestion - don't try bring this watch on a plane- you might have some explaining to do.
The dial of the "Son of a Gun" is protected by high quality sapphire crystal with a water resistance of 50 meters. A sapphire crystal case back reveals the rotor balanced by the backs of 38 mm bullets. I got to say this is one cool watch.
If you want a unique timepiece you've always got Artya.

Concord C2 Chronograph. Concord's Coolest Collection Yet.

2011-08-23T12:06:00.004-04:00

Concord, owned by Movado Group, has finally found the balance between over-the-top futuristic watches and plain boring outdated watches with its brand new new C2 collection. Don't get me wrong, I think Concord Delirium's, Saratoga's and La Scala's definitely had a place in the 20th century, but style's change and the world moves on. On the flip side I think the C1 models ,such as the highly publicized Concord C1 QuantumGravity Tourbillon Watch (see inset left below), born from the new improved Concord Company was a daring adventurous leap from the super slim seriously elegant Deliriums and such. The C1's are bold rugged powerful timepieces built to impress; however, due to the large merging sub dials, the dial seems a bit cluttered and difficult to read.

C1 QuantumGravity Tourbillon

However looking at the C2, I feel the C2 is definitely a leap in the right direction. Concord has softened the C2 making the lines slightly more fluid and shrinking the sub dials, thus increasing the readability of the dial while maintaining the bold presence of the timepiece without being too overbearing. The use of a matt black finish adds an elegant simplicity while exuding a sense of powerful resilience. The entire look of the 43 mm black PVD-treated stainless steel watch whispers unhindered speed and powerful precision. An ETA 2894-2 automatic mechanical movement powers the watch. An alluring red-accented black vulcanized rubber strap promises extreme comfort as it is attached directly to the watch case without the use of lugs or pins. A folding clasp crafted from black PVD-treated stainless steel securely fastens the Concord C2 to the wrist. In addition C2 is proudly emblazoned on the case back in no uncertain terms.

Concord has balanced this watch very well. I have a feeling the C2 Chronograph will do very well. Looking forward to see this watch on the market costing $6,500 for the black PVD case and a bit under $6,000 for the stainless steel case. This watch is less expensive than its forerunner - the C1 Collection.

Hublot Oceanographic 4000 for Only Watch 2011

2011-08-22T12:14:00.001-04:00

Back in April I blogged about Hublot's Diver watch, which could accompany a diver down 4000m - if a diver could in fact dive to that depth. In reality a diver cannot . Hublot made this watch as a symbolic gesture to push the limits of rationality and endurance. One thing is for certain, if the Hublot Oceanographic watch is unwittingly dropped over the side of a ship, it will merrily keep on ticking ,surrounded by inquisitive fish, on the ocean floor since the Hublot Oceanographic can endure the pressure and resist water at a depth of 4000m. Hublot spent 18 months of intense research and development to create a watch with this type of water resistance and pressure endurance.
The model depicted above is based on the original Diver's Watch and is Hublot's contribution to the Only Watch Auction 2011, to raise charity for the awareness and research of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
For a watch to be presented by a company for the Only Watch Auction it must be either the first watch of a limited edition, or a completely unique model.

Hublot's Oceanographic 4000 timepiece is unique in that it is the very first watch crafted from ultra-technical carbon fiber. The watches colors - bright red with white accents- represent the colors of Monaco's flag. The signature "King Power" 48mm case and bezel is crafted from an attractive and powerful Matt Carbon Fiber. The Matt Black dial sports bold red indexes treated with white SuperLuminova, which enables clear dial readout in murky or dark conditions. The dial is protected by Scratch Resistant Sapphire crystal. The watch is powered with precision by HUB1401 automatic movement comprised of 180 components and 23 jewels with a 42 hour power reserve. The red stitched alligator strap on black rubber accentuates the red on the dial and is affixed to the wrist via a black PVD titanium ardillon buckle. bright red strap complements the red on the

Looking Back at The Concept Watch with No Face

2011-08-19T11:16:00.000-04:00

Looking very much like a time portal, the M60M has no watch dial to speak of . All the time display is in the bezel. This awesome concept designed by Roger Kellenberger in 2007 brought the quest for an uncluttered dial to a whole new level. I wonder what Nathan George Horwitt, creator of the Movado Museum Watch would think of that. If you are a stickler for punctuality this watch may not be for you, since the steel and rubber M60M only displays time in full hours and full quarter of an hour. No seconds and no minutes. So I bet you are wondering where the movement is located. Well there is only one place it can be located and that is in the bezel. The hour and quarter of an hour markings are fixed on the bezel and a single rotating marker indicates the time. The watch is precise, to the quarter of an hour. The strap is also pretty cool with a unique closing system which springs open with a touch of a button. Roger Kellenberger gave no prospective date the watch will be available for purchase, and still four years down the line the M60M still has not made its debut, maybe he is a bit ahead of time since this watch would look great with those intergalactic space suits.

Iconic Watch Designer Gerald Genta has died

2011-08-17T12:57:00.006-04:00

Gerald Genta, iconic watch designer has died.

Although I never had the privilege to meet him, his exceptional watch designs, such as the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Timepiece, became the standard to which I base timeless watch design. In the past I have written numerous blogs about Gerald Genta, as he was one of the first watch makers whose genius caught my attention. The Horological World will sorely miss one of the greatest watch designers of our time. I would like to extend sincere condolences to his family and friends. May he Rest in Peace.

In his memory I present links to my Blogs about Gerald Genta and his work.

Icelandic Watch Company Pays Tribute to its Volcano

2011-08-16T12:44:00.002-04:00

JS Watch Co. located in Reykjavik Iceland incorporates its ancient heritage into every timepiece. Established in 2005 by four passionate watch collectors, JS Watch Co. first collection sprang to life. The journey to create the first Icelandic Watch Company Collection was preceded by formulation of ideas, collection designs and the strive to create a watch of exceptional quality, which will become heirlooms for the next generations. This perfection in craftsmanship, designed and assembled by hand in Iceland using only the highest quality Swiss movements and European materials, has paid off and JS Watch Co has gained global admiration.
JS Watch Co. newest watch model pays tribute to the explosive and quite disruptive (if you recall the cloud of ash saga disrupting air travel in 2010) Eyjafjallajokull. JS Watch Co. introduces The Frisland goð Timepiece sporting a dial created using the ashes from the Eyjafjallajökull eruption. Fixing volcanic ash on the dial requires some creativity in technique. A clear color is applied to the galvanic black dial, after which volcanic ash is sprinkled onto the clear color whilst it is still wet. The color and ash is then dried and polished. The polishing process is undertaken with great care to ensure the texture and properties of the ash prevail. Bold white indexes and a 12 and 6 as well as a bright red “goð” are applied to the dial. The word “goð” is a reference to history of the People of Icelandic and their smooth conversion to Christianity in 1000 AD. This was in part to the incredible impression ,the eruptions and rumblings of the earth spewing lava and spurting fiery hot molten rock, had on their decision.

Romain Jerome also paid tribute to Eyjafjallajokul, in its DNA collection.

The Frisland goð Timepiece is an automatic mechanical timepiece powered by a "Execution Top" movement with a 38 hour power reserve. The watch is equipped with a shock protection Incabloc, which is a trade name for a spring-loaded mounting system for the jewel bearings which support the balance wheel. This system protects the wheel's pivots from harm if the watch is subjected to sudden sharp movements. The 42mm case is crafted from German grade stainless steel 316L. The dial is protected by scratch resistant Sapphire Crystal. Sapphire Crystal covers the case back enabling one to view the intricate workings of the movement. The Rhodium plated hands are covered with luminescent material for time display in dim conditions. The Alligator or Ostrich and Calf Skin strap is closed by a JS Watch co. Reykjavik buckle or optional deployment clasp.

It seems JS Watch Co has taken great strides in ensuring optimum quality, while infusing its collections with a taste of Icelandic Heritage.

Corum's Admiral's Cup Seafender 48 Deep Dive to 1000 Feet

2011-08-15T23:40:00.000-04:00

Corum adds a watch to the long list of diver's watches which can dive far deeper than man can venture beneath the ocean. However, venture or not, the new Corum's Admiral Cup Seafender 48 Deep Dive is a impressive Diver's watch equipped with all the necessary diving functions.
In all serious diving watches I always look for a Helium Valve. In this case the Corum has one. A helium valve is crucial in scuba diving scenarios. A helium valve enables divers who operate at great depths and spend prolonged hours under extreme pressure breathing a mix like trimix containing gases such as helium (tiny molecules) or hydrogen (smallest molecules found in nature) to release the helium molecules that have worked their way through the o-rings or other seals. The helium and hydrogen molecules cause no damage when the watch is at great depths under pressure but as soon as the diver resurfaces, a pressure difference occurs between the trapped gas(es) inside the watch case and the surrounding air. This can cause the crystal to pop off damaging the watch thus the helium valve is a crucial edition to diving watches enabling the diver to release the gas build up and restore equilibrium.

Other properties of the Corum Admiral's Cup Seafender 48 deep Dive which makes it a hard core Diver's Watch. The watch adheres to the strict ISO 6425 guidelines relating to Diver's Watches, which is defined as: "A watch designed to withstand diving in water at depths of at least 100 m and possessing a system to control the time"
The testing of Diving Watches occurs in still water under 125% of rated water pressure. In other words, a watch claiming a 200 meter water resistance rating has been tested in still water at a depth of 250 meters.
Diving watches are tested in static or still water under 125% of the rated (water)pressure, thus a watch with a 200 meter rating will be water resistant if it is stationary and under 250 meters of static water.
Corum has met the criteria by crafting the watch with a Grade 5 titanium case. Grade 5 titanium is considered an alloy as it consists of 6% aluminum, 4% vanadium, 0.25% iron, 0.2% Oxygen and the remaining percentage titanium. Titanium Grade 5 is utilized extensively in Aerospace, Medical, Marine, and Chemical Processing as it is stronger than commercially pure titanium while maintaining its stiffness and thermal properties. Titanium Grade 5 is heat treatable, strong & corrosion resistance.
Corum has crafted the 48mm case with a thickness of 18.9mm and a screw down crown. An automatic Caliber CO947 with a power reserve of 42 hours is a certified Chronometer as certified by the COSC.

Nautical Flags fly just below the unidirectional rotating bezel- a signature of all Admiral Cup Corum Watches. Another crucial aspect of a Diver's Watch is the readout in murky conditions. Depending on the version, this watch is available in two, the hands and hour markers are coated in either highly luminescent bi-light orange coating (watch image above) or black superluminova. The dial read out is clear as a result of the bold markings. Central hours and minutes as well as a small seconds at the 9'o'clock and day and date at the 3 'o'clock provide crucial time tracking.
The Corum Admiral's Cup Seafender 48 Deep Dive is available in two versions, the first which I have described above in bright orange is available in a limited edition of 200 and a PVD blackened version with a Grade 5 titanium case sports a 18 carat gold bezel, which is available in a limited edition of 100.
For a diver serious about diving, a Corum Admiral's Cup Seafender 48 Deep Dive, won't leave you high and dry.

Romain Jerome Only Watch 2011 Dial Extracted from Rock of Monaco

2011-08-12T11:22:00.004-04:00


Romain Jerome Rock the Rock DNA

Romain Jerome presents Rock the Rock DNA timepiece at the Only Watch Auction held by Antiquorium next month in Monaco to raise funds for research into Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The rocky surface of the dial surrounded by a Black matte ceramic Bezel is actually crafted from rock taken from the ancient part of Monaco known as the "Rock of Monaco" . The "Rock of Monaco" is a giant 459 foot Monolith jutting into the Mediterranean sea on which sits the "Old Town" of Monaco - not far from the Prince's palace. The dial was extracted from the west cliff of the Monaco rock for the Only Watch Auction on February 10th ,2011 by Philippe Mondielli, geologist and scientific director of the Prince Albert II of Foundation and Luc Pettavino, President of the Monaco Association Against Muscular Dystrophy.

Red lines of Latitude and Longitude on the rock dial and small seconds hand intersect at the Principality of Monaco. The Red line of Longitude extend from dial to black rolled-edge alcantara strap. Beneath the rock dial within a 46mm PVD black case beats a Caliber C22RJ51- Automatic Mechanical movement with a power reserve of 42 hours. The sides of the case are crafted from black satin-finished PVD-coated steel complimented by the same material on the lugs and lug inserts. The paws are crafted from highly resilient black ceramic and titanium screws and the crown is comprised of black PVD coated steel with rubber..

On the case back is a Rock the Rock engraving. This watch is a Limited Edition of One, and part of Romain Jerome's DNA collection.

Gold Stands the Test of Time

2011-08-11T12:13:00.003-04:00

I am getting quite dizzy from all the see sawing occurring in the stock market, and the talk around the water cooler is gold. Gold! Gold! GOLD!
"So how much do you think the Kruger Rands ,I bought a couple of years ago, go for?"
or "I should have bought gold instead of Fannie Mae shares".

With gold prices soaring, gold actually makes money for you by simply being gold. Aside from the vast uses of gold in electronics, aeronautics, aesthetics e.t.c, the use of gold for making watches cases has been around for centuries.
So if you don't want your gold just sitting around being gold then purchase a luxury gold watch. With a luxury gold watch, you got the gold and you got the function. I would suggest, if you are looking into purchasing a gold watch, purchase a gold watch with a mechanical movement.
In higher end gold watches such as Blancpain Men's 18k rose gold case (see right), the mechanical movement within the gold watch case adds to the watches value making the watch, well, timeless. (for the record -Blancpain has never manufactured a quartz watch.).

Another property that adds value to the watch, is the level of complication. This Blancpain timepiece is a chronograph which adds to its desirability. Another complication ,which heightens the value in high end watches, is a perpetual calender. The reason is in the complexity of the craftsmanship compounded by the huge number of additional working parts. One of the most coveted perpetual calenders is the Royal Oak Men's Perpetual Calender. The watch is 23% off the list price at THE WATCHERY, available for $95,000. The 18k brushed rose gold and bracelets adds its weight in gold, but it's the exceptional movement which adds to the price. In addition to the perpetual calender, this watch is a limited edition timepiece. Thus anytime you purchase a limited edition of exceptional quality, you know the time piece is a collectors item and has a high resale value. Not only is the timepiece limited edition, its limited edition is within the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak collection. Unveiled in 1972 and distinctive by its 8 sided bezel, this collection has a large following of collectors.
This timepiece also has a moon phase, a skeletonized watch face (the movement of the watch is visible beneath the dials). In addition, day, date, month, leap year - functions of the perpetual calender are displayed via subdials all add to the watches worth.
To invest in gold in times of economic uncertainty is wise, to invest in gold high end complicated mechanical luxury watches is even wiser.

The Striking Breguet Réveil Musical Only Watch 2011

2011-08-08T13:53:00.003-04:00

Breguet has unveiled a touching timepiece for the Only Watch Auction to be held this September at Monaco Yacht Show to raise charity for the research of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. A child upon the dial face reaches to grasp the hand of an adult. Breguet cites the significance of this gesture as a symbol of inter-generational solidarity and support for research on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. This watch is based on Breguet's newest model of its Classique Complications Collection.
A ring of musical notes upon an elegantly engraved musical stave surround the 48mm 18 carat white gold watch case hinting at a song. The song "castle in the sky" emanates from the watch via a unique patented music box mechanism, either on demand or at a preset time. A push button at the 10 'o'clock position starts the music. This model is based on Breguet's new self-winding movement incorporating a silicon escapement with a Breguet balance-spring. The Réveil Musical timepiece houses a ingenious patented musical mechanism.
A disc baring pins replaces the traditional music-box cylinder and alternately acts on the 15 metal teeth of the comb. A Liquidmetal® membrane engine-turned by hand amplifies the frequencies required to emit the tune.

During the song, the dial turns a complete 360 degrees. A 55 hour power reserve, displayed in vivid blue via an aperture at the 3 'o'clock position indicates if the song will play. If not enough power is available, the song will not begin. The song , not only serves an entertainment function, but also serves as an alarm. To determine whether the alarm is on or off, one only has to glance at a discrete round aperture between the 9 and 10 'clock. The most touching aspect of the watch is the rotating hand-gouilloche dial engraved with the image of a boy stretching out his hand to meet the hand of the adult on the flange.
Blued steel hollow moon tipped hands display the time, while a delicately carved Treble Clef serves as a counter balance to the seconds hand.
The Breguet Réveil Musical Only Watch 2011 is powered by a mechanical self-winding movement Calibre 0900 and water resistant to 30 meters. The watch is numbered and bares the Breguet signature as well as the inscription "piece unique" on the case back.

Vacheron Constantin on Madison and 64th, New York, NY

2011-08-05T11:11:00.007-04:00

on June 23rd, 2011, Vacheron Constantin arrived in New York, and if you don't believe me just check out the tell tale signs of the yellow cabs, blinking walk sign ... and "oh Yes" how could I forget - the street sign above the One Way sign reading "Madison Avenue". Yes! Vacheron Constantin has definitely come to New York.

For this momentous occasion - this is the first boutique Vacheron Constantin has opened in USA - the 256 year old company - is selling an exclusive Overseas Chronograph Perpetual Calendar “New York”. The dial, of course, is in the American Red, white and blue colors, looking as busy as rush hour in New York. It is quite intriguing that Vacheron Constantin opted, for the first time, to add a perpetual complication to its chronograph function within its stainless steel 42mm Overseas case.
Vacheron Constantin obviously wanted to make a big impression on a big city. A Perpetual calender complication adds many components to the movement, as the calender accounts for the differing lengths of the months as well as leap years. This watch contains 228 parts and oscillates at 21,600 vph. Most perpetual calenders need no adjustments until the year 2100. (Remember to tell that to the great grand kids), unless of course the power reserve of 40 hours diminish. A 48 month counter with a leap-year indication keeps one up to date. On the dark blue sun ray satin finished dial, 12 applied trapezoid hour-markers in 18K white gold coated with white luminescent material enable excellent read out in dim conditions. A sub dial at 6 o’clock position accounts for the seconds accompanied ,in the same sub dial, by a moon phase display. The dial is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, coated on the inside with anti-reflective treatment. In addition, this watch is quite protected from the hustle and bustle of New York, with its 150 meter water resistance - in case one is caught in a heavy rainstorm or gets splashed at the curb by a careening yellow cab through a melting mound of snow. A soft iron cage surrounding the movement protects the watch from wandering magnetic fields. (truthfully I must do more research into the anti-magnetic properties of a watch)
On the screw down case back emblazoned with a sea vessel ( found on all "Overseas" collections), the number of the watch out of 20, is depicted. This watch is limited to just 20 pieces. In addition the location of the new Vacheron Constantin Boutique " Madison and 64th" is clearly marked on the dial.

A hand-stitched, saddle finished, large squale-scales strap in dark blue Mississippiensis alligator leather with a red leather inner shell completes the "American" look. Costing $57,900.00, the watch is securely fixed around the wrist with a stainless steel triple-blade folding clasp sporting double security with buttons and Vacheron Constantin's polished half Maltese cross.

Omega Unveils Seamaster 1948 Co Axiel "London 2012" Limited Edition

2011-08-03T12:50:00.002-04:00

To Commemorate Omega's 80th year of Olympic timekeeping come summer 2012, Omega unveils the Omega Seamaster 1948 Co- Axiel "London 2012" Limited Edition, exactly the year to the date before the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics. London 2012 will mark the 25th time Omega is named the Official Olympic Timekeeper. Omega's first Olympic timekeeping year was back in Los Angeles 1932. Omega kept time using its chronographs and stop-watches developed by its subsidiary Lemania. Omega's use of its 1948 Seamaster to commemorate the Olympic London 2012 is by know means a coincidence: 1948 marked the debut of the Seamaster and it the last time London hosted the Olympics. Thus it stand to reason this watch will only be available in limited edition of 1,948 pieces.

Seamaster Professional 300m Vancouver 2010 Olympics Watch

In 2012 the demand for timekeeping precision is even greater with Omega's increasing ability to mark the time in smaller and smaller increments. In addition, Omega is responsible for compiling the data and statistics of the games and the hiring of expert data processing professionals. The highly efficient time keeping techniques of Omega has come a long way from the 1948 Olympics when Omega introduced the "Magic Eye" - a photo finish camera Omega pioneered for sports.

No sign of the London 2012 Olympics mark the dial of the Omega Seamaster 1948 Co Axiel "London 2012" , as in previous years-see inset, which may disappoint some who were expecting to see Olympic Colored Numbers and the interlocking Olympic circles. However, as you can see the Olympic London 2012 logo is emblazoned on the case back on a yellow gold disc looking very much like an Olympic gold medal. The watch itself is the picture of elegance - a fine commemoration piece rather than a rugged portrayal of sports.

Within its 39mm polished and brushed stainless steel case, is an Omega Caliber 2202 with a Co- Axiel escapement (now a mainstay on all new Omega timepieces) on three levels and a free sprung-balance. The movement of the timepiece has undergone rigorous testing and consequently awarded the title of chronometer. A polished stainless steel bezel frames a opaline silver dial marked by a white gold vintage Omega logo, and a small seconds dial at the 6 'o'clock position bringing a touch of blue to its face . Four white gold bold Arabic Numerals mark the 3, 6, 9 & 12 dial positions while slender hour indicators mark the rest. Polished Stainless Steel Lugs hold a leather strap in place, which closes via a vintage polished stainless buckle.

This latest edition to Omega's longstanding and historic contribution to the Olympic Games is a fine example of the brevity of timekeeping tradition without being blinded by ribbons and frills.

Van Cleef & Arpels Whimsical Display of Space for Only Watch Auction

2011-07-22T13:02:00.001-04:00

Van Cleef & Arpels Only Watch "From the Earth to the Moon" is a whimsical childlike representation of space. A perfect choice for the Only Watch Auction in Monaco to benefit the research and treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. A terrible debilitating childhood disease. The dial of the watch is a display of color depicting bright stars and colorful planets. A vivid orange and red planet encircled by rings or is it the sun indicating orbits (I can't tell - my knowledge of astronomy needs some work) command the top of the watch and separate the retrograde hours and minutes. A tiny rocket ship travels from 0 to 60 pointing to the minutes, whilst a shooting star travels from 1 to 12 indicating the hours. At their end points, both rocket ship and star shoot back to the 0 or 1 respectively. The watch is a true retrograde displaying the time in an arc as opposed to the traditional analog dial. The earth displayed at the very bottom of the watch is a healthy green and blue planet spilling over onto the bezel. Mars - The Red Planet takes center stage. Van Cleef & Arpels uses inlays of jade, agate, meteorite and Champlevé-style enamel, to achieve true primary colors. The watch is powered by a JLC Caliber 846 manuel-wind mechanical movement equipped with a unique retrograde mechanism found exclusively in Van Cleef & Arpels Timepieces.

The Van Cleef & Arpel "From the Earth to the Moon" is part of the exquisite "Poetic Complication Timepieces"

10 Good Reasons to Purchase an Invicta Watches

2011-07-21T12:08:00.017-04:00

1) Invicta Watches are 91% off the MSRP at The Watchery- if you don't believe me just check out this Invicta Men's Force GMT Maroon Dial with a Maroon Polyurethane & Titanium accented strap from THE WATCHERY

2) Invicta Watches are good quality watches for reasonable prices, and that's not a coincidence - it was the vision of Invicta Watches founder, Raphael Picard, when he started the company back in 1837 in La Chaux-de-fonds, Switzerland. For over a century Invicta created mechanical automatic timepieces of exceptional craftsmanship and unique design at prices people could afford. The "Quartz Scare" dealt a powerful blow to the operations of Invicta, and the company went under. However, just like the resilience of Invicta watches today, Invicta reemerged in 1991 thanks to the descendants of Raphael Picard. They never lost sight of the founder's vision of creating good quality watches for affordable prices.

Men's S1 GMT Blue and White Dial Blue Polyurethane

3) Invicta combines different watch materials to create 100's of different styles and colors. The Invicta Men's G-Force displayed at the top of the post, sports a Titanium Case and a bold arrangement of Polyurethane and Titanium.

4) The dials of Invicta watches are protected by a Flame fusion crystal (Flame-Fusion™ is an Invicta trademark- 2009), which is a cheaper alternative to the more traditional Sapphire Crystal, and has greater scratch resistance than mineral crystal - used in older Invicta models. In addition the Flame fusion crystal is a much clearer window to the time.

5) Many Invicta watches have a highly efficient lume on the dial hands and hour markers. The lume is known as Tritnite® only exclusive to Invicta. Tritnite® requires an initial 4-5 hours of exposure to light after which it will maintain its phosphorescent properties with regular light exposures. In Invicta Luminary Sports Collection luminous tubes or mb-Microtec H3 are fitted into the area's requiring luminescence. This technology was first used in military operations, with luminescence 100x greater than traditional lume. The luminescence was so bright , soldiers were made to wear a cover over the watch to prevent being recognized as a target.

6) Invicta Watches are big, some coming in at 58mm like the SEA HUNTER CHRONO, an impressive watch if one has the wrist to wear it. When buying an Invicta, pay careful attention to the size of your watch. For a point of reference most very large men’s watches are 48mm. So if you want a big watch, Invicta's got you covered.

7) Invicta Watches are shock absorbent like The GRAND DIVER PRO AUTOMATIC, which is a mechanical self-winding shock resistant timepiece.So if you are in a situation where you gotto shake rattle and roll, your Invicta timepiece will keep on ticking, just the way you like it.

Women's Subaqua/Noma III GMT White Leather


Invicta Reserve/Venom

8) Since this is a seriously hot summer, (the thermometer tops 100 F today), the cool refreshing water is a calling, but what about your watch. I mean you don't want to take off your watch, leave it on the beach and next thing you know its disappeared down a crab hole. NO! You want to swim with your Invicta on your wrist. Invicta sees to this dilemma too, don't you worry. Most Invicta watches are water resistant to 100 meters, although not suitable for diving, is fine for surfing, swimming, snorkeling, sailing & water sports. For serious diving, Invicta Sea Hunter Chrono and Arsenal II Chrono Collections are water resistant to 300 meters, a depth suitable for Scuba Diving. For the Ladies, The LADY SUBAQUA NOMA IV AUTOMATIC (image above) collection, has a water resistance of up to 500 meters. Many Invicta models are water resistant to 660 feet and some like the Invicta Men's Reserve/Venom are water resistant to 1000 meters.

9) Invicta watches, not only are precise time tellers, but are bold and confident addition to ones wardrobe and image - meant to be noticed. I mean just check out The Men's Lupah Automatic Chronograph Diamond Black Leather $499.99

On sale for 90% off the MSRP. Now that's an image maker. The case is Gunmetal ion plated stainless steel (it screams - don't mess with me); dial is sunray gunmetal; strap is black leather, but what is an image without a touch of bling. There are 53 white encrusted diamonds on hour markers and Arabic numerals.

10) Depending on your watch requirements, Invicta sells watches to suit your needs.

Compasses - as available in its Invicta Coalition Forces Collection

Diver’s Scale on the turning bezel in some diving models. This function lets the diver preset the time submerged in minutes. Some Diver Scale Watches are beneath the crystal and must be turned using a pusher at the 9' o'clock position.
Chronograph - Invicta has a huge array of timepieces with a Chronograph Fuction - the Invicta Sea Hunter Collection, Arsenal II Chrono Collections, The S1 Sports Chrono, Corduba Chrono Sport, just to name a few.So if you ever need to measure the duration of an event, Invicta Chronograph watches will serve you on style.

Invicta in Latin means “Invincible”, a name with origins dating back to ancient Rome, and with the message of "invincibility" strapped to ones wrist, the problems of the day somehow seem manageable.

What is Chronofiable Certified?

2011-04-06T12:31:00.000-04:00

Just recently I happened upon the term Chronofiable®, thanks to the super lightweight RM 035 manufactured by Richard Mille. The RM 035 is the first Richard Mille manual winding movement to have a Chronofiable Certification and weighs a mere 4.3 grams.

What is a Chronofiable Certification? It is a Certification awarded to a timepiece that has undergone and passed a series of tests focusing on the durability and reliability of a movement worn on the wrist on a a regular basis. For example Richard Mille boasts excellence, durability and reliability on the tennis court. Under these circumstances the watch is subjected to extreme shock when the wearers wrist swings and makes contact with racket to ball. In fact, 2010 three time tennis champion and Richard Mille ambassador, Rafeal Nadel, wore his RM 027 tourbillon while competing at Wimbledon. Although that watch was not Chronofiable certified, the new RM 035 is. The extreme testing the watch has endured to obtain the Chronofiable Certification will give some indication on how and how long this new model will fare on the tennis court.

How is this different than the Chronometer Certification tests? The rigorous testing in accordance with the ISO 3159 norm focuses more on the precision of the timepiece whereas the Chronfiable certification focuses on the durability, or wear and tear, of the timepiece over an extended period of wearing time. (click here to learn more about the COSC Certificate)

How is this Certification different than the Geneva Seal? The Geneva Seal focuses more on the aesthetics of the movement and is predominately concerned with finishing and decoration. In regard to the Geneva Seal, precision tests are available ,but not required, as part of the inspection process. The Geneva Seal inspects the current quality of the craftsmanship and compilation, and is not directly concerned with the ultimate durability; although, it can be ascertained that the better materials, craftsmanship and assembly will lead to better durability.(click here to learn more about the Geneva Seal)

What types of tests does the timepiece undergo to become Chronofiable?
The timepiece is exposed to a accelerated aging test over the course of 21 days, which is equivalent to six months of constant wear. This process is divided into many components:
a) Initial inspection of the movements functions serve as a baseline for future changes occurring during the testing process.
b)Subjecting the timepiece to climatic cycles in dry/wet environment from –70°C to +180°C and measuring the resulting corrosion and performance.
c)Measuring the pull and push forces on the stem.
d) Measuring the forces exerted on push buttons such as chronograph controls, correctors as well as turning bezel.
e) Monitoring the efficiency of the power reserve.
f) Monitoring the movements reaction to magnetic fields.
g)Subjecting the movement to intensive linear and angular accelerations and decelerations.
h) Striking the movement with a heavy pendulum or striker, and subjecting it to some 20,000 shocks ranging from 250 to 5500 m/s2 (a constant acceleration of one metre per second squared) - not applied to timepieces with delicate complications.
i) Testing water resistance.
j) Performing electrical measurements.
k) UV testing on leather straps.
l) Performing the final monitoring phase, which involves applying the same monitoring technique used in the initial monitoring phase, and comparing the results. These results indicate if the timepiece can be awarded the Chronofiable distinction.

When was the Chronofiable test developed? The Chronofiable was initially a random series of reliability tests performed by the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry (FH) in the 1960's and 1970's. These tests were performed with great success on about 1000 to 2000 "worn on the wrist" watches leading to the "Chronofiable reliability test procedure developed by a team of technicians resulting in the creation of the "Swiss Watch Industry Reliability Test Center (CCF SA)"
In 1985, the CCF SA was assigned to the Laboratoire Dubois and Chronofiable became a registered trademark.

Which label of quality requires the Chronofiable certification? The Fleurier Quality Label.

How valid is the Chronofiable testing procedure or in other words does the testing actually test how the wrist watch behaves on the wrist? Since there is an excellent correlation between the wear and tear of watches worn on the wrist and those subjected to the testing, the conclusion is that the Chronofiable testing is a valid way to determine the effects of the watch being worn on the wrist over time. This has been proven on numerous occasions with many types of movements and many brands. This, Chronofiable testing is an accurate predictor of how the watch with this type of certification will perform over time.

How is the reliability of the procedure insured? To maximize good reproducibility of the test conditions and ensure consistent long-term comparisons, the testing equipment is regularly updated, serviced and calibrated. The test parameters have not been changed in 30 years, thus providing the watch industry with a exceptional standard to grade the durability of a timepiece.

Does all testing need 21 days? No. Functions and components less effected by the frequency of tests imposed, such as tightness of back cover screws and casing-up screws, dial and hand integrity, can be tested over a shorter time period by subjecting the timepiece to accelerated application of multi directional shocks; however to reduce the entire testing procedure to just a few days will undermine the quality of the testing procedure and provide little indication of the actual performance of a watch worn at all times on a wrist. To date the Chronofiable testing is the best indicator of the durability of the wristwatch in its natural settings.

Although, Richard Mille has just unveiled the RM 035, the tests it has undergone to ensure its durability have been around for 30 years.

Green is the color of the day thanks to the Irish, and here at The Watchery we provide the hue.

Check out this gorgeous ensemble from Gevril. The entire watch exuding an elegant charm is part of Gevril's Glamor collection - one of only 500 pieces. Gevril produces only 6000 pieces a year, thus owning a Gevril timepiece is owning something quite unique.

Glamour Green Dial Leather Women's Automatic Watch

Click here to read more about the History of Gevril - Watchmaker to the Crown

One of my favorite watches sports a green dial. The Chopard Mille Miglia Automatic Chronometer Tachometer Chronograph is designed to accompany a serious driver on the road. Equipped with a precision Chronograph and a Tachymeter, this watch will clock your progress on even the most grueling road trips.
A Tachymeter is a scale on the bezel which gives the speed of a moving object, in conjunction with the second hand. A Tachymeter takes a value determined in less than a minute and converts it into miles per hour. A chronograph is a timepiece that is fitted with an additional mechanism that may be set in motion by knobs to enable the measurement of the duration of an event.

In 1988 Chopard started its partnership with Mille Miglia and became the official time keeper. Chopard merged the world of car racing and timepieces with its powerful collection of sports watches, aptly labeled Mille Miglia. These precision sports watches are a representation of the world of car racing. The watches impart a integral sense of the road with its dials fashioned like the gauges of a race car.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

60 watch brands will be displaying their newest designs including technological advancements, unique creations and exceptional craftsmanship. Watch lovers, private collectors, and watch dealers will head to the Geneva Time Exhibition.

In addition, there will be quite a competition in place, the GTE SUPERWATCH 2011 Award. The award will be bestowed on an independent watch which displays a extreme technical innovation and craftsmanship, a time telling application quite unique to the watch making world, and supreme creativity. I am sure a intriguing take on a complication may be a plus. Six independent judges will award a single watch, and the prize... a free spot at GTE 2012 plus media coverage in Plaza Watch Magazines. A number of my favorite brands are exhibitors:

Alain Silberstein, the creator of fun colorful watches with iconic bold colored hands , will be displaying his latest works of art.

Some of the other participating brands include, Artya, Clerc, Delance, HD3, RGM Watch Company, Catena, Drakkar, Catorex, Bulova, B.R.M and Quinting - the makers of the first and unique transparent watch in the world (its components crafted from finely cut sapphire crystal).

Another masterpiece is the Girard Perregaux 1966 small seconds watch. Featuring a new GP03300-50 automatic movement powered by a gold rotor and housed in either a 18k rose gold or white gold case.

Concord C1 Watches at THE WATCHERY

2011-01-03T11:36:00.000-05:00

C1 Concord Watches are now available at THE WATCHERY for up to 40% off the MRSP.

Give your 2011 a powerful start by purchasing a Concord C1 timepiece. The Concord C1 exhibits a strength of character which cannot be missed.

At 44mm in diameter and 16.7 mm from front to back, this watch can hold its ground. Wear this beauty on your arm and add a whole lot of determination to your image. The combination of black rubber on bezel and silver tone stainless steel case and bracelet works perfectly to create the ultimate time telling machine. A scratch resistant Sapphire crystal protects the dial. A multi-leveled dial creates the impression of depth, and results is an easy to read display. The clear date cut-out at the 3-o-clock position frames the day of the month for quick reference.
A unique aspect of this watch, culminating from years of intense cutting-edge research, is the running seconds sub-dial at the 9 o'clock position, whereby the hand is stationary and the disc rotates.

In addition, this watch is specially designed with exceptional resilience to withstand sudden jarring movements. Certified as a chronometer by the COSC, the movement of this watch had to undergo rigorous testing to prove its worthiness. (Click here for an in depth explanation of the COSC).
In addition, the C1 has a transparent case back completely viewable via a sapphire crystal, thereby enabling one the opportunity to see the inner mechanical self-winding movement, pulsating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and providing 48-hour power reserve. The oscillating weight of the mechanism is finished in black rhodium for creating a dramatic contrast. It features a cut-out of the C1 logo silhouetted through a fine ribbed decorative pattern.

The Concord C1 depicted in this blog is a chronograph, which makes this watch ideal for sports.

A "Chronograph" is a timepiece fitted with an additional mechanism that may be set in motion by knobs to enable the measurement of the duration of an event. For track and field or car racing, this watch is a perfect companion, for after all, all races are a race against time in one way or another. Also water resistant to 200 meters, this watch makes the perfect sporting companion, and a fine everyday addition to ones wardrobe.

With the introduction of the C1 Watch Collection, Concord phased out its old timers like the popular Delirium and La Scala. I viewed this move with much trepidation, as I had grown accustomed to the well known Concord collections. However, since the introduction of the bold Concord C1 collections, I have seen the power of Concord's vision. A power that infiltrates into the very movement of each and every Concord C1 timepiece.

Concord C1 are available in many colors and material compositions. Click here to read about the most out-of- this world C1 masterpiece.

THE WATCHERY has a large Concord C1 collection available at reduced prices.

It is Time for a New Years Resolution.

2010-12-30T10:26:00.000-05:00

The doorway to 2011 is just hairs breath away, and at midnight ,News Years Eve, be sure to have a New Years Resolution in hand. I am sure some of you have the "lose weight" or "find a new job" or "stop smoking" goal, which are all pretty admirable; however to accomplish these goals, one must have an overriding goal which will effect all facets of life.
I am talking Time Management.
Time Management is essential, if one wants to make good on personal promises. Time Management goes hand in hand with taking control. Instead of time marching off leaving one scrambling to keep up or merely being hurled along like a pebble in a current, one can capture and utilize time in a way which solidifies that moment forever. That moment you have captured becomes the first stepping stone to reach the next level.
For instance, set your alarm clock for 6am, get out of bed (no easy feat) and hop on the treadmill. By doing this you have taken control of that moment and laid down the foundation for the next day and the next, each time getting closer to reaching your goal - each moment in time marked for the next. New Years Resolutions ,if taken seriously, can be achieved with taking control of your Time.

At THE WATCHERY, we understand the importance of Time Management, and that is why we provide the ultimate tool for your journey. A Watch. Not any watch. A watch you can count on. A watch which is adapted to your needs, your style, your sense of purpose. A watch which embodies you, and becomes you. A Luxury Watch.

At THE WATCHERY, we sell top name brands, such as Cartier, Audemars Piguet, Concord, Breitlign, Tag Heuer, IWC, Baume & Mercier, JeanRichard, Ebel, Zenith, Hublot, Chopard, Blancpain and many many more, at hugely discounted prices. All watches are genuine, for the passage of time does not lie.
Take the first step in taking control of your time, of your life and purchase a Luxury Watch at THE WATCHERY.

Happy New Year!

2010 Brought Renewed Hope For the Luxury Watch Industry

2010-12-28T15:44:00.000-05:00

2010 saw the slow but steady recovery of the watch industry. After a huge luxury industry nose dive in 2008 and the gut wrenching descent in 2009, the watch industry entered 2010 with much trepidation. However 2010 proved to bring a sigh of relief to many luxury watch companies with the reports of better earnings. Richemont Group who owns a portfolio of leading international brands such as Jaeger LeCoultre, Piaget, IWC, Baume & Mercier, Vacheron Constantin, Panerai, A Lange & Sohne & Roger Dubois, report a "very convincing six months" and a "strong sales growth". Swatch Group which owns Watch Brands including Breguet, Omega, Longines, Rado, Tissot, Hamilton, Tiffany & Co as well as ETA, a producer of mechanical and quartz watch movements claims a huge resurgence in sales. Bulgari reports "business is picking up, while Hermes reports an excellent first half year. Swiss watch exports show a vigorous recovery in the first half of 2010 as well as heightened confidence of the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry.

2010 saw a large amount of new luxury watch boutiques worldwide. Omega opened nine new boutiques in the United States alone, and Corum set up shop in china and opened the doors of its very first store in Switzerland. Raymond Weil opened three new stores in India. In 2010, both Ulysee Nardin and Richard Mille opened their first boutique stores in the US.

Although the watch industry, has still ways to go in terms of recovery, the prospects are very good indeed. Watch companies are being more conservative with research and development opting to reintroduce older successful collections rather than an entirely new line of watches. In addition, many watch companies have taken high end expensive watches and made them more affordable by using steel or ceramics rather than gold and diamonds. For example Breguet has taken its high end Reine de Naples timepiece for women, usually crafted in gold, lined with jewels and sporting a complication, and downsized it to more affordable steel version with no jewels and only the time on the dial. Breuget's elegance, craftsmanship and precision still remains whilst the luxury watch becomes more affordable.
Cartier ,as well, opted for utilizing cheaper materials such as steel and rubber for its Roadster Collection. The Roadster S is much more affordable with a definite mass appeal, which is exactly what the high end luxury watch companies need to survive. Mass appeal, that is, without damaging the integrity and quality of the watch brand. At a going rate of $4,600 for the steel version and $4,600 for the combo, this watch is much cheaper than the original Roadsters thereby enabling young aspiring individuals to own a watch worn by millionaires and noticed by all.
Luxury Watch Companies are looking to 2011 with a renewed vigor and hope, and just like the recovery from the Quartz Scare of the 1970's, they have survived.

Happy Holidays from THE WATCHERY

2010-12-24T10:29:00.000-05:00

Gifts are nestled under trees carefully wrapped in shiny gift wrapping paper. The house is basked in a warm glow while the winter wind howls outside. Perched on top of a large rectangular box (which ,you are quite sure, contains that big screen T.V - Super Bowl here we come - you mentioned to your wife many many times), is a small box. Within the small box, however, contains a gift which will last a lifetime. This gift will not be obsolete by newer models. This gift will not be hidden in the "utterly useless house hold objects drawer" where heart shape pancake molds and chirping key chains reside. This gift will be treasured and kept close at hand, for this gift is a luxury watch.

Upon opening the box, your loved ones face will be basked in a glow of pure destiny, as this watch will mark the passage of her time, every second of her day. Mayhap you gave her a 18k rose gold Cartier Tank, with hand picked diamonds along the sides of the bezel, or mayhap you gave her an Ebel Beluga radiating a gentle pink mother of pearl dial, or perhaps an exquisite Chopard Happy Sport Luxury Watch where diamonds dance above the dial between two sheets of scratch resistance sapphire crystal.

She will surely gasp, as she will lift the watch, oh so gently, from the box, and gaze up at you with wonder as she places it on her wrist. And on her wrist the watch will stay marking her the time as it passes from seconds to minutes; from minutes to hours, from hours to days, from days to weeks, from weeks to months, and from months to years. From this day on until forever.

Happy Holidays from the WATCHERY.

Moon Phase Watches at THE WATCHERY

2010-12-21T11:48:00.000-05:00

At 3am Tuesday morning as I was staring up at the rare lunar eclipse , it occurred to me the extent to which humanity is transfixed with the moon. Although one may not always be consciously aware of it, one expect to see the moon in its various stages of waxing and waning hovering above us in the nights sky. Looking up at the strange burnt orange hue of moon, I suddenly realized the novelty of wearing a watch with the moon phase complication. A complication which mirrors the happenings in the heavens above. IWC
Grande Complication Perpetual Calendar IW927020
THE WATCHERY PRICE $238,500 Save 25%

A moon phase complication depicts the varying phases of the moon: New Moon, first quarter, full moon and last quarter. A lovely example of a moon phase is at the 12 'o' clock position of the IWC Grande Complication Perpetual Calender. The case and bracelet of this luxury timepiece is crafted from platinum.

Below I will briefly describe the basics of the watch components of the moon phase. The phases of the moon are usually displayed on a disc visible via an aperture, or more rarely by a hand. A typical moon phase watch a disc portraying two moons is driven by a wheel with 59 teeth. Every 24 hours a finger turns the wheel by one notch. In reality a lunation lasts 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 2.8 seconds or 29.53 days; however, the lunation displayed by an ordinary moon phase watch lasts 29.5 days thus the moon phase depicted on the watch is out one day every 2 years, 7 months and approximately 20 days. Astronomical moon phase watches compensate for this difference by utilizing a wheel with 135 teeth, thus achieving a lunation of 29 days, 12 hours and 45 minutes. This reduces the difference to just one day every 122 years.
Many watch companies invent new ways of depicting the moon phase. The De Buthune DB25 Moon Phase Watch reveals a spherical moon phase below the 12 'o' clock. Consisting of two hemispheres, one in steel and the other in platinum, rotates on its own axis.
You may have noticed most moon phase complications adorn the dials of men's watches; however, true to Girard-Perregaux's Cat's Eye Movement Collection which adds complications to women's watches, a gorgeous moon phase luxury watch accompanied by the signs of the zodiac mark the waxing and waning of the moon. (Click here for more info about Girard-Perregaux's Cat's Eye Movement Collection)

Diamond Flower Ladies Wristwatch A3015/C

Perrelet's Diamond Flower Collection, unveiled in 2008, turns decoration into rotation. The exquisite lotus flower adorning the dial doubles as a roter which,together with rotor on the back of the watch, winds the mainspring. This union of jewellery and function is made possible by Perrelet's Double Rotor Calibre. The Diamond Collection is a collection designed by a woman for women. One of Perrelet's young woman designers,Carmen Voegeli, isolated herself for many months working tirelessly to fine-tune the Diamond Flower Collection. Perrelet, inventor of the automatic watch movement, was confident in her abilities to produce a luxury watch where beauty and function intertwined. Carmen Voegeli effort and creativity proved brilliant and prolific initially unveiling a total of 27 different designs in steel, rose gold, or two-tone. Some are studded with diamonds on the bezel and on the lotus rotor; some bare a leather strap, some a rubber strap. Chocolate mother-of-pearl dials or rich cream colored dials, whatever your choice, the result will be utter perfection.

647.28.13.L.13 B-42 Black Mars 500 Black Dial leather Men's Watch 647-28-13-L-13

Fortis Watches are bold time tellers surrounded by an air of adventure - an adventure into space. Fortis is looking to the future when one day man will voyage to the Red Planet and discover a world beyond the scope of our wildest imagination. Fortis Watches are preparing for the day when man will step onto Mars. An unprecedented expedition is currently underway in a Research facility near Moscow. The objective is to simulate the voyage to the Red Planet. The expedition is called Mars 500, which entails 520 days of complete isolation in an artificial habitat constructed according the the real dimensions of the actual space ship. In addition, the facility contains storage rooms, a green house, lab and a stimulation of the surface of Mars.
This experiment is a joined effort with the European Space Agency ESA and the Russian Space Agency ROSCOSMOS.
Fortis is the official supplier of timepieces for MARS 500. The crew members are given a MARS 500 timepiece as their official timekeeper of this mission. Since the 1990's, Fortis automatic timepieces have proved their reliability in weightlessness by accompanying many astronauts on space missions. As the hatchway of Project MARS 500 closes, and the crew is locked from the outside world in complete isolation, a Fortis automatic timepiece tracks the time with extreme reliability and precision. To commemorate this monumental project, Fortis has issued a limited edition of 2012 FORTIS B-42 BLACK MARS 500 watches.

Purchase your FORTIS B-42 BLACK MARS 500 and be part of history in the making.

Corum's Admiral Cup Collection at THE WATCHERY

2010-12-03T09:54:00.000-05:00

The Watchery has a large selection of great watch buys for the holidays with rock bottom prices.

A personal favorite of mine is Corum's Admiral Cup Collection. Back in 2008, I blogged about the remarkable popularity of this particular collection - see post; and since then Corum's Admiral Cup popularity has soared even higher. I am sure you may wonder from whence came the name?

The Admiral's Cup is an international yachting regatta occurring every odd year. It was organized in 1957 by the Royal Ocean Racing Club based at Cowes, on the Isle of Wright in England. In 2003 the Reggatta was held in Australia between different yacht clubs. 2003 was the last race; although, there is some talk in the works for 2011.

Corum's name is derived from the word “quorum” which means “the minimum number of persons present, required to enable a meeting, to hold discussions and take valid decisions”.

Looking at the dial of a Admiral Cup Luxury Watch, visible are 12 nautical flags just beyond the bezel and above minute indexes. Admiral Cup Luxury Watch have no hour markers, baring rather minutes scaled in 5 minute increments. Corum's signature key on the seconds hand counter-weight unlocks the future with each passing second.

Corum Admiral Cup Luxury Watches are a great pick for the Holidays. Buy a Luxury Watch at The Watchery for Unbeatable Low Prices.

A Watch is the Ultimate Gift for the Holidays

2010-11-26T10:28:00.000-05:00

Panerai Ferrari Granturismo Rattr FER00005

Tired of giving gadgets purchased from late night infomercials? Or what about that reindeer sweater complete with a matching reindeer hat and reindeer gloves. Are you tired of not knowing what to give?

I have come to solve your gift giving dilemmas and not a moment to soon. The best gift you can possibly give for the holidays is a watch. If you give a watch, you will no longer have to endure embarrassing moments of explaining its use to a sea of raised eyebrows. No one will turn your gift over wondering politely of its use. A watch is a watch.

Giving a watch has the remarkable versatility in that its basic function of telling time does not change with its worth. One can purchase a watch for ten dollars and one can purchase a watch for one million dollars. Of course the quality of craftsmanship, materials and complexity as well as its longevity increases with an increase in price. A ten dollar watch may only last a couple of months where as a one million dollar watch will last many lifetimes. The amount you spend on a watch depends entirely on what you can afford and to whom you are giving it too. If you earn a couple of million dollars a year and are soon to be wed, it is very unwise to present your fiance with a ten dollar watch; however, if you are a lower tax bracket and wish to buy your 6 year old niece her first watch, then presenting her with a watch worth a million dollars would be very unwise indeed. Both watches track the time, the ten dollar watch probably utilizing a quartz movements with minimal parts whereas the one million dollar watch may have an automatic movement with complications such as perpetual calender, tourbillon and minute repeater with hundreds of parts, but they do both track the time. Of course I have used quite extreme examples, but I just wanted to describe the absolute versatility of the watch. There are very few objects in the world which has the advantage of absolute function (such as tracking the time) with such an immense budget range. Thus whether you have or have not, a watch is an excellent gift to give.

Another excellent advantage of a watch is one does not have to be "into" watches to appreciate a watch. One just has to be "into" managing ones time which is a day to day necessity.

Now that I have explained the absolute gift, there are a few “watch gift giving” pointers I would like to share. First, one must have some general idea of the style and personality of the receiver. A sporty guy would love a sporty watch, such as a Ebel 911 or a Tag Heuer Carrera. A person who hates unnecessary clutter in his environment or on his person would greatly appreciate a Movado Museum Watch. All that is displayed on the Movado's dial is a round dot at the 12 'o'clock and two hands, otherwise the dial is quite unblemished. A Cartier for the lovely lady in your life is; a Zenith for the man of your dreams ... there is a watch for everyone.

Look no further ... purchase a watch.

Halloween Watches at THE WATCHERY

2010-10-29T10:16:00.001-04:00

Corum Bubble Special Edition Black and Silver Dial Leather Over Rubber Men's Automatic Watch 082-150-56-F721FM01R

Yep! Halloween is creeping up. Corum's collection of freaky skull dials and pirate scimitars watch hands never fail to raise the hair on the back of my neck. Since I began my complete and utter infatuation with timepieces, it never fails to amaze me the potential emotional impact of a dial depiction. Take Corum's timepiece available at the Watchery for 40% off, the angular pointed jawbone of the skull, its anguished grimace and the crimson blood pooling in the eye socket can turn ones blood cold. The watch is a Bubble special edition Night Flyer.
The only Night Flyer I am aware of, besides mechanical man made flying machines and bats and such and such, is the terrifying beast conjured in the mind of Steven King. Steven King's Night Flier does look remarkably like the dial depiction without the winged armory above our Corum's skull, but I must say both images invoke a feeling of uneasy terror. A terror that makes one close the wardrobe door, check under the bed and recheck the lock on the front door just as one is falling off the precipice of consciousness and into a deep sleep.

I did mention the Corum Watch is a Bubble Watch didn't I? Well if you are just becoming interested in the wonderful world of watches, a bubble watch is one of the signature watches of Corum. The "bubble" is a 11 mm thick scratch resistant sapphire crystal forming a dome over the dial. Click here if you are interested in the history of Corum.

The Watchery has a huge collection of genuine Corum Watches all for a fraction of the MRSP.

Zenith Defy Xtreme OpenMens Automatic 96.0525.4021/21.R642

You can be the hero this Halloween saving the world from imminent evil take over. The Zenith Defy is crafted from highly resistant titanium able to withstand the evil forces. A dial like this exudes heroic power. Beating beneath its sub dials of 9-branched silver propeller shaped brushed aluminum & 3 red blade propeller shaped is a movement known as the El Primero Caliber 4021SX, assembled with 278 components, beats at 36,000 vph. If the battle continues beneath the ocean, the Zenith Defy will not let you down. The Zenith Defy is water resistant to 1000 meters and is affixed with a Helium escape valve located on the edge of the case at the 10 o'clock position.
A helium valve enables divers who operate at great depths and spend prolonged hours under extreme pressure breathing a mix like trimix containing gases such as helium (tiny molecules) or hydrogen (smallest molecules found in nature) to release the helium molecules that have worked their way through the o-rings or other seals. The helium and hydrogen molecules cause no damage when the watch is at great depths under pressure but as soon as the diver resurfaces, a pressure difference occurs between the trapped gas(es) inside the watch case and the surrounding air. This can cause the crystal to pop off damaging the watch thus the helium valve is a crucial edition to diving watches enabling the diver to release the gas build up and restore equilibrium.

The Watchery has a huge collection of Zenith Watches all for a fraction of the MRSP.

So whichever way you wish to lean this Halloween, THE WATCHERY has you covered.

In 1931, British Officers who were stationed in Colonial India would play polo in their spare time. However more often then not the crystal of the wrist watches would get damaged during the game.
Cesar de Trey, an influential businessman, who was a close associate of Jacques-David LeCoultre visited friends in India.
A polo player approached him, "Sir, I challenge you to create a timepiece that can survive a game of polo with its crystal intact."

This challenge founded the legend of the Reverso. A Patent for Reverso was filed on March 4, 1931: A watch capable of sliding in its base and of turning completely on its axis to turn the crystal inward.

Father Needs a Watch

2010-06-08T10:36:00.001-04:00

There is nothing like a proud Dad wearing a watch he got for Father's Day. Forget about ties, LED flashlights, weird obscure tools, socks, a key chain from Niagara Falls. Get him a watch. A watch he will love. One that will befit his personality, hobbies and image.

If Dad always wears a suit - even on the weekend, then a vibrant yellow sporty watch probably will not be the best idea. You need a watch crafted from a solid metal like gold, platinum, steel or a combination. If dad hates clutter, he would want a watch with a simple dial without subdials. If you have run into some money then add a complication like a tourbillon or perpetual calender.
Excellent watches for "no nonsense, clutter hating Dad's", would be Movado's (really affordable and instantly recognizable). The Museum Collection have completely bare dials with only a gold shimmering dot at the 12 'o'clock. The "dot at the top" watch face is for a determined person who always has is goal in sight. If Dad is that sort than peruse through the large range of Movado men's watches at THE WATCHERY.

Okay now what if Dad is the "not so serious type". Yes he has embarrassed you more than once in front of your friends. Like the time he jumped fully clothed into the pool during your pool party. OMG, you could have died, or the time he came to "take your Dad to school day" with two different pairs of socks or the time he forgot about an egg he was boiling (and this is the exact reason why mom hates him in the kitchen) until the egg actually exploded onto the ceiling.
Well Dad is full of fun and you love him to bits, and that's why you have saved up quite a bit of dough to get him the best Father's Day gift ever. I suggest a Corum Bubble. Some Corum dials are quite hair raising: Skulls, bats, evil dark things and such, but that's up to you - you know Dad best. But the domed bubble covering the dial adds a sense of fun to ones image. Besides Corum is an excellent brand. Now if Dad loves to boat - even gets up 4am on Sunday then the Corum Admiral Cup is perfect. In this collection Nautical Flags emblazon the dial or bezel (depending on the watch), and you could almost smell the slightly salty slightly fishy smell of the ocean and feel the fine spray against your cheek.

What about a sporty Dad? One who loves the vroom of racing cars careening round tight bends. Well then the options are endless. I will guide you through a few of them. Tag Heuer is renowned for its Formula 1 Collection. The energy of this collection is palpable. Another great choice which has always reminded me of revved up monster trucks - and if Dad likes big machines, he will go gaga over this collection - Zenith Men's Defy Xtreme. These watches run upwards of $10,000 and deftly fuse titanium and rubber. Some harbor mind boggling tourbillons. I am telling you this, if you get Dad a Zenith Men's Defy Xtreme this year, next year Dad will be happy with his pair of socks, because giving Dad a Defy Xtreme is giving Dad a watch for life. Another excellent sporty watch is a Tissot T-touch, very gadgety and technologically advanced.

If Dad still drives his old clunker from the 1970's and has Mom mend his socks than don't go spending a fortune on his watch. Seiko is an excellent brand with really affordable long lasting watches. Available in a wide range of styles, you are sure to pick out the perfect watch for Dad.

Stop your "high powered jet setting CEO Dad" in his tracks with a Girard-Perregaux World Timer WW.TC Perpetual Calender. This beaut tracks the time of countless cities all over the world, even indicating night or day. If Dad sits in the pilot seat rather than business class then a Breitling Men's Cockpit is the obvious choice. If Dad is in the military (and I salute him) then he will absolutely love the IWC Pilot's Watch Double Chronograph Edition Top Gun or a watch from the U-Boat Collection. One thing about U-boat is its dial is highly discernible in adverse conditions even in the flat light beneath the ocean.

Before you spend the money, strike up a conversation with Dad. Steer it towards watches and see what he says. You never know, maybe he has been yearning for a Cartier Santos, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak or a Concord Delirium. Whatever the watch, you know where to get it - THE WATCHERY, because at THE WATCHERY our watches are priced way below the MSRP so you and Dad get more watch for your money.

Blazing Hot New Watches at THE WATCHERY

2010-06-02T15:34:00.000-04:00

Corum

Bubble Night Flyer
40% off at THE WATCHERY
Your first stop in luxury watches

This blog is a tad to early for Halloween, but riveting none the less. Corum seriously knows how to send shivers up ones spine. I was just about to blog about THE WATCHERY's vast U-Boat Collection, when this creepy Corum watch snagged my attention. The name Night Flyer dredged up my memory of Steven King's movie of the same name. In fact the monster even resembled Corum's terrifying dial depiction.
Corum's Night Flyer is set beneath a scratch resistant sapphire crystal dome - a signature feature of Corum's Bubble Watches.
The second hand is a sword scimitar (curved swords used by pirates) dipped in red to portray blood. A demonic blood red eye glowers from the skull creating a terrifying image. Come to think of it, this watch is not for the faint at heart. Beneath the dial is an automatic mechanical movement which incorporates a rotor allowing for the watch to be wound by the gentle swinging motion of ones arm. Blood red skeletonized hands indicate the time. The Corum Key is prominently displayed between the 3 and 6 'o'clock position. The round 18k gold case and red stitched black leather strap completes the watch design.

The name Corum stems from the word “quorum” which means “the minimum number of persons present, required to enable a meeting, to hold discussions and take valid decisions”.
Corum symbol - the key- emblazons every watch, a testament to opening new doors of creativity, innovation, watch design and possibilities. There is always a new door to open and the mystery of time can never be completely unraveled.

Water resistant to 200 meters, one can show ones dark side at a cheery pool party. I cannot say if the watch will attract a girl or send her trotting.

The watch comes with a Certificate from the Chairman of Corum.

A Luxury Watch is the Perfect Graduation Gift

2010-05-26T10:53:00.000-04:00

Standing on the podium donned in a black robe and matching graduation cap, you watch your baby accept her diploma. As much as you try, you simply cannot hold back your tears, as you say to yourself,
"It seemed just yesterday her tiny pink fingers wrapped around my finger in a surprisingly strong grip, and I remember her gurgling up at me. Now just look at her, confident and lovely. Its unbelievable, in just a few short weeks she will be gone off to college to face the world alone." You sigh and then gasp as a sudden thought enters your mind,
"I must get her a parting gift, one she will use everyday and love. A gift so unique and useful, she will never leave home without it. But what can I get her? What will she never get tired of? What will she use everyday?"

The answer is a luxury watch. The perfect graduation gift for the perfect daughter. There are many brands to choose from, each brand unique. Your decision must first involve your target price range. Luxury Watches run from the hundreds to the thousands to the tens of thousands and so on. Next you must decide if your daughter would want either an elegant watch, a sporty watch or a truly unique watch befitting her style. Is she artistic, fun, trendy, practical?

Movado watches are highly prolific available in hundreds of styles and colors. The instantly recognizable museum watch sports the iconic dot at the top of the dial. Check out this Movado Museum Fashion watch depicted to the left. It is stylish and hip and perfect for a party girl. Works well with summer wear and adds intrigue to winter wear, this watch is a dream maker. Very affordable at $437 (45% off the list price) and available at THE WATCHERY. A swiss quartz movement ensures perfect time keeping.

If your kid is the more serious type with her foot on the corporate ladder, then a Movado Juro is an excellent choice. Plain yet elegant, the Movado Juro ensures a lifetime of dedication.

For that really girly girl daughter of yours, Movado has a tremendous number of options. Some with diamonds sure to bring a dimpled smile to her face. The Movado collection watch is a gorgeous piece. Diamonds set into the bezel ring the empty black dial save for the gleaming gold dot at the top and the Gold Tone hour and minute indicator hands. The case and bracelet is exquisitely crafted from polished 14K gold .
The price of the Movado Collection Watch has been reduced to just 50% of the list price. Now available for just $1,798.00. Compute that amount over a lifetime of wear and the saving is quite vast.

Now what to get for that really creative artsy daughter of yours whose hands are always smudged with charcoal or paint and who seems to have stepped right out of the 70's and into the next millennium. Does Movado have a watch for her? Something unique and daring, and seriously creative?
I suggest the highly unique Movado Women's Buleto. The polished stainless steel circle link bracelet is captvating and mysterious. The watch exudes good quality and exceptional craftsmanship. The recessed dial is surrounded by a bold bezel which form the central link of the bracelet. THE WATCHERY Price of $547.00 is a real bargain.

For the elegant one, who never played with dirt even as a toddler, whose face was never dirty even after delicately nibbling at an ice cream sundae, whose clothes looks recently laundered and pressed after an entire day of wear and who is mortified by the idea of charcoal smudges on hands, I suggest the Movado Kara. A luxury Movado Watch so lovely and delicate it reminds one of a newly unfurled rose. The bracelet is a slender band of stainless steel punctuated by identical shimmering diamond lugs. A soft pink metallic dial finishes the look like the perfect note in a Concerto.

If you have something a little different in mind, possibly a blue dial rather than pink, or a gold bracelet in place of steel, or a dial with numbers then THE WATCHERY can help you. Search the WATCHERY and give the perfect Graduation Gift.

Only $1,948 - 50% of the MSRP

Hey listen up, Mother's Day is this Sunday. Yeah yeah we know! You had absolutely no idea Mother's Day was so close, and you'd made a very strong mental note to buy your dear darling mother a very special gift this year. We know! Last year was a complete mess up. You had a bunch of stuff going on and ended up buying Ma one of those hard velvety roses attached to a teddy bear from some guy standing at the street corner.

Say Thanks to Mom with a Timeless Gift from The Watchery

2010-04-27T14:17:00.000-04:00

"A printed card means nothing except that you are too lazy to write to the woman who has done more for you than anyone in the world. And candy! You take a box to Mother—and then eat most of it yourself. A pretty sentiment!"
Anne Jarvis - the creator of Mother's Day. (depicted in image)

On May 14th 1907, Anne Jarvis held a memorial for her mother who had died two years earlier. She then embarked on a mission to make Mother's Day a recognized holiday which occurred in 1914 ,thanks to Woodrow Wilson who signed the bill. She did not like the commercialization of the holiday and spent her entire inheritance fighting against it. She did not like the cheap cards and empty trinkets associated with the holiday. She wanted the holiday to be full of meaning, depth and gratitude.

No one could have said it better then the creator of Mother's Day herself, but then again she never saw the stunning luxury woman's watches at THE WATCHERY, for if she had she would have approved. Approved very well.

Perusing through THE WATCHERY website, I couldn't help but notice how many gorgeous woman's watches are available.

The Ebel Satya caught my eye as it is both elegant and unique. I love the oval 18 karat gold bezel surrounding a exquisite silver tone face and then I saw the markdown. The Ebel Satya is 70% off the List Price. Down from MSRP of $12,500 to $3,740.
Ebel, the brand, is growing by leaps and bounds oweing to its superb craftmanship, superior quality and excellent timekeeping not to mention the attractive designs. Give mom an Ebel this Mother's Day.

Another perfect watch for Mother who is terribly efficient and excruciatingly punctual is the Baume & Mercier Ilea. You simply cannot go wrong with the Ilea as its simple design and perfectly round case compliments many different tastes. The Baume & Mercier is an everyday watch for a Mother on the go, but giving her this watch will stop Mom in her tracks and maybe, just maybe you will squeeze a tear of astonished appreciation from her eye .

I could go on and on gushing over the tremendous variety of woman's watches available at THE WATCHERY, but I would spoil the fun for you. Go ahead ENTER THE WATCHERY, and get Mom a gift for Mother's Day. She deserves the watch and you deserve THE WATCHERY's rock bottom prices.

Let me know what mom says...

ZODIAC Sports Watches Now at THE WATCHERY

2010-03-09T10:25:00.001-05:00

Zodiac ZO7616 Air Dragon White Mother-of-Pearl Dial Leather Women's Moon Phase Watch

ONLY $145

Looking for a sporty watch for an affordable price, well look no further than the Zodiac Collection of Watches at THE WATCHERY. Check out the summery Air Dragon, looks great and is water resistant up to 100 meters. I love the moon phase above the bubble-gum pink 6 'o'clock, a complication not often found on sporty woman's watches in this price range. The case back is screw down necessary to ensure effective water resistance. The battery powered Swiss Quartz movement is high quality.

The Zodiac brand has been around since 1882 when Ariste Calame set up workshop.
Between 1908 and 1930, Zodiac produced its own calibers and movements to be used in pocket watches.
In 1924 Zodiac introduced its first extra flat pocket watch with an in house Zodiac Caliber 1617 movement. Zodiac was constantly striving for innovation and in 1930 unveiled a cutting edge shock proofing system which replaced the balance with a z-shaped spring clip. Zodiac was concerned with the impact vigorous exercises could have on the movement of the timepiece. Zodiac then released one of the first Swiss automatic watches.
Zodiac continued to strive towards the future.
In 1932 Zodiac took a giant step into the future of watchmaking by unveiling the first Swiss analog quartz watch, the beta 21 calibre. Zodiac was literally decades ahead of the game. In 1937 Zodiac released an 8 day movement.
Zodiac turned heads at the 1949 Basel Fair with the release of the Astrographic - one of only two watch collections at that time with a power reserve indicator.
In 1953 Zodiac unveiled the SEA WOLF - one of the first serious diving watches available for purchase by the general diving public. Never stopping for a moment, Zodiac surged ahead and released the Super Sea Wolf which is an improvement on the original SEA WOLF sporting a newly improved crown/stem system and case back design making the watch water resistance to 750 meters.
In the 1960's SEA WOLF gets a 24 hour GMT hand and morphs into the AEROSPACE collection. AEROSPACE becomes the AEROSPACE JET with the addition of a 24 hour hand which traverses the dial once every 24 hours - a true mimic of the earths rotation. In 1968 the world of watches finally catch up to the ZODIAC and they release the DYNOTRON - the first Swiss electronic watch.
1971 finally saw the release of its first Swiss Analog Swiss Watch - the BETA 21 Calibre.
Zodiac continues to streak past other watch companies with mind boggling ,almost science fiction innovations.
In 1977 Zodiac releases the worlds first LCD watch to become a certified chronometer.
1978 Zodiac releases the slimmest quartz watch as well as the slimmest automatic mechanical watch with a calender. Zodiac has always looked ahead, and in the 21st century, zodiac continues to produce watches of high quality. With the introduction of resilient collections especially geared for sports like the SEA DRAGON , V-WOLF and the highly coveted ZODIAC MISSION EXTREME or ZMX-01, ZODIAC has become the brand for sports.

When you purchase a ZODIAC watch, you can be assured you have purchased a timepiece of superior quality, excellent craftsmanship and the culmination of over 120 years of constant striving for the best possible product in terms of innovation, precision, resilience and style.

Baselworld 2010 Sneak Peak - Bvlgari for Gerald Genta

2010-03-08T11:16:00.000-05:00

The wait is finally over, at last we get a sneak peak at the new Bvlgari/ Gerald Genta combination. Up until January 2010, Gerald Genta and Daniel Roth have been independent brands operating beneath the Bulgari group; however, times have become tougher and Bulgari has been struggling financially, thus Bulgari decided to merge Gerald Genta and Daniel Roth to make them a Bvlgari brand. The Bvlgari brand name will appear on any future watches.
Our first sneak peak of this fusion is the Bvlgari for Gerald Genta Jump Hour Biretrograde Watch. Daniel Roth and Gerald Genta no longer have their original watch designers and all the marketing, sales, design, distribution and manufacture are all unified with Bvlgari.

The Bvlgari For Gerald Genta (should be Gerald Genta for Bvlgari) Jump Hour Biretrograde Watch is a handsome timepiece, but the name Bvlgari on a clearly Gerald Genta Octo timepiece renders me a tad uncomfortable. Name aside, the 43mm case sports jumping hours, retrograde minute indication and a retrograde calender. What's interesting about the watch is the bezel, which is comprised of satin-finished black ceramic and accentuated with seven bezel studs forming an arc over the retrograde minute display. The onyx-capped beaded winding crown serves as a nice touch. The watch is powered by a GG7722 caliber, self winding mechanical movement capable of a 45 hour power reserve and a balance frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. The jumping hour and retrograde minute time display renders the timepiece extremely easy to read with a lovely retro design dial. Bvlgari's name is below the jumping hour towards the center of the dial, and Gerald Genta's logo together with "Cal 7722" is below the retrograde date.

I have a feeling in a couple years, Gerald Genta and Daniel Roth will be completely phased out, with just the distinctive case shapes and jumping hour/ retrograde displays remaining.

Now Gerald Genta and Daniel Roth timepieces have entered the realm of collectors items, which you can purchase at THE WATCHERY for up to 75% off the list price. Buy a Gerald Genta or Daniel Roth today, after all you may not know what tomorrow will bring.

Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics Omega Time

2010-02-15T11:35:00.001-05:00

Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010 have begun: the scrape of steel on ice, the cold sharp air surrounding Olympians striving to be the best, to outrun the competition and go home with the gold. Being precisely fast, utilizing technique, stamina, muscle and something beyond that- an awe inspiring focus and energy stemming as much from the mind as the body, making champions. Often times, split seconds differentiate a gold from a silver; a moment undetected by the naked eye or the common watch, but precisely recorded by the Olympic Timekeeping abilities of Omega.
Omega is the Official Timekeepers at the Olympic Games and has been since Los Angeles 1932 Olympic Games and the 1936 Olympic Winter Games in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, when a single Omega technician came to the games hauling 27 stopwatches. In the intervening years , from then till now, Omega's expertise in Olympic timekeeping has increased dramatically. At this years Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic games, Omega has 220 timekeeping professionals and engineers as well as 290 volunteers from the area. 250 tons of timekeeping equipment, on venue results and TV services culminating in the largest timekeeping effort in the history of winter sports.In commemoration of the Vancouver Olympics, Omega unveiled a Seamaster Professional 300m Vancouver 2010 Olympics Watch- limited edition of 2010 pieces. The bezel is red, the color of Canada's Maple leaf - the center of its flag. Aside from the looks, the timepiece is a certified chronometer , Caliber Omega 2500, equipped with Omega's renowned co-axial escapement technology. The watch sports a Helium escape valve and screw in crown which equips it for deep sea diving. The interior of the domed sapphire crystal is treated with anti-reflective, and coupled with the lume coated hand and hour markers ensure optimal readability even in environments of low visibility.

So, if by chance, you furrow your brow and wonder if in fact the American Bobsleigh Team was driving a more furious race than the Canadian Team, rest assured Omega has your back ,with its timekeeping excellence, and may the best man win.

Pulsar Watch Brand Now At The Watchery

Pulsar PXT668 Leather Strap White Mother-of-Pearl Dial Leather Women's Watch

One thing about Pulsar watches is the infusion of unbridled young energy.

The watches are really affordable ,and with THE WATCHERY's amazing discounts, run under $100.00. Check out this lovely model I have chosen to display. The white rubber strap compliments a bold mother-of-pearl dial surrounded by a stainless steel gold-plaited bezel and watch case. This would make a great Valentines Day Gift. I like this watch; it exudes a sense of fresh airy freedom.

Pulsar is an interesting company. It is a brand of Seiko Watch Cooperation of America (SCA). Most of its watches are crafted utilizing the tradition analog display; however, its claim to fame is the world's first electronic digital watch. In 1970 the first Pulsar prototype was developed jointly by Hamilton Watch Company and Electro-Data. The head of Hamilton's Pulsar division, John Bergey, was inspired to produce the Pulsar from a 1968 sci fi movie - 2001: A Space Odyssey. This idea was not so far fetched since it was Hamilton who had been commissioned to make the futuristic digital clock for the movie. On April 4th, 1972, the Pulsar was unveiled in 18 carat gold at $2,100 a piece. The numbers were red light-emitting diode or best known as LED.

Pulsar and Hamilton Watches are available at THE WATCHERY for a fraction of the list price. Surprise your Beloved Valentine and give a gift that never runs out of time.

THE WATCHERY wishes all its customers a HAPPY NEW YEAR.

A New Years Resolution

2009-12-28T10:45:00.000-05:00

A couple more days and the second hand will approach the midnight mark with alarming insistence. Before you know it 2010 will dawn marking a new year and a new decade. Will you be ready?
It is crucial to start making New Year's Resolutions. Don't become too exuberant in your resolution making, as you most certainly will be left with a feeling of failure; however, if 2010 brings you extraordinary success, by all means, embrace it. New Year's Resolutions should be both manageable and realistic and when achieved will provide one with an enormous feeling of sucess. Resolutions such as losing weight, quit smoking, spending more time with the family, learning something new, going on an exotic cruise, increasing ones income, achieving internal peace or finding ones soul mate are often on ones list. For many people organizing ones time is crucial, because if one ponders a while on it , one may realize that time management is the essence of many New Year's Resolution.

Luckily, there are many devices to help one achieve effective time management. The most essential of which is a timepiece. Purchase a watch you like; one that accentuates your image and is a constant reminder of your New Year's Resolution. To start on ones New Years Resolution early this year, save time and purchase a watch at THE WATCHERY.

For example if in the past it took one hour to perform a bank reconciliation it seems unlikely that just because 2010 has appeared, bank reconciliations will take you all of ten minutes.

A Corum Halloween Story. Warning: Not for the faint hearted.

Corum Buckingham Wunderkammer Mens' Watch Skull & Bones on Black Leather Strap LIMITED EDITION 138-177-20-0801-BN42

The wind howling through the trees sends sharp prickles of terror up your spine. You are alone in the huge house set far from the street. Your face shines with a curious blue light cast from your glowing computer screen. Something falls! A shrill howl of pain, and a dull thud against the sliding patio door. Did you lock it? You don't know and too terrified to check.

It is Halloween night and you are all alone.

It is time to purchase a really scary watch from the Watchery.

A bump on the second floor landing; the drip of a leaky faucet; the scuttle of tiny feet; you turn on the music loud. Gazing out the window, you gasp and leap from your chair! You shriek out in horror! There is a face at the window. A white ghostly face with empty eye sockets, empty except for a pulsating red key. The skin on your face tightens and your heart pounds at your ribcage. The screech from the electric guitar adds to your terror. White blinding terror.

Yes !It is time to buy a really scary watch from The Watchery.

Corum Bubble XL Mens' Limited Edition Automatic Watch Blue Bat Dial on Black Leather Strap 082-150-20-0F01-BATS

You spin around searching for an escape. Lurching towards the door, you bang your shin on the coffee table. You don't feel the pain. As you reach the door, it opens by itself. On the level of your nose is a gruesome bat. Its fangs dripping with blood. The leathery wings flap in jerky motions sending puffs of foul air into the house. The bat blocks the doorway, and you cannot get to your car. The car that will take you to the center of town; to the party everyone is attending. Everyone, except you.

Having no choice, you turn and brace for the worst. It is Halloween night after all, and anything can happen. Lightening flashes and you are plunged into darkness and silence. Your eyes are drawn to the only light in your old old drafty house; drawn to the computer screen.

It is time to buy a really scary watch from THE WATCHERY.Corum Bubble Baron Samedi Limited Edition Mens' Watch 18K Rose Gold Case Voodoo Dial on Black Leather Strap 082-160-55-F101-VOOD

Staggering back to your computer chair, you hear something laugh. The laugh is not quite human, it has a strange guttural sound that weaves into the very fabric of your being. Another wave of panic sets in. The laughter again, and then a bright ball of fire careens through the sliding door window sending shards of glass tinkling to the ground.

"This must be a dream," you say, as the ball of fire stops just before you.

A skull wearing a hat, emerges from the fire.

"It is time to buy a really scary watch from The Watchery," the blazing skull says and the fire ball vanishes in a plume of smoke.
