Luxury goods companies like Louis Vuitton and Tiffany & Co. sell watches in addition to their other goods. These watches are often highly limited and of good quality these days (the story was different 20-25 years ago). Often times, these watches are given oversight as not coming from a traditional watch company, but they deserve [...]

$100,000 Music Box, Four Songs, On Your Wrist: Mermod Freres Primo 4 Musical Watch
There are far more watches costing $100,000 than you’d guess; and many that exceed that price. If you are going to spend that type of money on a watch, it might as well have a unique novelty, considering you aren’t going to wear it very often. Here we have an interesting toy for the uber-wealthy, [...]
Mystery Tiffany & Co. Diving Watch Is Rare Treat: Partnership With NauticFish, Enza Mechana?
Here is something you don’t see everyday. A rare Tiffany & Co. watch that I just can’t seem to figure out. I learned of this watch as it is being offered on eBay right now with no end date until someone purchases it. The seller claims that it is a Tiffany & Co. watch built [...]
Potentially Shallow Offerings From New Watch Company Deep Blue
There is a new diving watch brand in town. It is not particularly unique or exciting to me, and it looks like the bastard love child of Ocean7 and NauticFish. “Style” copying in the watch world is pretty prevalent as the look of a watch is almost impossible to copyright. The only practical things you [...]
Jacob & Co. Lord Of The Bling Dances His Way Into Jail; No, Not For Selling Fugly Watches
Tragedy ensues in many communities as watch maker and jeweler Jacob & Co. founder Jacob Arabov will be sent to prison for 30 months. The crime was essentially laundering drug money and lying to law enforcement while providing false documents. Arabov’s organized crime client “The Black Mafia Family” (this is what they are called and [...]
Pop Art TechnoMarine Cruise Britto Collection Reminds Us Of Novel Swatch Watches From The 80′s
Brazilian Artist Romero Britto has popularity in many art circles because his work combines styles cherished by many. Though he has his own distinct look, it is all heavily influenced by Picasso cubism, Roy Lichtenstein pop art, Japanese pop art, and a “world” urban happy feel. I’d say that most of his art tends to [...]
Diamonds Are A… Man’s Best Friend?
It is no secret that precious jewels have always featured in men’s high-end, luxury watches. Yet it seems that these days more and more of these jewels are finding their way onto dials, bezels and bands, as opposed to only being incorporated in the complicated movements that power these incredible timepieces. One brand that has [...]
Black & Blue Fighters: The Kobold Phantom Tactical & Sinn 203 Arktis Watches
Please don’t make me choose one of the two. Both are highly desirable to me. Are you really going to make them fight for my affection? I wonder who would win. Here you have two Valjoux 7750 automatic movement based watches from American and Germany, though the movements are Swiss. The Kobold Phantom is the [...]
Seiko Deepens Prospex Watch Line With The Marinemaster Kinetic Direct Drive
I am convinced that Seiko loves their dive watches most of all. Not only do their dive watches get to sample each fragment of new technology that they release, but dive styled watches fall at the bottom and top of Seiko’s watch line from a price perspective. One result is a dizzying array of diving [...]
Review Of The Sinn 856 UTC On WatchReport.com
“In my tireless search for unique, robust, and beautiful watches, it was inevitable that I would someday be wearing a Sinn. I chose the 856 UTC as my first Sinn because it represents a very nice balance between functionality and design. Before I get into the specifics of the 856, I want to provide a [...]
Sylvester Stallone Oogles A Few New U-Boat Watches: Makes Panerai Jealous?
Like many celebrities Sylvester Stallone is a big watch lover. Unlike others he is attributed with making a brand popular in Hollywood (Panerai), and working closely with watch companies. Accordingly, Panerai has even released models with the “Slytech” name in honor of Stallone for his love and participation with the company. Stallone love’s Panerai so [...]
Amusing Look At Fake Watch Store Watches-brand.com; Worth The Look For The Laughs
When did Citizen watches start to become the target of fakes? Its true. I first learned that Watches-brand.com was selling fake Citizen Campanola watches, such as the Grand Complication. This sort of makes sense as the watches are all above $2000 and feature quartz movements. But then I learned that they didn’t stop there. They [...]

Temption Cora Is One Of The Finest Female Watches I Know Of: One Rare Model Available
This is probably the first time I have ever seen ones of these watches for sale. There are perhaps a few thousand of them in the world for the entire Cora series. This diamond studded limited edition is one of only300 on the planet. I would classify the Temption Cora as a woman’s watch that [...]
