This is the Junghans “Meister Handaufzeug” or “Master Handwinding,” a retro and classic dress watch scheduled for release in July of 2012. Based on the ETA/Pesaux 7001 movement, it’s rather slim at 7.3mm thick and 37.7mm wide. The design inspiration is a Junghans models from the 1930s, revamped to celebrate the brands’ 150th anniversary. I think [...]

Breguet Classique Chronometrie 10Hz Watch Hands-On
I consider this cool new Breguet watch as one of the neatest new pieces in their 2012 collection. It is all based on a marriage of the brand’s iconic classic look and their highly sophisticated, high frequency mechanical movement. It isn’t for everyone, but enough hardcore watch lovers like me will no doubt get excited [...]
Tissot T-Touch Classic Watch
The new Tissot T-Touch model for 2012 is the T-Touch Classic. Tissot takes the high-tech appeal of the T-Touch and dresses it in a more… well, dressy skin. Last year Tissot released the Racing-Touch (discussed here), which was a more entry level version of the popular T-Touch watch. At a similar price, the T-Touch Classic [...]
Hublot Classic Fusion Extra-Thin Skeleton Watch Hands-On
A surprising new member of the Hublot watch family this year will be the new Classic Fusion Extra-Thin Skeleton. It is relatively thin (especially for a Hublot), it is relatively simple (just the time), and it has a very nice looking modern skeletonized movement and dial. Overall a winner if the look suits you. Recently [...]
Ebel Classic 100 Watch Hands-On
Well, it is officially official – I am sick of “retro, heritage, vintage, classic, original, etc…” watches. Which is funny because I actually like the look of this Ebel Classic 100 timepiece. I just wish all the “old watch’ branding would disappear. It is a fine piece on its own, I don’t care if it [...]
Paul Picot C-Type Yachtman 3 Watches
Paul Picot offers these new C-Type Yachtman watches for 2011. The naming schemas confuse me. The C-Type I know, but I am not sure whether these are C-Type and Yachtman watches, or C-Type Yachtman watches!? Screw it, I’m just going to use the Yachtman name for now. Yachtman 3 to be exact – which sounds [...]
Max Bill By Junghans Watches For 2010
The “Max Bill watch” as it is known is one of the 20th Century’s most famous watch designs. Clearly conceived by designer and architect Max Bill in Switzerland, the watch was a staple of goodness back when it was originally made in the 1960s. Since then you could buy versions of the watch in its [...]
Glycine Combat 6 Watches On The Cheap
Looking for a good deal these days on a new watch? Want something classic and Swiss? Want it to have a decent movement but don’t want to pay too much? Well then Glycine might have just what you are looking for with the new watch Combat 6 watches – that come in two styles with [...]
Girard-Perregaux Sport Classique Laureato Evo 3 Large Date Watch Available On James List
I never thought much about the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Evo 3 watches until I was able to get my hands on one. They just weren’t of the type of design that visually stands out to me. They felt a bit on the “older” side of sport watches like the Vacheron Constantin Overseas models. Then I was [...]
My Chopard Classic Racing Chronograph Watch Article On AskMen.com
A nice evolution on the Chopard Racing watch line (including all Mille Miglia watches and related fare). The bezel gets screws in it a la popular trends, the case is in gold, and the overall look is freshened up. You either really like it or you don’t. Read my Chopard Classic Racing Chronograph Watch on [...]
Union Glashutte Noramis Watch: Poor Man’s Chopard L.U.C Slim
Many, many of you want a simple and classic watch versus everything else that is out there. These watches don’t have the immediate sex appeal of a lot of the complex or flashy watches that are out there, but instead grow on you like a good friend, instead of grow tiring once it takes you [...]
My Timex Classic Camper Watch Article On AskMen.com
To be perfectly honest it is hard to write about a $35 watch after you have been writing about $35,000 watches. On the one hand, it is hard to be fair to the $35 watch, and on the other hand it is hard to make a case to the $35 watch market for a $35,000 [...]
