TIMEPIECES: IWC Portuguese Chronograph

The IWC Portuguese Chronograph always makes my knees weak whenever I see it.  Whoever designed this watch magically put together a timepiece that is classic, masculine and timeless.
The piece is an automatic, 41 mm and is available in a variety of materials from steel to gold for the case, dials and numerals.
My personal preference is [...]

TIMEPIECES: G-Shock GW2500BD-1A

Do you remember when the G-Shock series of watches from Casio first came out?  They had commercials where the watch was strapped onto a hockey puck and used by a hockey player on the ice.
Since then, the G-Shock series of watches has developed into many different styles and designs.  I’ve loved the brand since I’ve [...]

TIMEPIECES: The Santos 100 Skeleton

This entry is a little unusual for me, primarily because I am not a huge fan of Cartier Santos watches nor am I a fan of watches where you can see the mechanical parts from the front instead of the back.
I always thought it was too hard to read the time.
In any case, the Santos [...]

TIMEPIECES: Panerai Luminor Chrono Daylight 44mm Titanium

I have always been a fan of the Luminor Chrono Daylights produced by Panerai.  They’re clean, very mechanical and very beautiful.
This year, they have released one in a 44mm case made out of titanium.
Why titanium?  It’s pretty strong and very light.  If you’ve ever tried to wear the all steel version of any 44mm Panerai, [...]

TIMEPIECES: Audemars Piguet Las Vegas Strip Collection

I love Las Vegas.  I love Audemars Piguet Royal Oak timepieces.  I love it when people put two things I love together into one thing… like a threesome.
Introducing the Audemars Piguet Las Vegas Strip Collection.  It’s the latest from one of our favorite watch makers and something that we feel truly represents the best of [...]

TIMEPIECES: Tag Heuer Monaco Calibre 12 Gulf Limited Edition

Tag Heuer released this new timepiece at BaselWorld 2009 – a collector’s edition in homage to the original one Steve McQueen wore in Le Mans.
Tag Heuer is going to limited the release to 4,000 pieces.
Here’s an excerpt from an article on wristdreams.com:
The larger (39mm) case gives the watch a more contemporary look, while the orange and blue [...]

TIMEPIECES: BRM R50-VT

Gotta love the Robb Report.  What was originally a minor article in their latest publication is now a feature on ESM.
When I checked the main B.R.M. website out, I wasn’t totally impressed with the rest of their timepieces, but the R50-VT looks like a winner.
Designed by Bernard Richards, the BRM R50-VT was designed to compliment [...]

TIMEPIECES: Cartier Santos 100 carbon watch, extra large model

I definitely appreciate the latest trend in watch design towards different types of material such as titanium and porcelain.  I feel it changes the landscape of the watch world and expands the consumers choices for timepiece styles.
More importantly, I like that the new types of materials make more subtle statements and proves to the world [...]

TIMEPIECES: Bamford Watches

Love painting everything black?  Do you think that you are a navy seal operative despite your lack of training and physical ineptitude?  Are you the type of person who paints his $90,000 car matte black and tints the rear lights because having red brake lights just won’t do?
If you are that type of person, have [...]

TIMEPIECES: Breguet Transatlantique Type XXI Flyback in Gold

I’m not a huge fan of gold watches, but in my opinion, the Breguet Transatlantique Type XXI Flyback in gold looks amazing.  It’s a classic timepiece that you can keep to hand over to the next generation.
Here’s a little information about Breguet from Wikipedia:
Breguet is a manufacturer of luxury watches, founded by Abraham Louis Breguet [...]
