Over the years Tudor gained an unflattering reputation as a “low-end” Rolex. However, new vigor and watch making excellence has given birth to all new TUDOR timepieces that effortlessly communicate classic elegance and performance. Designed for performance and crafted for sophistication, 2010 was a year that rightly belonged to Tudor; Its offerings that year- the Tudor […]

Don’t ever say that I only flog expensive, bank breaking gear; Here’s some Luxe for Less even though I normally eschew quartz watches (not because I’m a snob but because I’ve fallen in love with the sweeping seconds of an automatic). That said, this is one quartz perpetual calendar you should pay attention to. TX, […]

I’m not sure which grabbed me first, the “ooh so chic” purple silk jacket lining or the gray houndstooth check. The checks originated in woven wool from Scotland and today, though having found itself in more modern textiles is “back” in this wool blazer from Agnes B. From a distance, it’s similar to glen plaid […]

Almost minimalist (get rid of the arrows on the bezel please), the Tissot T-Navigator Automatic in stainless steel with black PVD bezel comes equipped with a pretty standard 25 jewel ETA 2836-2. At USD895, it’s pretty much the poor man’s version of a timepiece that’s been very close to my heart – the Perrelet Turbine. […]

A picture speaks a thousand words. This Triwa Nevil in Havana Orange is worth more than a thousand dollars but costs much less- Prices start from $200. From the outgrowth of “toy watch” companies like ICE and ToyWatch, I’ve yet to see any of them tackle mass luxury timepieces with such fine aplomb like Triwa. […]

Attraction. It’s one of those immutable laws of nature. You don’t know why it happens or why it hits you but when it happens, you know you’re in love, balls to bones. So when my eyes first cast its gaze across this Seagull 1963 chronograph, against all odds, at least when it comes to products […]

Coincidentally, someone asked me what “getting railroaded” meant. Let me put it this way, train rails are single tracks. When one gets railroaded, it means you had no other choice or path to take (usually to a negative conclusion). Sometimes getting railroaded isn’t a bad thing; especially when it comes to matters of classic elegance: […]

I’d never knock Rolex. It’s a good brand. They make great watches. Mr. Bond wears them. They’re the only watch company in Geneva that makes all components, cases and movements in-house (that’s why they’re so darned expensive). The only grouse I have about this luxury watchmaking behemoth is that tiny fib about turning down the […]
