Rolex and Tudor: A Family Rivalry

It’s not uncommon for luxury brands, no matter the industry, to also have a more-affordable line of products. It’s a simple way to cover all corners of the market. It’s no different in the watch world. But did you know Rolex – the most recognizable name in watches – also has an affordable sister company? That’s where Tudor watches come in. Tudor has a history almost as long as Rolex,.. Read More

What Are the Most Significant Watches in History?

Ever since the advent of sundials, humans have tried to stay on time. As we advanced through history, the technology advanced too. Sundials went out and clocks came in. Clocks became smaller and wearable, leading us to wristwatches. Eventually, iPhones and other cell phones changed the way we tell time. (Somehow, some of us are still late, no matter the technological advances.) But what are the most historically significant watches.. Read More

What to Wear if You’re Going on an Expedition

Throughout history, men and women have set their sights on exploring the highest peaks, the deepest valleys and any part of the world not yet before ventured. When doing any type of exploring, a person must be prepared. One detail that isn’t overlooked by explorers is the usefulness of a wristwatch. A watch can not only do simple things — like telling the time or the date — but can.. Read More

Luxury Mechanical Watches vs. Smartwatches

In today’s consumer culture, we’re forced to make decisions daily. Some of those decisions include picking a product from a brand. Do you go with Coke or Pepsi? Paper or plastic? Heinz or Hunt’s? In the watch world, the question is increasingly becoming that of smartwatch or mechanical watch? With the Apple Watch leading the new sector of the watch market, it left Swiss watchmakers playing catch up. In 2017,.. Read More

Watches That Could Help Save Your Life

Watches for a More Sophisticated Occasion

Every day, people are faced with the same question: What to wear? Unless you’re Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg and opt to cut down on decisions by wearing the same outfits every day, deciding what to wear is likely your first choice made every morning. Part of choosing an outfit can also include picking what accessories to wear. That often means which watch to put on your wrist. So perhaps.. Read More

Richard Mille Watches Shine Bright on Busy Sports Weekend

After a slow summer, last Sunday marked a big day in sports. The NFL kicked off its 100th season, while the eyes of the tennis world were squarely on New York City as the U.S. Open crowned its champions. Yet for some reason, rather than just talking about the winners and losers, why were headlines talking about one of the most luxurious watch lines in the world? Well, thank Cleveland.. Read More

Watches with Titanium Cases

Titanium is a lot of things.  It’s tough. It’s lightweight. It’s durable.  And lately, it’s immensely popular as an option for watches. Mechanical watches with stainless steel cases are heavier than ones made of quartz, which is why a watch with a titanium case makes sense for those wanting a little lighter time piece. The Hamilton HML Titanium watch not only features a titanium case, but it is also all-black,.. Read More

Need Direction? Try One of These Watches

All around us in nature, there are signs that can show us the cardinal directions. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, after all. Moss, at least we were told as kids, only grows on the north side of trees and rocks. Watches used to just tell the time. Now, technology allows all the bells and whistles packed into watches like songs, app notifications, step counters and.. Read More

In the Watch World, Thin is In

When was the last time you took a look at today’s fashion? At the turn of the century, baggy was in. People were seen everywhere wearing big, baggy clothes. NBA players’ shorts extended nearly halfway down their shins, and baggy jeans were all the rage. Nowadays? It’s just the opposite. Clothes are more form-fitted and all that extra fabric has gone the way of the fax machine (remember those?). For watches,.. Read More
