watch-collection-essentials

With the 2016 Summer season officially kicking-off next week on June 20th and millions of Americans planning deep-sea diving vacations, we’re focusing on affordable diver’s watch essentials under $500 for your timepiece collection.

The watch case and band material should be impervious to salt water to not rust or corrode.

It’s Got To Be A Wittnauer!

Wittnauer Watches Now Available

For generations Wittnauer Watches have been one of the most respected and revered American watchmakers in the world. The brand was established in 1885 in New York, NY by Swiss watchmaker Albert Wittnauer and F.

The US Navy employed Wittnauer in the early 1900’s for aviation and navigation purposes. During the First World War, Wittnauer produced timepieces and instruments for aviation units.…

3 Great Watches for Fly Fishing

Watches for Fly Fishing

Fly fishing.  If you’ve spent any amount of time chasing trout in tiny mountain streams or targeting bonefish in the Florida flats, you’ll know that there’s a culture that surrounds this sport that is truly unique.  I grew up in Western New York pursuing native, stocked and lake run trout in rivers and streams almost all year long.  I’ve recently moved to Miami, and I’m looking forward to transitioning to salt water… and getting after snook, reds, bones  and maybe even tarpon. Regardless of what you fly fish for, you’ll likely recognize three distinct activities that are part and parcel…

womens fashion week

The adage that Watch Lover mentioned in his Men’s Fashion Week recap: If you stick around long enough, everything old is new again certainly holds true for Women’s Fashion Week 2016. Retro-inspired styles from the Victorian age, 1970’s and 1990’s are making a comeback in many of the designer’s Fall and Winter collections. We’re seeing a lot of puffy sleeves, ruffled hemlines and high-collar necklines from the Victorian age. Oh, and lots and lots of head-to-toe floral prints. Not the biggest fan of this trend, but to each her own. The 70’s band babe was also heavily represented on the…

In 1905, Levi Strauss added a second back pocket and five pocket jeans have become the standard ever…

Pace-Setting Chronographs!

Chronographs are among the most popular and sought-after watches in the world today. Prominent watchmakers from TAG Heuer, Ebel, Rolex, Omega and Cartier to Invicta, Swiss Legend, Michael Kors and Casio all feature an impressive selection of men’s and women’s chronographs in their assortments. Chronographs are characterized by the independent stop-watch and display watch functions on a dial that are normally featured on a separate subdial window. The Chronograph name comes from the Greek terms for time: “chronos” and writing: “graph.” The term today is interpreted more about the recording of time and not writing. Although a timepiece may have…
