Award-Worthy Watches…

The Academy Awards was last night and let’s face it most people watch the show to see what the stars are wearing, not to mention some of the outrageous acceptance speeches and of course the host’s monologues and between awards badinage. “Mad Max: Fury Road”, was the big winner of the evening with six awards in the technical categories… and “Spotlight” was named Best Picture. But let’s get real: without Googling last year’s winners most of us probably don’t remember that “Birdman” took the top honors last year, taking home the Best Picture prize. The acting awards are another story and…

Cuff Love…

Wearing one of today’s uber-thick wristwatches may pose a problem if you’re like most guys who wear long sleeve shirts with cuffs that button at the wrist. The average width of the cuff of a non-bespoke shirt is anywhere from 8 to 11 inches, even if you use the first button on the sleeve cuff, which will allow you a drop more room. You could opt to wear a dress shirt with French cuffs that do require cuff links to close the sleeves and may offer a bit more room on your wrist. However, French cuff shirts with cuff links have…

It’s Got To Be A Wittnauer!

Bulova Watches, Designer Watches, Fashion Watches, Men's watches, Wittnauer Watches

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. Eugene Robert, an importer of Swiss watches who joined together to produce American made watches with Swiss movements at affordable prices. The Wittnauer brand immediately found its niche producing scientific and private exploration timepieces for navigators, explorers and astronomers. 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.…

Lunar Update: Hi, I’m back and talking about the moon again. I promise I’ll take a break on the topic after this… Moon Phase Watches. They’re my latest obsession. Combining my love for the moon and my love for watches and conveniently placing it on my wrist. These are among the most highly sought-after luxury timepieces in the world today. They’re available with mechanical, automatic and quartz movements and are magical because they follow the progression of the moon through her different phases… from new moon, first quarter through full moon to final quarter.

In The Thick Of Things…

The phrase “Slim Is In” certainly does not hold true in the world of horology these days. As both men’s and women’s wristwatches have grown in diameter and width in the past two decades, they also increased in thickness as well. Influential Swiss watchmakers Raymond Weil and Movado prided themselves in the 1990’s on producing some of the thinnest timepieces available with their ultra-thin Othello and Soleil collections, measuring less than 7mm in thickness, which is little more .27 of an inch in size. The Citizen Stiletto introduced in the early 2000’s probably holds the record for being the thinnest timepiece,…

Women’s Fashion Week Trends

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…

Here’s Proof That Two is Better Than One…

The people at Pantone went absolutely WILD and picked not one, but TWO colors of the year for 2016. Okay so technically it’s a blending of two shades, a mashup, if you will–Rose Quartz and Serenity. If you’re like me, when someone tells you these are the colors of the year, it means nothing. No colors come to mind. But once you see them, you’ll get it. It’s basically baby pink and sky blue. But according to Pantone’s website, it’s this: Rose Quartz is a persuasive yet gentle tone that conveys compassion and a sense of composure. Serenity is weightless and…

Hate it or Love it? Let’s Talk Valentine’s Day

Are you a V-Day hater, lover or is it just another day for you? Personally, I’m not into the whole card, balloons, flowers and chocolate kind of Valentine’s Day. Don’t get me wrong, if my fiancé comes home with chocolate, it will be eaten. I just mean I don’t buy into the commercial holiday. I appreciate the idea of a day to celebrate and show your love, because the world could use a lot more of that. However, I don’t think you need to go crazy at the Hallmark store or put pressure on yourself or your significant other in order to give them some good, good lovin’.…
