Chronographs, divers watches, Men's watches, Swiss Legend, Swiss Watches, Watch Bundles

Spring is here and judging from the weather outside it still feels like late winter with temperatures throughout the nation hitting highs in the low 50’s this week. In fact the warmest parts of the nation: Hawaii and Florida are only experiencing highs in the low 70’s today. It’s best to keep your winter outerwear, sweaters and scarves out a little while longer this season, since bundling up is going to be essential for staying warm this spring. WorldofWatches.com is offering another form of bundling up for spring this week with their Swiss Legend Bundle Blowout promotion, featuring bundles sets…

Hamilton Screen Legends

Hamilton watches are renowned for being true legendary American timepieces. The brand was founded in 1892 in Lancaster, PA and was one of the largest producers of Railroad watches in the early 1900’s. Hamilton was commissioned by the US military for wristwatches worn by servicemen during both World War I and World War II. Notably, more than 1 million watches were shipped to troops overseas during the Second World War… a time when the production of consumer watches was halted by brand to exclusively produce timepieces for the US Army and Navy along with other allied Navies as well. The…

Buying a watch can be a rather intimidating and baffling experience, perhaps even more challenging for some of us than purchasing an automobile or even a house. With similar terms such as chronograph and chronometer to consider, not to mention trying to comprehend the difference between automatic, mechanical and quartz movements inside and the different levels of water-resistance, there’s a lot to ponder over for new watch buyers and numerous avid watch collectors alike. The new Knowledge Center at WorldofWatches.com answers many of the questions both new watch buyers and seasoned collectors may have. There are sections on the Inside…

Join The GMT Movement!

Before first glancing at a GMT Watch you may think that the timepiece has something to do with either Formula 1 auto-racing or the GMT games. Although the three initials are the same, a GMT watch has very little to do with either activity. A GMT Watch is a timepiece with an independent hour hand that offers dual time-zone functionality and may be set to the Greenwich Mean Time from which it is named. Greenwich Mean Time is the solar mean time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich England. The Royal Observatory’s solar mean time has served as a global…

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…

3 Great Watches for Fly Fishing

Bulova Accu-Swiss Watches, Bulova Watches, Fly-Fishing Watches, Men's watches, Raymond Weil Watches, Swiss Legend, Swiss Watches, Watch Trends

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…

Our Very Good Years – Men’s Watches As We Age

Automatic Watches, Corum Watches, Daniel Wellington, Designer Watches, Maurice Lacriox, Maurice Lacroix, Men's watches, Omega Watches, Raymond Weil Watches, Swiss Watches

Call me old. Especially around 9 PM at night when I really feel old. Last Friday night, I spent a lot of time with the brooding side of Frank Sinatra on Youtube, and of course “A Very Good Year” came on. That song is iconic for both the Chairman of the Board and for the whole Rat Pack lifestyle. It expresses the good life, and how it eventually gets compartmentalized as we age in a series of moments. We start to think in generalizations about periods of our life, rather than looking on the whole. Since I work around watches…

88 Rue Du Rhone Watches, Automatic Watches, Diamond Watches, Men's watches, Raymond Weil Watches, Swiss Watches, Watch History, women's watches

High-end luxury brands and designers often name a product after a street address or location where they started. Chanel’s 31 Rue Cambon fragrance is named for the Paris address where Coco Chanel opened her first store. Hermès 24 Faubourg fragrance is named for the 24 Faubourg Saint Honoré address where the brand’s founder Charles Hermès set-up shop in 1880. Prominent British men’s clothier Savile Row is named for the tawny street in the Mayfair section of central London. New luxury watchmaker 88 Rue Du Rhone is inspired by the prestigious street in Geneva, Switzerland, where many luxury retailers are based.…
