Casio Edifice EQWM1100DC-1A2 Watch Review
While this watch dial in action looks like a miniature aerial view of an amusement park, something is actually going on - this isn't all for show. With the reference EQWM1100DC-1A2 Edifice "Black Label" watch, Casio wanted to turn all of the functions present in most of its better digital watches in a analog stage show. To be honest I never thought such a thing could be done, even though Casio has been experimenting with making sophisticated digital functions in analog format for a while. Tag Heuer was getting all hot on themselves for putting a mechanical analog 1/100th of a second mo
Best Of: Audemars Piguet Watch Museum
It is ironic (and sad), that literally a week or two after I visited the Audemars Piguet Watch Museum in Le Brassus, it was burglarized! Yup, flat out heist. The thieves scaled the sides of the building with a ladder, broke into a window and ran off across the border into France with some watches. I am not sure what they were able to run off with. The museum is designed such that the exhibits are each in highly secured "vault" style rooms. Meaning that if you break into one room, chances are that you aren't gonna get into other rooms. I wonder what they were able to get. Some of those

For examples these models are all in platinum. They are highly primed for visual appreciation. Of the 2010's new collections from Van Cleef & Arpels is the Midnight Extraordinary Series. I don't know exactly how models there are. but here are three from the main California Landscapes collection, and two below from the Midnight Extraordinary Japanese Lacquer series.I am most interested in the California Landscap
Watch Auctioneer Antiquorum Gets Maron-ated: Changes Under New (Ironic) Ownership?
If you recall some older articles of mine, I didn't exactly speak to fondly of Antiquorum's totalitarian tactics behind their running of Timezone, which they own. The large luxury watch auctioneer has been around for a while focused on the buying and selling of uber luxury watches and people who feel comfortable writing blanks checks. They have some really nice watches of course, but take my word for it these people put the "snob" in "snobby."Well for whatever reason Antiquorum (Antiquorum) is under new rule. Watch selling veteran Robert Maron has taken (or been offered a
My Topman Smart Futurist Analogue Watch Article On AskMen
This was admittedly a tough watch to talk about. Unlike the Timex Classic Camper ($35), this Topman Smart Futurist Analogue watch is not a little beater watch dedicated to function, but rather a $40 fashion watch with more fashion backwards relevance than anything else. As a watch, there was not too much to talk about. Case and quartz movement with quirky looks? Not much material there. Instead the piece is a commentary on the design, and what I think it all means. So check it out.See my Topman Smart Futurist Analogue watch article on AskMen here.Best MatchItems Endin
