Artya Son Of A Gun Dancing Skulls Watch
When are skulls on a watch the less controversial choice? When skulls replace bullets of course. As a limited edition (of perhaps only one), Yvan Arpa's Artya brand based out of Geneva has created a special piece for Halloween 2013 of his Son of a Gun watch collection with skulls on the dial - as well as on the bracelet. This is perhaps the first watch I have seen with a dedicated bracelet made of skulls. It also may be the first bracelet from the Artya brand. Whether you are into wearing skulls or not, this is a watch worth knowing about if you want to be a well-rounded watch collecto
Top 10 Technically Important Mechanical Wrist Watches
Most wristwatches made today are hardly state-of-the-art, but rather continue a tradition of watch making set in motion long ago. One reason many collectors are interested in vintage watches is because many of them represent important achievements in technology and functionality that we take for granted today. aBlogtoWatch has done its homework and brought to you what we feel are the top 10 most technically important mechanical wrist watches. By the 1920s, consumers had accepted wristwatches as practical and pocket watch sales had started to decline dramatically. By 1930, the ratio of
Ulysse Nardin Black Sea Chronograph Watch
If you would have told me sight-unseen that a rubber-clad timepiece would make a luxury watch I would have never believed you. Then it started to happen, high-end brands began to experiment with coatings of vulcanized rubber on watches. It started with bezel pieces, crowns, and pushers. Then brands like Ulysse Nardin said "screw it, let's just coat the entire damn thing in rubber." That is where pieces like the original Black Sea came from. Since then, Ulysse Nardin has offered a range of Maxi Marine based watches coated in rubber. There was a blue model, and some with trim details of
Fukang Watch Company: 'Expressionately' From China
"Fukang Watch!" This Chinese watch maker contacted me recently to tell me about their company and status as OEM and promotional watch makers. I have a feeling they do most of their business in China. You have here a watch company that is no where near being ready to enter the Western market. While their intentions are good, my reaction to their website and marketing is nothing short of hilarity. Starting with the name, we can tell that although their website () has an English section, no one who actually speaks English spent any time on it. Again... "Fukan
Moving On An Upward Spiral With Angular Momentum's Enameled Crystal Time Spiral Watch
When art and watch presentation intersect, it is easy to go overboard with too much. This is why I am happy to see the AXIS/XXVII Time Spiral - Ref. 6270 from Angular Momentum. They've taken the spiral design, and ingeniously integrated it into the watch face. You'll notice this is no mere spiral painted on a watch, but the actual numbers and layout are integrated into the design, which is still perfectly legible as a watch.The design is reverse painted on the sapphire crystal. This technique is often called eglomise, and has been well utilized by Angular Momentum for sometime on a nu
