the features of the new Ball watch
Beneath the sapphire glass there is an appealing guilloche dial with a sun-brushed sector. It indicates central hours and minutes. The small seconds tick away in the counter at 6 o'clock. This sub-dial is counterbalanced by a big date exhibition window at 12 o'clock.The audience can also enjoy a version, powered by a chronograph movement. A black alligator leather strap with a safety buckle completes the features of the new Ball watch.
Parmigiani Ovale Pantographe Watch
A long time ago English watchmakers Vardon and Stedman produced an oval-shaped pocket watch with telescopic hands designed to be properly sized (in length) no matter what part of the dial they were pointing to. You see, back then people cared about stuff like proper hand size (ahem...) on dials. Parmigiani apparently acquired the piece and restored it in 1997. The complicated mechanism, while not new, was very unique and they called it a pantograph (pantographe). The idea of hands that follow and match the contours of a dial is very cool, and in 2011 Parmigiani produced a limited editi
Oakley Time Bomb II Watch Remembered
We felt as though it was time to cover an interesting model and brand not yet discussed on aBlogtoWatch. Mostly known as a sunglasses maker, Oakley also has a rather interesting line of high-end as well as affordable watches. They are also one of the first big-name US brands to enter the "not cheap crap" watch market. I believe it was about 1999 when the brand's now famous "Time Bomb" watch was released.

Vittorium AT Watches
So recently, I am on the phone with a particularly enthusiastic Italian man who is telling me about Vittorium. He speaks to me like Vittorium is his child - no his family name - in a particularly enthusiastic manner that only Italians can seem to have mastered. Vittorium is a brand that until recently was totally unknown to me. Which makes sense as there isn't a lot of advertising and more or less little presence so far in the US. Vittorium has been around for a long time actually - but only recently started to brand their own watches - prior to such being a supplier for other brands.
