Bulova Women’s Precisionist Tanglewood Diamond Two-Tone Bracelet Watch
Written by admin on February 2, 2011 – 12:25 pm -The Bulova Story In 1875, a young Czech immigrant named Joseph Bulova set up shop in New York City, and a legendary American watch brand was born. Bulova was trained as a jeweler, and his expertise carried over into his watchmaking career, which began around 1911 with boudoir clocks and pocket watches, and soon evolved to include what was then one of the latest and most fashionable technological innovations: the wristwatch. Bulova introduced its first line of wristwatches in 1919. The company grew and prospered, and soon early radio and television ads were declaring, "America runs on Bulova time."

Breitling Superocean Heritage Review
Written by admin on August 6, 2010 – 6:14 pm -Breitling needs no introduction. We all know of this very popular (and rightly so) maker of fine watches for all activities. One thing I appreciate about Breitling is that no matter how "glitzy" their watch may get, they also stay true to being a well thought instrument. The Breitling Superocean line has been around for a while. Over 50 years in fact, in various iterations. However, most of the recent models have been a bit boring for my tastes. Yes, they make excellent diving watches, but I need a little more style on my wrist. Well, I was quite delighted to see Breitling's Superocean Heritage line released. The watches look great, with clean classic lines that are as functional as they are symmetric. Best of all, don't confuse the "Heritage"... more

Things to Consider When Choosing a Luxury Watch
Written by admin on March 7, 2010 – 9:44 pm -By Joe Thompson SPLURGE OR NOT? Luxury watches range from just under $1,000 to $100,000 and more. Among the most expensive are the prized tourbillions, which only an elite group of master watchmakers has the skills to produce. (The two-hundred-year-old mechanism consists of a revolving carriage that holds the balance wheel and escapement and makes a complete turn every sixty seconds to average out timekeeping errors caused by gravity.) A watch is inevitably a status symbol, and it's up to you to figure out what kind of status you want to symbolize. If you're really serious, luxury watchmakers are ready to accommodate. ROSE, WHITE, OR YELLOW GOLD? The tint of a piece of gold depends on the proportion of copper and silver mixed in with the pure... more
