I bought a new strap for my SDGM001 that I hadn't worn in a long time. Over the course of the last week, I noticed it was losing quite a bit of time. Putting it on my timegrapher this morning only confirmed my suspicion.

My wife was having a girls' brunch today and I was kicked out of the house. As such, I decided to go to the mall and try to narrow down what my next watch is going to be.

Starting out at the Bulgari boutique, I wanted to get my hands on the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT. This watch has been on my list for a long time.

I was planning on buying a Bulgari Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT this month. However, some things have come up and that purchase has been delayed. I guess that gives me some more time to decide between the titanium and steel model. As you'll see ...

I don't usually start looking at other watches until I've acquired one but the delay (and downtime from a broken clavicle) has caused my mind to wander. I'm not particularly…

I was pondering a question posed earlier about choosing quartz vs mechanical at a price difference and it got me thinking. You can’t tell if an analog watch is mechanical or battery-powered if it isn’t running (watch knowledge notwithstanding). You can...

Has there ever been a watch with a digital display powered by mechanical means (manual or automatic)? It can’t require that much power and Seiko has had their kinetic line for years. I don’t mean a jumping-hour…
