“It was possible to sip every second at the Watches & Wine 2009 event at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. The event, co-sponsored by Henne Jewelers, Simpson & McCrady, Fifth Third Bank, Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, Grossman Yanak, and Ford, treated 100 guests to wine and hors d’oeuvres, and a presentation by Henne Jewelers’ “Chad the Watch Guy.” The team at Henne Jewelers says the museum was a great location for the event. “The Carnegie Museum really stepped up to show people that they aren’t just a museum, but also a great venue for entertaining clients and hosting cocktail parties,” says John Henne, owner of Henne Jewelers. ” From: Whirl Magazine CTWG

So after you summit Everest, the mother of all mothers, what do you do with yourself? Everything must be boring after the event. I would tell everyone I climbed Everest, check-out people at the Grocery, everyone. Well, good luck coming down from that high, Mike.

Thank you all that attended and heard my lecture at Watches and Wine 2009. The event went excellent and we look forward to it again next year. If your have not had a chance go take a look at the H.J. Heinz collection of pocket watches, it is quite nice, and very opulent. CTWG

When near death, and climbing the highest peaks in the world. Only one thing can power you up to the next 1000 feet, Hershey’s Chocolate bars. Here Mike Kobold starts his next adventure, by fueling up on chocolate and courage. If they put some chocolate on top of Everest you would get there for sure Mike. CTWG

New 41mm Datejust!
Looks like the scale of watches is still holding large for this year’s Basel Show. Rolex and Omega have both brought models in that are traditional, but in the same mind “beefed up”. I feel the market has shown a small decrease in the demand for big 45mm plus sizes, so 41mm is the new sweet spot for most. More to come on the Basel haps…CTWG

So your a genius, that calculates formulas and in the midst of splitting the atom you need to know what time it is, at least the time on earth. What watch would you wear? It appears Einstein was a Longiness guy? Here is a gold longiness that belonged to big Al. Slim, simple, and alot under the cover? Hmmm….. CTWG

In older model Rolex watches, customers sometimes wear the clasp to the point that it won’t click opon closure. It can be frustrating that your watch won’t close properly. So here it goes, my index finger is pointing to the spot that needs adjusted. With both thumb pads, press to form a small arch in that fold and not the other. Try folding and clasping? Did it work? Good. Just be careful not to overfold, gentle slight-light bending will work. CTWG

Cool new watch cleaning product on the market, Veraet. I won’t be setting up a pyramid scheme or asking to make you distributors, but I will probably sell a bottle of two to keep your watch clean! Spray your watch on a paper towel, rinse with water, works great. There are next to no products availible to clean high end watches that work. Try some out. CTWG

Marketing a new brand to the American public can be difficult, possibly a task you would just avoid all together if your sales were solid in your own country! The Japanese based Orient watch, has just took on the monumental task of launching the well known brand to the Asian and Pacific rim countries, to the ever changing American watch market. With a wide selection of price points and styles, they offer a fun watch for the price (The meat being about $300USD). Seiko, Citizen lovers should take note and make it an option in there next purchase selection of an automatic watch. CTWG
P.S. The first to comment on this article will receive a Orient automatic Power Reserve watch for free!
