Just when you thought you had your first Zinex Visa bill knocked down, Zinex comes back with a new G.M.T. diver. The new bad boy will be tested to the bottom of the Maranis trench. So be sure you “Desk Divers” can brag up the BARS in comparison to a 300M girly model your friend is wearing. A sand blasted case and old school mesh bracelet adorn this new Trimix. I hold my breath at the bottom of the pool awaiting the debut. More info from the source check: CTWG

Check out the new Kobold Sprit of America! Mike Kobold doing his best to construct a timepiece almost entirely in the United States. Cases were constructed right in my home base of Pittsburgh “were steel was born” and guts were re-worked here in the States from a German caliber Mike found in his travels, making the now famous Caliber K.2651! Pittsburgh from now on will be called Neu Lancaster, I hope to have more news when Mike gets back from Rumspringa!

42mm seems to be the resting point for big watches. Companies go bigger and smaller still to play it safe 39mm-42mm is always in style and a safe trend buster. The Folks at Rolex could care less and put most of their product at 36mm and it works, but if you collect others, hit the sweet spot. CTWG

Exceptional watchmakers get special attention on CTWG and Nienaber Bünde would be one of them. Retrograde specialties and hand made beautiful watches are all you will find in his collection. If you make your way to Hall 5 in Basel you will find some of these special watch professionals, showing pieces they labored over for years. Many do not deal with the public often and have shy mannerisms, but amazing talent. Look beyond some of the big hitters in the industry and you may find the perfect timepiece that you never thought would thrill you, perhaps a Nienaber Bünde? CTWG

A small animation of the genius work in action!
June 20th, 2008
The word genius gets thrown around more than a white belt in Judo class, but it fits ever-so nice for the ranking member of Cyclos watches. John C. Ermel, Architect and Designer, Managing Director of CYCLOS Watch is the brains behind the most under appreciated watch in the industry. His concepts come to life from Architect eyes, to the tangible making his watch creations something truly special to behold. His new creation the ” Squared Circle” is a masterpiece in timekeeping! A wristwatch with a small sapphire navigating its way in a square path of time, alone with one other hand. Sounds soooo simple, find any company, anywhere that could produce it in a mechanical wrist watch and drinks are on me, its a bet. CTWG

“Remember you will die” graces the front of the Mr. Jones watch. Hmmm. Deep. I think I will pass, it’s hard enough trying to get out of bed on Monday and with this morbid thought on your wrist, before coffee, I might just end it. How about “Hope for the Afterlife” dial, a lot more cheerful, but the Atheist model is still availible. CTWG

My interest in the Doxa line has peeked this season and I hope to see a few on watch fanatic’s wrists in the future. The classic 60’s dive watch has great appeal and should be celebrated with some play in your collection. The Old rice bracelet and extra sturdy case make it tough, but it also has the cult following for the orange dial fans being the first in that department. It’s good to sting people with that it was the first orange dial placed on the market, when they say they have a Stowa orange peel special. Check the yellow G.M.T. limited also it’s smoking nice for the price. Take these watches to the beach and watch the girls circle like sharks. CTWG
