Three new Curv models have joined the Mens line up on the Bulova website and there are green ,grey or black dial choices. Cases are steel, 43mm wide and one features … Continue reading New Bulova Curv Models, And The Price Just Went Up

Yes, you could buy a Swiss watch anytime. Your colleagues and friends might be impressed, or not. But there are alternatives and when you really want to go your own way, sometimes a UK brand with its own style is worth a look.

There’s something magic about watches that tie in with motorsport, classic cars or motorcycles. It’s the gear cogs I reckon, the dials and needles etc. All engineering is fascinating, whether it’s a Honda NSR400 with ceramic liners and two stroke soundtrack, or a Breitling Avenger…which is better than any Chrysler Avenger for sure, even the V8 Tiger. Oh yeah, they made a V8 Hillman Avenger … Continue reading Petrolhead Watches, From Budget to Luxury
It’s always worth looking at the latest models from Timex. We love them because yeah, it’s a fashion brand, but they market their heritage with some elan. OK, the modern ones aren’t going to be truly collectable, but hey, they do the timekeeping job with more panache than many other fashion brands in the same price range. Yes Daniel Wellington, Kors, MVMT, Boss, Armani, Cluse … Continue reading Watch Picks: Timex New Arrivals
