Breitling Blackbird Watch Video Review
2008-02-21 16:46:00 Well, I finally got my Breitling Black video review up! This is a very nice watch, and while does not have the polish of the Chronomat Evo, still looks pretty darn amazing on the wrist! In fact, the faceted bracelet might make it look more impressive. I really do like this Blackbird. More About: Video , Watch , Review
Hautlence - The Shape of Cool
2008-02-17 05:55:00 When they first came around in a few years back, I thought some of their stuff was just incredible, and now I’m really starting to appreciate it more and more as I see how well their cutting-edge designs still provoke, yet maintain an air of class.

Bracelet or Strap on your Watch?
2008-02-14 06:39:00 For some watch brands like Panerai, straps are part of the whole subculture of being a Panerai owner. However, there are brands like Breitling which excel at making very nice bracelets that are also very attractive and comfortable - albeit expensive. I personally prefer bracelets, however, with a Panerai I do like the straps. I’ve never ... More About: Watch , Bracelet , Strap
Does the JLC Reverso Grow on You?
2008-02-09 18:03:00 Like Fungus! Sorry… I just really wanted to say that. Back to business… the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso is probably one of the ugliest popular watches out there in my opinion, and I never really liked them. However, that is starting to change. The lines do not flow, the bezel is clunky, and it usually sports a ... More About: Grow

Breitlings and Celebrity Chefs
2008-01-09 01:44:00 The list of Celebrity Chefs that wear Breitling is quite long, and quite peculiar really. Breitling is first an aviation watch, not a chef watch. So why do so many Celeb Chef’s wear them? Possibly because they look so damn cool. I suppose 5 chefs isn’t that many.. but there might be more. Aside ...

Orbita Customer Service - Top Notch!
2007-12-13 00:11:00 I’ve owned a few Orbita Sparta deluxe winders, and the older ones that I own, though still only 10 months old, the motors they shipped with were quite noisy. Not a huge problem for a winder that only winds for 5-10 seconds every 10 or 15 minutes depending on the cycle. I ended up selling ... More About: Customer Service , Service , Customer , Notch

Breitling Watch Crowns - Should they be Under Warranty?
2007-11-30 17:03:00 That’s a good question. In my mind, if the crown falls off the watch, it should be fixed by Breitling under warranty… that’s assuming it unscrewed from the stem. However, if it snaps off the stem, then that’s a bit more difficult. Was it abused? Was it a fault stem? These are things that ... More About: Watch , Warranty , Crowns
