Retrowerk German Diver - The Watch of Rapture.

Hey Guys,

Have you ever played the game Bio-Shock? If you have, you will easily be able to connect the dots on this one. The Retrowerk German Dive watch with compass is such a killer vintage, stylized piece, that is the only way I can really describe it. It is Bio-Shock-ey!

I love the styling of all of the Retrowerk models, but this one is by far my favorite. The size of the watch is massive, the presentation is impressive, and the finish is killer. The compass on this model is removable which is a great feature AND it makes wearing it a little more friendly. With the compass this watch is about 25mm thick! It's 17mm without the compass.

The case of this Retrowerk is 316L Stainless steel with a brushed Bronze finish that I love. I really want to get my hands on a Panerai Submersible 1950 with the bronze case... but we will have to get to that one later. ll of the Retrowerk models house Rhonda Swiss made movements and use high quality straps, buckles and components. In my opinion, these watches offer a killer look for the money, and a terrific quality for the $600 - $1200 price tag.

Ziiiro Aurora - Snow Teaser

Gentelmen,

Welcome back. So I wouldn't say that I got an overwhelming amount of questions... but I did get a few in regards to my review of the Ziiiro Gravity Ocean. The main question that I heard was "How easy is it to clean? I am considering the white one and want to know if it will be difficult to keep clean."

I didn't have a good answer other than, "well mine looks good... But it's blue" so how is that helpfully of someone who wants a white one? Um, uh, it's not! Soooooo I have purchased the Ziiiro Aurora in the Snow color. I LOVE my Gravity, and I think it will be cool to interchange the two completely different faces in the different colored straps. I will be wearing the Ziiro Aurora Snow for the next few weeks and reporting back. I hope it stays as clean looking as the Ocean, buy only real life "field testing" will let us know for sure.

Fiona Kruger – Memento Mori -

This is Memento Mori by Fiona Kruger Sooooooooo cool! I cant wait to get more info on this watch. I will keep everyone up to date the best I can. Hopefully I can get my hands on one for a full review.

Fiona krüger, a recent graduate of ECAL/university of arts and design lausanne from the master in luxury industry and design
has created 'Memento Mori' for her thesis project. the timepiece reinterprets the theme of mortality in watch-making.
the luxury watch appreciates both the mexican imagery of dia de los muertos and the 17th century watch of mary queen of scotts
with a human skull detailed with decorative, gold metalwork. the skeletal form of the the faceplate is formed by layering,
by which the intricate nature of a mechanical watch is reinforced.

the case is fashioned from solid silver and mineral hand cut glass and is engraved by hand as well. the dial is made from gold
and rhodium plated brass which has been laser cut and engraved. blued steel hands of the clock move by a ETA 2824 mechanism
over the skull watch face. 'momento mori' is fastened to one's wrist by a blued calf leather band with a silver buckle
