Any Kickstarter project that earns $100,000 in the blink of an eye (well, a 2 hour blink, but you get the point) deserves some attention. What's even crazier than the insane loot tossed at Pebble, [...]

Pocket watches are something you don't see all that often anymore. Unless you happen to be an R&B singer you're probably not wearing a vest and that's what they were most commonly worn with. Being [...]

People have been changing the bands on their watches since long before any of us were born. It's a cheaper alternative to buying a new watch. It lets you keep the face you've gotten comfortable [...]

TSOVET has, once again, managed to outdo themselves with their latest watch. The SVT-GR44 is a limited edition mechanical watch powered by the Valjoux 7750 movement. For your reference, that's like the Porsche of watch [...]
