New Models/Movements...

Ickler’s Arcadia collection now features a brown dial version. The
case, in stainless steel, measures 42mm x 10mm. The crystal is
sapphire, with a mineral display back, and it is water resistant to 50
meters. Movement is the Swiss automatic ETA caliber 2824-2 with 25 jewels. It
is available with a leather strap or a stainless steel bracelet. MSRP is $595.






Developed after 3 years of research, the entirely designed in-house
caliber SM2 is comprised of 211 parts, and will serve as a basis for
future complications. It beats at 21,600 vph and has a power reserve of
72 hours. It features bi-directional automatic winding.





TAG Heuer’s motor racing-inspired collection, the Carrera, has been
expanded with the new Caliber 1887 automatic chronograph. The case measures 41mm, it has double sapphire crystals, and is water
resistant to 100 meters. Dials can be had in silver or black. The Caliber 1887 is equipped with a re-engineered version of the
oscillating pinion, patented by Edouard Heuer in 1887 (which starts the
chronograph in under two-thousandths of a second), and a column wheel.

Sweet Seiko that's rebagged as a TAG

I had the chance to see some Speake-Marin watches, and met Peter Speake-Marin about a year ago. They are really nice pieces. The fit and finish is absolutely beautiful. If I were to drop 5 figures on a dress watch, it would be one of his.

I agree!!!! That is one very classy watch.

I've never even heard of those watches but they look sweet!. I like the other posted too, especially the Tag Carrera.

Cool watches and movement!!

That Archimede has such a stunning dial ! Kind of red brown, that
catches the light nicely. It's a classy watch, and the price is pretty
nice also !..I haven't seen Speake-Marin before, but I'm glad I have
now. It's a neat looking watch imho. The thick case, and vintage
style is excellent. Those hands are OUTSTANDING though. The movement,
and it's decoration are just as impressive by the way ! EXTREMELY nice !
Also have to say the Tag Heuer is exceptional as well ! The quality of
this watch must be insanely good. You can imagine how great, this one
would look in person. Nice dial, nice case, nice movement, with this one,
..and ALL of these !!!

like the tag and not many that i do dig!
