The Commonwealth Crew Horology Club In Chicago

The Internet is a wonderful thing - it enables all sorts of business and activities, and allows us to more easily gain knowledge on whatever our chosen hobby happens to be. With the watch world, we've got no end of sites, personal blogs, and forums to rely on. But sometimes you just want to have a face-to-face chat about watches - and that's where the Commonwealth Crew comes in.At least, that is, if you are in the Chicago area. The Commonwealth Crew is one of the newest offshoots of the rather popular Red Bar Crew out in New York. For those not familiar, that started out with a

TechnoMarine Listens Carefully To Cries From The Apparently Large Segment Of Under Diamond-ed Rich Active Women With The New UF6 Diamond Watches

The mother of all luxury is to be rich and active right? You have lots of money AND the time to use that money doing active things. Want to go bike riding in South Africa over the weekend? No problem, fill up the $100,000 tanks of gas on the small private jet and get yourself over there. You'll also need the right watch for the trip there. Perhaps not the best thing for the actual bicycling, but you know, a nice sporty and diamond encrusted watch to get you in the mood.Well, TechnoMarine hears you. They more than hear you (if you are a woman that is), and have released some new w
