Alpina Extreme Diver 300 Chronograph Automatic Watch

Last year we really enjoyed the new version of the Extreme Diver 300 (reviewed here) that Alpina released. A great value for the money, it was one of our top pick divers for the year. For 2013, Alpina added a chrono with the Extreme Diver 300 Chronograph Automatic. Fundamentally, the Chronograph is a similar watch with an added chrono function, but the dial and case have also been updated for this new piece. As chronographs go, the design is rather good. Alpina has kept it toned down so as not to disrupt the normally "open" style of dive watches, something that you don't see all that o

IWC Pilot Chronograph Top Gun Miramar Watch

Hitting pretty close to home (for me) IWC announces its first new watch of 2012 with a piece titled after the location of a US Marine Corps base in San Diego. Miramar is the location of the Naval Air Station and where TOPGUN pilots are trained.

It seems as though their new strategy is to focus on? specific product families each year. Last year IWC focused on a major refr

Tiffany & Co. Watches Do Not Shine In 2010

For the most part I have great admiration for the watches that Tiffany & Co. has sold over the years. For a while, they combined their inventory with personally branded watches and ones from brands such as Rolex and Patek Philippe. Tiffany & Co. branded watches from the 1990's for example were very cool. I wrote a lot about the famous Streamerica watch designed by Jorg Hysek (you can search for it here on to the right, as I have written about it several times), and I personally reviewed a Tiffany & Co. Mark T-57 Automatic watch here. Tiffany & Co. was ve

Hublot King Power Knockout World Boxing Council Watch

Boxing seems to be the sport flavor of choice for many watch brands in 2012. You know it is serious when Hublot gets into the game. Their focus now is on a limited edition set for the World Boxing Council (WBC). The game Hublot is playing is pretty interesting actually. Hublot will produce 12 unique King Power "Knockout" WBC watches. As I understand it, each will look unique and be associated with one of 12 "legendary" boxers.Each of the watches will be auctioned off for charity, and the winners will get the watches presented to them by the boxers themselves. It would be more fun if i
