Ernst Benz Chronoscope John Varvatos Limited Edition Watch Review

It is with possible envy that fellow boutique watch makers view Ernst Benz's relationship with fashion designer John Varvatos. A relationship that has evolved into John himself configuring limited edition dual-branded timepieces that are sold exclusively in John Varvatos clothing boutiques. Such a relationship is rare, especially for brands the size of Ernst Benz. Still for what the brand is they have achieved some interesting celebrity partnerships. My favorite one was with large orange Chef Mario Batali (hands-on here).Ernst Benz has admittedly not released a very new timepiece in a

Temption CM05 Watch

I have a really strong affinity to the small, independent German watch maker Temption. I have two of their watches, the CGK203 and the Cameo (click on those links for my reviews). Each year they try to release a new model, and I eager await what they have to share. Last year it was the beautiful Cameo, and this year is the CM05.

A lot of you mentioned liking the good looks, fine iteration of the pilot watch look, and of course the reasonable price of $650. For those of you who are looking for a bit more, well here is something a bit more special with everything you liked about the original watch with a super nice movement. This is a version of the manually would model of the Pilot XL and has a subsidiary seconds dial. In all its German goodness it has a Swiss moveme

Universal Geneve Microtor UG 101 Is Every-man's Micro Rotor Watch

Last year at Baselworld Universal Geneve presented its Cabriolet watch with the new UG 101 movement. Important to the movement was its use of a micro rotor used to automatically wind the movement (Universal Geneve calls it the "Microtor"). Micro rotors are nothing new, but have traditionally stayed far away from "reasonably priced" watches. I am not saying the Microtor watch is going to be Seiko prices, but it certainly will be within the range of "I could save up for that." While last year's Cabriolet was more of a unique watch with a square flip around case, this year's Microtor is a
