John Isaac Icon XL Watch Review

Starting a new watch brand these days is a tricky endeavor. No one I've spoken to in the last few years who was part of starting a new line of timepieces mentioned money being their primary motive. That isn't to suggest that these aren't profit ventures, but rather that it takes a certain sense of drive and artistic desire to do what is necessary to bring a watch brand to life. John Isaac is just such a brand. It popped up recently with some interesting ideas and eye-catching designs. My favorite part is seeing how new ideas and new people add life to my favorite world.For rev

Dumb connection not to make right? Available in white or rose gold, the Manero ChronoPerpetual is just that - a limited edition version of the round cased Manero watch with an automatic chronograph perpetual movement. Starts at $31,000.Read my full article on the Carl F. Bucherer Manero ChronoPerpetual watch at Haute Living here.See Carl F. Bucherer watches on eBay here.See Carl F. Bucherer
