This month’s roundup is all about new watches, and we have got all sorts lined up for you, including Patek Philippe’s super elegant new ref. 5396 Annual Calendar watch and a super rare Rolex that you might never know existed.
As September comes to a close, this month’s round-up will focus on a couple of interesting new watches. The first watch that I want to highlight is the Gorilla Fastback watch.
We kickoff this round-up with Apple. Apple has just showed its serious about the smartwatch market by announcing its new Apple Watch Series 2. Though it looks just like its predecessor, it has been significantly improved. What does this mean for the watch industry?
There’s a decidedly Omega theme about this month’s roundup, and why shouldn’t there be? After all, Omega is a favorite amongst many readers and a bona fide icon of watchmaking. Specifically, we are going to focus on the most affordable Omega watches, Omega’s role at as timekeeper at the Olympics, and the story of a lost Seamaster that finally found its owner again. That and more great watch content from aBlogtoWatch and around the web.
In this round-up, we talk about spotting future collectables, as well as the recent trend of blacked out watches. And as usual, we also check out new watches, including one that I have been looking forward to all year.
We are kicking off this round-up with one of our special car and watch reviews. If you love the roar of large V8s, then you will enjoy this one, because we have a Superperformance Shelby Cobra, an almost perfect replica of the legendary Shelby Cobra; and the Baume & Mercier Capeland Shelby Cobra Limited Edition, a special made to celebrate the victories of Caroll Shelby.
