As a child growing up in the 1970s, Ingersoll Rand was a name that I often saw on large industrial equipment in the factory my dad worked. A few days ago, the name Ingersoll popped up on my friend Jack’s wristwatch which surprised me. Was the industrial machinery supplier into wristwatches now? I had known […]
Sporty timepieces inspired by the world of motorsport is what came to mind when looking at the Ferrari brand of watches. Actually, I wasn’t even aware of the brand until I saw one of the Ferrari timepieces on the wrist of one of my buddies. Bobby is a huge motorsport fan and someone who lives […]
My first impression of the Zeppelin Series LZ 129 Hindenburg 7036-1 when I saw it online was that it was different, not like any of the other watches you see out there. I was surfing the online watch stores in search of a wrist watch for my husband Jim. His birthday was approaching and I […]
There’s a story behind every model of the Vostok Europe watches. These are men’s watches designed for the most extreme of sporting activity.

Frankly, I haven’t met a lot of people who would make Orient watches their first choice. In fact, not many folks know much about the Orient brand of watches. Shopping for watches, most folks just pick out the most visible brand of the time, quite often ignoring some of the best quality watches that are […]
For the horological aficionados, the watch is the ultimate engineering feat, while lay folks like you and me find it a useful tool to tell the time, day and date.

“Susie, I think I need to get a new watch”, said my husband Nate returning from work. Nate was in the construction industry and regularly handled heavy equipment, machine tools and therefore needed rugged work gear which included his watch as well. The watch he usually wore to work was a large, hefty timepiece perfectly […]
The dress had arrived, the matching shoes and bag were ordered and should be arriving in a couple of days. Preparations were almost complete to celebrate the big event – our daughter’s twenty first birthday. It seemed like it was just yesterday that she was this little girl with pigtails going to school. How fast […]
The Armani brand was associated with high-end suits decades ago, though today the brand has branched out into fashion apparel, accessories, watches and more.
