TAG Heuer Monaco X Porsche Club of America: A Super Sleek Collaboration of Two Icons Does it get much cooler than the Heuer Monaco? Not really. Does it get much cooler than a vintage Porsche? Again, not so much.
It makes perfect sense then that would team up with TAG Heuer to produce a limited edition Monaco in celebration of the club's 55 years in existence.

An American Made Reverso? The Watch That Caused Jaeger LeCoultre to Sue Hamilton Back in the 1930s, long before Bruce Wayne began wearing one, the Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso watch had become all the rage, and not just with. Naturally, the Hamilton Watch Company witnessed the Reverso popularity and decided to try to borrow some of the design elements of the Reverso to make a watch that they called the Otis. The only problem is, they borrowed just a bit too much from JLC.
Made for just a few years in the late 1930s and early 1940s, the Otis brought together Hamilton classic dial design with a reversible case that, according to Jaeger, was just a little too similar to the Reverso. In fact, it is said that Hamilton had to stop making the Otis after Jaeger LeCoultre accused Hamilton of patent infringement.
Hamilton Otis watches do come up for sale on occasion and they are certainly more reasonably priced than a vintage Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso. They represent an interesting attempt by Hamilton to capture some of JLC's muster, and they may even be more rare than their Jaeger counterparts.

are a lot like classic American Muscle cars expect for the American part that is. They are big, made with lots of metal, have cool designs on them, and make you feel good being around them. At the same time, they aren't very practical, don't always have what they look like they should under their hoods, and aren't the most comfortable machines to use on a daily basis. Italo Fontana's U Boat brand has come very far since being a pure fashion brand of big watches with a design scheme that vaguely resembles its namesake German submarines. Public love and strong sales led to quality improvements for the brand and a series of designs so often copied, "original" U Boat watches are a watch lover favorite and status symbol in the right circles.
U Boat's momentum is only held back by its new designs and ability to continue to squeeze juice out of its theme. While there is a sweet spot case size and design for the brand, they have gone a good way beyond that a number of times specially done for those who need a fresh fix of wild designs. Like a dress made specially for a model to show off during a runway show only, this limited edition U Boat U 1001 watch is a bold fashion item that has many hallmarks of being something function, but falls just short of actually being that. This isn't to say the? U 1001 isn't a watch or doesn't function well as one, but rather that it has some rugged features that are sort of misplaced on an "image" watch such as this.
Wearing the U 1001 I feel pretty cool. I don't know if this is because I keep hearing the cool music that U Boat has on their website and pondering the sophisticated marketing campaigns they employ, or if I am genuinely moved by their clever designs. It is funny, because no matter how many silly things I find in the watch, I still like it. Which goes back to my concept of it being like a muscle car. It is totally unwise for me to think about driving in stop and go California traffic in that dream '69 GTO Judge, but I think I would look pretty kick ass in the process.
Speaking of big metal cars, the U Boat U 1001 is a whopping 55mm wide in titanium. The metal case is cut very well, and the titanium has a very smooth bead blasted feel to it. All over the case are branding details and information about the watch. Read the back and the sides of the watch to learn just about everything you'd like to know about it. The U 1001 name refers to the fact that it is water resistant to 1001 meters. Basically it is the same as a 1000 meter diving watch, but they decided to add another meter to the title. Watches are usually tested a bit beyond their stated water resistance, so adding that extra meter doesn't mean anything from a technical standpoint all part of the built in depth rating wiggle room. The watch is also limited to 1001 pieces (333 or so pieces of each color), and is available with a variety of colors trims for the dial. Here you have a lovely blue for the hand and some of the hour indicator. While the chic looking dial design, complete with the name of the watch is hip looking, it is pretty a functional for diving purposes given that this is a diving themed watches. U Boat released the U 1001 watch completely devoid of lume, as omission from what have been a great looking watch in the dark.
It has more features for diving such as the helium escape valve beneath the crown, but again, how can you go diving in a watch that you can't really see underwater? Perhaps it is good for the sunny clear water of the topics. In that case, dive deep my friends. Well machined, and each operates as they should without problem. I am happy to see that for the price of this watch U Boat ensured high quality throughout the watch. Cause in the end, even if the watch is functionally silly, it is still well made and designed nicely. Under the super large crown cap is the actual crown which is tiny in comparison. The crown cap screws down, and so does the crown. I just found that sort of humorous. So much water resistance security.
