Twits and tweets of the day. Yanked automatically for me, because I’m lazy. Now, you could just follow me on twitter and read all this stuff directly, or you can just read it here. It is all the same price.

13:17 Should you feel embarrased for missing the twitter meme of the day? I’m like totally asking for a friend. #
13:48 I’d love to be @favrd but I don’t know if I can handle seeing my name in lights. Wait, what? What do you mean there are no freakin’ lights? #
15:14 memes, innerwebs and 2.0s.. oh my.. #

milus skeleton, originally uploaded by benbarren.

New at the Basel watch fair this year, Milus brings out this very nice looking retrograde skeleton timepiece.

From their press release we learn:
The name of the TIRION is derived from the constellation of Orion, one of the most easily recognizable and brightest in the heavens, located in the equatorial region of the sky. The TIRION TriRetrograde Seconds Skeleton is available in a stainless steel version and an exquisite red gold version. The seconds retrograde are separated in three, twenty-second sectors each. An exclusive, special version of the timepiece also includes a Swiss quality mechanical movement with automatic winding.

Graham Swordfish Big 12-6

Adam — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 02:05:12 +0000

This watch crossed my path today when visiting WorldLux.com. This watch features an automatic movement with a fairly generous 42 hour power reserve. Weighing in at 42mm without the crown, this watch definitely makes a bold statement on the wrist without being ostentatious.

Louis Erard Heritage Chronograph

Adam — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 02:44:38 +0000

Going back to my love of things vintage, today brings in the Louis Erard Heritage Chronograph. This watch pays homage to the older military watches popular during the late 1920’s and early 1930’s as far as it’s dial work. The crown, subdials and pushers are quite modern but don’t detract from the vintage styling. I think I would have liked to see them using wire lugs, but that’s just a small suggestion to this otherwise beautiful watch.

Invicta Skull Lupah Diver

Adam — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 04:03:48 +0000

I’m a skull guy. Always have been. They just seem to be fascinating to me. The whole idea that we have this essential structure. It’s much like I enjoy seeing the steel girders or oak beams exposed in a living space. I like seeing the bits that make it possible for that structure to stand tall in the air and proclaim that this space is mine. In that vein, I absolutely fell in love with the Invicta Skull Lupah Diver when I first discovered it on accident during an eBay search. This watch features a Swiss Ronda quartz movement, black IP plating on both case and bracelet, and a blue tinted mineral crystal. This watch has become one of my absolute favorite watches that I own.

What better than a watch which contains gears that look like they could kill you? I mean come on, most guys built ninja throwing stars from nails and tape when they were kids, right? No? Was that only me? Well, now no more building these things from scratch. In a rush, just rip apart your watch and throw some gears. This watch is sure to be a grail for any collection.

Croton two toned diver

Adam — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 22:41:08 +0000

Croton as a company is backed by a man who gives his word that his warranty can’t be beat. In a world where watch companies are offering only 1 year warranties, and some are offering the rare 5 year warranty, Croton offers a limited lifetime warranty on all their watches. For this reason, I decided to give them a try recently with their two toned diver. This is probably one of my favorite watches. It is a fairly high quality watch for a little bit of money, with a great homage design of a Rolex Submariner. The Japanese Miyota automatic movement is a real workhorse, and is every bit as accurate as any Swiss engine. While I picked mine up at my local T.J. Maxx, you can snag this baby at just about anywhere.

Gerald Genta Retro Solo

Adam — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 02:13:39 +0000

Gerald Genta is a name that is usually well known in horology circles. Probably one of the most famous Swiss watchmakers, Genta was known for his unusual designs that challenged the establishment in watchmaking. Now, there is a company that is trying to live up to the master watchmaker in both style and unique design. Taking their cues from the automotive industry, Gerald Genta watches in their highest form feature retrograde movements and dial designs reminiscent of speedometers in classic vehicles. Take the Retro Solo for instance, with it’s simple styling, reminds me very much of a 1960’s era Chevy speedometer. Nothing short of classy, this timepiece would surely make any collector bubble with excitement.
