Part of being a style aficionado is making the decisions that will put you ahead of the other aficionado’s out there. A mechanical watch is alive… that is what sets it apart from the precision of the quartz watch. It is kept alive by its beating heart – the balance wheel. Even we at Ovel […]

June 24, 2014 by
We have already established that iPhone’s like wood. And by no stretch of the imagination can we assume that Father Time would also prefer to observe his work from the natural essence of Maple or Black Walnut.

Rakani – For The Fashionably Late Man Who Wears A Watch
June 6, 2014 by
Let’s face it, men wear watches for more than just to tell the time. I mean, your smartphone already has the time. Your Smarty Ring probably does too, which leaves the statement of your watch as probably the most important aspect. Introducing the watch that understands that you have other things on your mind besides […]
Late Watch by Bad Goods
June 2, 2014 by
If it’s bad to be late, it has to at least be good to do it while wearing this ‘Late’ watch by Bad Goods. Bad Goods is one of our favorite designers from 2013, and we particularly enjoy their good Aussie humor behind such products as the Hello My Name is Condom 4 Pack and […]
Ralph Lauren Versus Automotive Flying Tourbillion Watch
April 10, 2014 by
What makes a classic watch truly unique, is finding ways to make the impossible a possibility. The craftsman must also accomplish the task with the care and direction of a Renaissance artist.

HYT H2 – The Watch That’s so Hot, it has it’s Own Temp Gauge
February 27, 2014 by
The liquid cooled function of the HYT H2 watch is amplified by its skeletal face and precision engineering. I mean, how many watches do you own that have a unique ‘event’ that happens every day at 3 o’clock. At 3 o’clock is a “H-N-R” crown position indicator, which brings to mind the gearstick of a […]

There is a new watch designer in town called 88 Rue Du Rhone. They are literally an offshoot from the notorious Swiss watchmaker, Raymond Weil, as the principle men behind the brand are his two grandsons. Elie and Pierre Bernheim have been creating quite a buzz in the media, and it is easy to see […]
