I am always excited to get my hands on something new in the watch world. Recently, I was able to get a glimpse of an exciting new brand getting their start on Kickstarter.com, LIV Watches. I have had the opportunity to speak with the owner of the company over the phone, and have also had the opportunity to exchange emails with other company representatives. Through this contact, I was able to gather a good idea of the vision of this new watch company. LIV was founded by Sholom Chazanow (Chaz) wh..

Ah yes, it is time to talk about the Hawk of the Sea. Wait. Hawk of the Sea? Is that such a thing? Well, actually it is. (I had to look it up, I know about watches, not birds).

Please take a look at this very comprehensive video (20 minutes), where I cover a lot of detail and point out as much about the watch and its origins as I can. For many that know Jim Skelton, he has had a love for watche..

As I mentioned in a past review, I have been fortunate to see numerous Reactor watch models over the last few years and each time I come away impressed. One of my personal grail watches since its release has been the Poseidon.

Reactor promotes "Reactor DNA" which is essentially components and construction of their timepieces and the Poseidon is the flagship ex..
