Update (12/21/09): This offer has expired, however we do plan to offer additional discounts on YES watches in the future. Please keep an eye on Watch Report for details. If you're a regular reader, you know that we're big fans of YES watches. We reviewed both the Zulu and the Tati, and love them both. I also happen to know the founder and CEO of YES watches, Bjorn Kartomten, personally, and I know how passionate he is about his watches, and about customer service. In fact, I've heard seve..

A closer look and you might wonder what the pushers are for, as it appears to lack complications. Via, say hello to a brand we've never heard of before, Sjoo Sandstrom. The brand is from Stockholm Sweden, and the watch pictured is the Chronolink Swedish Night. The really interesting part is hidden from sight: the Chronolink is actually two watches on one. On the front, there's an u..
