While we usually do not cover expensive luxury timepieces, the new Hard Black II from Linde Werdelin is literally too cool to overlook. Linde Werdelin is well known for its high end sports watches that mix instantly recognizable styling cues with high  tech manufacturing processes. This new model is based on the One lineup and features a stainless steel case that is coated in an impossibly small layer of carbon (1/1000th of a millimetre). This carbon layer makes the surface three times harder ..

A few months ago we got a chance to review the Artego 300m Diver and loved it. It seems Artego has been busy as they recently launched a new model, the Sea King.

This is a line taken from their website, "We say that we produce our watches 50 years ago when workmanship and personal attention of the watchmaker was the standard in the high end..

Most of the time I wear geeky watches, or dive watches, but sometimes you just want to strap on something clean and elegant. Via, let us introduce you to a.b.art watches, who have a nice focus on clean, uncluttered dials and reasonable pricing. Here's the blurb from their front page: Clean, simple, uncluttered. Every watch in the a.b.art collection is designed with a purity inspired by the Bauhaus tradition and engineered in Switzerland. Yet with prices from £120 to £898, these are Swiss ..
