Watch Fetish: Zenith Stratos Flyback Striking 10th
This is the watch Felix Baumgartner wore for his amazing jump from the edge of space. With prices from $4,800 to $14,750, it’s definitely out of my price range, but it’s a striking piece. From Gear Patrol: Before 1969, chronographs were all hand-wound; the problem of integrating a self-winding mechanism into the tight space of [...]

This one falls into the “in your wildest dreams you’d never spend this much money on a watch” category, but it’s a thing of beauty. The price is about $7,600. Oh well, one can always dream (wildly). Read more about it at IWC’s site
Watch Fetish: Casio G-Shock GB-6900
I guess this is the inevitable progression for watches: they talk to your smartphone by Bluetooth. This one has some neat-looking features. Casio Japan is planning [JP] to roll out the G-SHOCK GB-6900 on March 16 next year, a wristwatch that connects to certain smartphones via Bluetooth LE (LE=low-energy, a standard that’s baked into Bluetooth 4.0). The device will [...]

Watch Fetish: Casio Pathfinder PAW5000
I like Casio watches in general. They’re usually pretty reasonably priced, solid and dependable. At $480, this one’s probably at the upper end of my affordability range. In addition to telling time, it has sensors that measure altitude, barometric pressure, temperature, and directions. It’s waterproof to 100 meters (like most people that buy one will ever [...]
Watch Fetish: TAG Heuer Mikrotimer Flying 1000
This is a supremely cool looking watch. It’s accurate to 1/1000 of a second (I’m not sure where that level of precision is necessary, but that’s beside the point – 1/1000 of a second!). The price hasn’t been announced yet, but I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to afford one. See more details at [...]
