Be still my beating heart! An expression usually indicating excitement upon finding a mate or a low-mileage Honda NSX that hasn’t been modified by Fast and Furious folk.

Again. Still. Their current pitch: “Get in the Octagon with Timex and UFC to create your legacy.” Hmmm… I reckon you can round down to zero the percentage of watch buyers – or sane people – who’d step inside […]

Until now, I was with Gerald Genta – the man, the myth the legend, the genius behind the whole luxury steel sports watch phenom. He famously called the jumbo-sized watch riffing on his design “an elephant in the sea.” And no wonder… The ROO launched in 1993, […]

My information comes from deployant.com and familiarity with the BR 05 – a bland timepiece with a mostly meh movement that tries to be B&R’s Nautilus – and fails. Commercially? That I don’t know.
