3 Automatic Timepieces by Harley-Davidson® Bulova

After I wrote about the collaboration of luxury watches and exotic cars, it hit me that I should write about motorcycles. And oh boy! I love Harley-Davidson! Everytime I'm driving on the road, my eyes would be looking out for Harleys! They are my dark wild horses! Give one to me and I ride them on the freeway! It's all about freedom riding a Harley! Ok, enough of my infatuation for Harley! I have to get my bike Class 2 license first though. Anyway, Bulova collaborate with Harley-Davidson and produce magnificent designs using self-winding movements with descriptions like "exhibition window" which ...

Our Humble Beginning

Watchdefinition.info is founded by a wonderful great friend of mine who happens to be a cancer-survivor. Her passion for timepieces is extraordinary. She can talk all day long about timepieces without taking a break. Yet she does not want to be known. That's how extraordinary this person is. I worked with her in designing a modest image header in Watchdefinition.info blogspot beginnings. The first post was Cartier Roadster XL Chronograph. From then on, she paved the way and wrote articles and posts to last for 365 days of reading entertainment all about watches and horology. We are not experts in watchmaking or ...

Dragons Embedded In Timepieces for Eternity

Dragons are myth creatures of and centuries and beyond and there are many types of dragons from the West and the East. The same goes for timepieces. Every watchmaker has his own vision of dragons carved and engraved, embedded into the movements blending with the carefully selected materials that will surely attract gaze and awe. I was curious about it and I started to search for dragons wristwatches or timepieces. To my stunning enthusiasm, I found a few elites or shall I say the few myth dragons of time! =) Presenting the Mythique Collector's masterpieces from Juvenia! via Juvenia Mythique Introducing "The Dragon Gate ...

A new watch brand is born in California:- XETUM.
Founded and designed by longtime wristwatch and design aficionado, Jeff Kuo. Xetum was created because he wants timepieces that are able to blend modern design, Swiss components and at the right pricing.

The design philosophy is “accessible modern”, using only high quality Swiss components and eco-friendly initiatives which really is a plus point. Some of the initiatives includes 1. Naturally vegetable tanned handmade straps with Italian cork lining 2. rubberwood watch box and 3. carbon friendly watch carton.

My personal favorite of all their models is the simple uncluttered Stinson in brown dial.

null

The Stinson is all about the basics. A sweep second hand glides effortlessly around the minimalist dial. For those who appreciate uncluttered functionality and design, the Stinson represents timekeeping at its most fundamental level.

Housed in ETA 2824-2 automatic movement, its face is fitted with a sapphire crystal and back with hardened mineral crystal. A classic case size of 40mm, the Stinson’s matte brown dial comes with a butterfly clasp on its vegetable tanned leather strap.
Retails at $995, with 2 year international warranty.

Longio Watch Co.

Jan 29, 2010 Special Posts, Tourbillon Leave a comment

One of the many pleasures of having your own watch business, is that you get to interact with many people who are passionate and in the loop of this industry.

My friend, Thomas Carey, from watchandclockforum (which is a great forum by the way), has introduce to me a new brand, called Longio Watch Co.

Longio Watch Co. is the P.R.C. Manufacture of luxury Tourbillon watches and automatic watches using Swiss ETA 2824-2.

Now wait a minute, do not just shun away from all products made from P.R.C. No doubt there are many counterfeit watches manufactured from her, but do not forget some of the very good old brands like Fiyta and Seagull.

I must say that their tourbillons are very well crafted. I am sure the swiss counterparts tourbillons are in the 5- or 6-figured sum which very very few of us can afford; the Longio versions are priced in the 3-figures only.

I particularly like the Flying Tourbillon with Moonphase and Date in Gold PVD as it incorporates two of my favorite features in a complicated watch: Moonphase and see-through mechanism.

Specs:
Movement: hand winding flying tourbillon.
Functions: Flying Tourbillon at 12H,
Hours, minutes, seconds on Tourbillon,
Moonphase (Pusher at 2H) and Date at 6H
(Adjustion at 4H).
Case PVD Rosé Gold Plated, Black Cutout Dial
on caliber decorated w. Côtes de Genève.
Golden Indices and Hands with Superluminova

After I wrote about the collaboration of luxury watches and exotic cars, it hit me that I should write about motorcycles. And oh boy! I love Harley-Davidson! Everytime I’m driving on the road, my eyes would be looking out for Harleys! They are my dark wild horses! Give one to me and I ride them on the freeway! It’s all about freedom riding a Harley!

Ok, enough of my infatuation for Harley! I have to get my bike Class 2 license first though. Anyway, Bulova collaborate with Harley-Davidson and produce magnificent designs using self-winding movements with descriptions like “exhibition window” which refers to see-through case back. Although riding a Harley would complete me but wearing a Harley-Davidson Bulova timepiece will make me belong to the ride and time of my life! =)
