Glycine
Here at TimeScape, when we present a brand with a dedicated aesthetic or philosophy, we don't assume it will grace every wrist. Procrustes we ain't. With their slim cases, spartan dials, and ongoing attachment to a particular moment in the history of jet age elegance, Glycine watches don't always appeal to the masses. But for the enthusiast seeking a particular idea of quality, it might be the perfect fit.
Caring for Your Watch
Here at TimeScapeUSA, we make money when you spend money on caring for your watch. Let's not prance about pretending to be altruists, and God Bless America while we're at it for the free market that allows us to charge a fair price for goods and services. But after the Platinum Card has changed hands and we've sent you off with watch, box, and papers, what then? Or alternately: maybe Santa was too busy to give you a primer on your new present? It's easy to fall in love, but from the first day there's a certain amount of maintenance involved. Though it acts against our interests, once again we are here to help. By following a few simple hints, the life of your watch can be extended – if not indefinitely, at least until such a time as you pass it on to one of your more appreciative heirs. The frightening alternative is headache, heartache, and more money for us – specifically more money for me, your humble watchmaker.
About Graham Watches
Graham is a line that not many people in the States are acquainted with. It's a brand full of cloak and dagger, the delights of European hubris, and exotic space-age materials, and worth getting to know for the enthusiast of contemporary watchmaking with flair. George Graham was an 18th century English watchmaker working in London with curious inventions and is the inspiration behind the brand of Graham. The Graham Watch website claims he invented the chronograph – and it's an understatement to say that claim is hotly contested.
Successful #REDBARMSP Event
Amazing event, thanks to all who came to the #REDBARMSP monthly get-together here at TimeScapeUSA. There was some exceptional pieces shared such as an A. Lange & Sohne, Ulysse Nardin's Trilogy Set, and the Sonata Cathedral, along with a DOXA and Nomos with plenty of Omega's and lots of Rolex's to be had.
About Ulysse Nardin
Studying to be a watchmaker means reconciling a model of perfection with the practical world. There's a lot of room for personal failure this I know this as I was a technician for Ulysse Nardin at their service platform in Boca Raton for four years. UN is a Swiss watch company based on the border with France in Le Locle, and for the last 25 years they've continued to raise the stakes in the poker game that is ambitious horological complications. After a week at the bench I realized two years of vocational instruction had given me just enough of a footing to really screw things up, which I did for three months until I was sent off to Le Locle for my first round of brand training.Straps and Bracelets
Some say a Gentleman knows nothing about the grade of oil in his car's engine, as such information is the purview of his mechanic. Similarly, unless about to barter one's hair for a platinum chain (and so engender a tragicomic morality tale) how often should the means of securing a watch to one's person be of issue? At TimeScapeUSA we say: Often! The architects of horological style have a say over the appearance of case, dial, hands, and bezel – but for the true watch enthusiast, selecting a strap or bracelet can be a real joy. It's the intimate interface between him or her and that treasured timepiece and a recess of personalization.
How to Buy a Watch, Part 2: The Right Watch for You
Let us assume you have reflected on the styles of watch available, the brands on offer, the functions you desire, and that one special piece has caught your fancy. It's easy to fall in love with a fine timepiece, but your friends at TimeScapeUSA are pleased to play escort and keep you from missteps owing to the irrational exuberance.
Questions of price are outside the range of our inquiry. Some buy watches as an investment, but this is an arena best left to experts where ignorance is especially costly. The question of value is similarly fraught, though the wilds of the Internet are thick with opinion. Our advice: purchase the watch that appeals to you, if you can afford it, after testing it against the following criteria.
