Cool new blog by a very cool watch guy in Pittsburgh. I met this guy at the Glashuette watch trip during which time we hoisted quite a few beers. Best of all? He’s go exclusive pics of the new Kobold creation, the SMG-1.

From AudioMonger.com - Those who praise The Books’ studio albums have really only experienced half of what the duo of Nick Zammuto and Paul de Jong have to offer. That the band originally had no intentions of touring is the great irony of their live performance; a live perormance which is more engaging and compelling than anything else coming through your town this spring.

From AudioMonger.com - Oh, England. Your purest, most exportable products are so snarky and they confuse us here in a land where our artists “remember the old arcade” where they “blew every dollar [they] ever made” and Haley looks so cute on the swing, but fuck if her mom doesn’t suck.

So what do we have here? A new Streets album? You’re not trying to trick us again, like you did with the Darkness? This stuff is cool, right? England?

A great look at regulating mechanicals by ARA Master Watchmakers, creators of the Famous Silicone Strap (TM) (R) (C) etc.

Before we send a watch to a customer, we make sure it is properly regulated. Below, we will show how we regulate an eta 2824-2 movement which is found in our ARA dive watches. A watch should be regulated in three important positions: Crown Down, Dial Up and 12′Oclock Down. The fact that the eta 2824-2 has a very high beat, the accuracy can be guaranteed if regulated closely in these three positions. The higher the beat, the more accurate a watch is so it is not necessary to regulate in any more positions.
