Shinola Wright Brothers Limited Edition (Ref. S0100052)

Can you imagine a shoe polish company turning into a watchmaker that sells its "Built in Detroit" quartz-powered watches for $500-$1000? Well, Shinola, previously a maker of "America's Largest-Selling Shoe Polish", is just that company.

This year, the company introduces Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Ultra Thin 1931 (ref. Q2782560) that features a slightly different, but even more historically correct dial.

Homage to Rolex 6200? Steinhart Ocean One Vintage

Steinhart Ocean One Vintage automatic watch review

For a business entity, which is essentially a one-man show, Steinhart is surprisingly prolific. Although most of their watches are so-called "homages" and "tributes", there is a lot of them. Starting from "divers" to "pilots" and going all the way to sporty chronographs, the brand offers you plenty to choose from.

This self-winding Ocean One Vintage, for example, is designed for the kind of people that are longing for a historic Rolex (or, perhaps, even a re-issue of a historic Tudor,) but either can't afford one or plain don't want to bother sifting through the thousands of "pre-loved" models with a questionable history.

Among the first shells to blast the ground near you is their new Panerai Luminor 1950 Left-Handed 3 Days (PAM 557). Equipped with their in-house hand-wound caliber, the watch is designed for that strange sort of people that strum the guitar with their lefts and wear their watches on their rights.
