Rpaige: A New Lease On Life For Magnificent Movements

Rpaige: A New Lease On Life For Magnificent Movements

News
It's difficult to pinpoint what is the highlight of the career of Richard Paige. He founded several watch stores, as well as Timezone.com, and he is a fourth generation watchmaker. Passion for watches runs deep with him, and that is making his current venture even more unique. First, we need to get back into time. In the late 1890's up until the early 1930's the pocket watch movement was in its prime, despite going those last decades through a significant decline in sales. The movements were perfected, robust, reliable, and utterly beautiful because in those days decorations mattered.

The Cherwell by Marloe Watches

The Cherwell by Marloe Watches

News
Thanks to the crowdfunding, and especially Kickstarter, we see the birth of more and more brands offering products made of good quality and at a very affordable price. Some offer nothing new, especially in terms of design, but we must nevertheless congratulate the creators for their commitment and their nerve to embark on an already crowded market. Other projects are simply very successful and are funded very quickly. What sets these brands apart from the "normal" watchmaking market is their true freedom in creation, in design, materials choices,...etc. In these projects, you can easily find anything you want or desire to embellish your wrist: from watches made out of old cars, to ultra thin minimalist timepieces, watches made out of wood or even smartwatches that bear in their heart the…
