I’m currently on a plane.  I have a bunch of watch related posts to write, but technology is the first thing on my mind right now. I showed up to my local Apple Store at 5am on the day the first iPhone launched, proudly jettisoned my Blackberry, and marveled at the groundbreaking device.  However, after a while I grew frustrated […]

I haven’t written a Tech Tuesday post in a while (or any post for that matter. sorry).  With a couple hours left, I thought I’d jot down something I’ve been thinking of quite a bit. I love Foursquare.  To me, it is perhaps the coolest mobile app – the true future of mobile.  However, at present I have found almost […]

I found this to be an incredibly entertaining read.  It even manages to be relevant, I think, to both watches and technology although in a roundabout way. A New THEORY of AWESOMENESS and MIRACLES

Particularly helpful in any international business such as the watch industry, we are seeing all sorts of new services that allow for remote collaboration.  My favorite of these is Google Docs.  It is basically a productivity suite, comparable to MS Office, where everything is stored in the cloud including the “programs” themselves.  So, with nothing more than web browsers, users […]

A lot of people really enjoyed the video I posted explaining how a mechanical watch works. Here is a great video on how a quartz watch works.

Not going to be able to write a full post today.  It is the last day of SIAR.  Show has been great so far, hopefully I’ll be able to write a post on it tomorrow. In the meantime, check out this really cool video on the making of the effects in Blade Runner.  A neat look back to the time […]

Companies have been trying to build tablet computers for years.  I remember playing with an Apple Newton nearly 20 years ago and thinking it was the future.  Finally, with the tremendous success of the iPad, it looks like tablets are here to stay. Yesterday, RIM unveiled their Playbook.  Luckily for RIM, it looks like a worthy alternative.  In addition, multiple […]

The ability for internet content to “go viral” is one of the most powerful marketing tools ever.  Indeed it is like a marketing atomic bomb. While it is difficult to achieve a truly viral effect with a watch that appeals to such a small percentage of people, we do see network effects with our releases.  For example, we create our […]

For those of you who like to read on your mobile devices, I have created a mobile version of the site. You will automatically go to it if you visit the site from a mobile browser. If you prefer the full version, it is easy to switch back at the bottom. Let me know if you like it, dislike it, […]

It’s Tech Tuesday again on TickTocking!  (I wish alliteration started with a T) Yesterday Google released a new project called The Wilderness Downtown.  It is essentially a choreographed, interactive, personalized music video done in collaboration with Arcade Fire designed to showcase the capabilities of the modern browser.  If you haven’t seen it yet, you should definitely take a look.  Make sure you […]
