Even though Dwyane Wade's choice of outfit is questionable, clearly, his taste in watches is not. He is seen here wearing an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore chronograph with a brown leather strap. Dwyane Wade's new Miami Heat teammate, LeBron James, also has a Royal Oak Offshore chronograph. Actually, LeBron has at least two, here he is seen with another version of the ROO.

Rolex Watch Winders

L1020238.jpg

Rolex released its own watch winders last year around Christmas. Of course, it appears, that Rolex never even announced this product with a press release, as there is only one site I could find with this product, and I could not find a single site with the press release (not surprising considering the Rolex press department's notoriously covert nature). According to Benjamin Clymer, Editor of Hondinkee, Rolex winders are made by Swiss Kubik. I was a little surprised to hear that they are not made in-house, especially considering that Rolex makes every piece of their watches in-house. That said, I've always good things about Swiss Kubik watch winders. The back of the winder is made of solid stainless steel, the front is made of very thick glass, the outside is decorated in Rolex's signature green, and overall this looks like a great automatic watch winder (other than the high price). These images (shown above and below) were taken by San Francisco vintage Rolex watch dealer who has a blog about Rolex and more here.

Retail $795

Phantom High Fidelity-1.jpg

Owner of Westime, Richard Mille distributor and now Buben & Zorweg distributor, John Simonian knows what high-end clients want. He is betting that Buben & Zorweg will do well in the United States market, and based on his past successes, chances are they will. Just take a look at the watch winder above. It has room for four timepieces, plus it has speakers to connect your iPod or IPhone, and best of all, it looks like something you would see at a Bang & Olufsen boutique. It'll be expensive, but at this level, clients expect the very best quality, with price being less important.
