About the Watchmeister

 The Watchmeister watches watches!

What you are about to read is true. No names are used innocent or guilty. I am merely presenting the facts! Why does the Watchmeister watch watches, and why does he collect them, this is his story!

About 15 or so years ago, when my late father retired, he decided he needed another hobby to keep himself busy besides just his stamp collection and everything else he did. Well, in Rosemont Illinois, they have what is called the Stephens Convention Center, and about twice a year, they have a huge jewelry show there, You can find real or fake diamonds, cheap necklaces, bracelets and watches. Thousands of watches, most of them being brands that no one had ever heard of, but they worked, they were extremely cheap, and there was a ton of variety, from blah to bling and all in between! It was there that my father got the idea for his new hobby, watch and tiny clock collecting. So he started buying about a dozen or so watches every six months, they rarely if ever cost him more than maybe a hundred bucks together. He then took his new goodies home, put them in different colored boxes with padding inside, rubber banded the boxes closed, and stacked them on his nightstand so he could change watches every day, which he did. There were a few very unique watches that he bought there, one was an outline of the pooch we had ticking around every second. And he also bought two of the same watch, one for himself and one for me. It had a second hand that was a tiny train going around the middle of the watch. There was a button that when pressed turned on a recording chip inside the watch that started to play train sounds through a little speaker on the back of the watch. This was mild bling. But he enjoyed shopping for the different watches every six months. After about 5 years and maybe 200 watches, his excitement of his new hobby palled, he started giving away the little clocks and some of the watches, but not all. The remaining I would say, fifty watches, became the core of my collection that I now have. A lot of my dad’s watches needed bands and batteries which I took care of. But as I looked at each watch as I took them out of their different colored boxes, I studied them. A lot of watches are unique, and some brands are better than others. The prices on watches also vary, from about $2.00 to a Rolls Royce priced watch. That core of watches that I inherited from my dad is still a part of what has now grown to a collection of about 400 watches, of all shapes, sizes, brands and types. All of which I studied and all of which allowed me to take the title of Watchmeister. I’m sure that there are many other people out there with collections twice the size of mine, But they are not the Watchmeister. And in closing here, let me also say this. I myself, did go to www.KenmarWatches.com and make my purchases. My first purchase from there was about $900.00 worth of watches. But guess what? I am still the Watchmeister whom you must heed, for not only do I watch watches, I purchase them as well. After all, how else can the Watchmeister stay the Watchmeister?

Timex

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

TimexThe Watchmeister watches watches! What you are looking at is a Timex watch. The Watchmeister is showing his age by saying that he still remembers the days of the Timex television commercial where John Cameron Swayze would say those immortal words; “Times Watches, they take a licking and keep on ticking!” And oddly enough, they did. Timex has come a long way in their watches since those days. Back then, every watch was analog, with an hour hand, a minute hand, a sweep second hand, and maybe a date. Those watches had no batteries, they ran by a spring inside them that had to be wound every day by the watch “crown”. The watch you are looking at here, a Timex Expedition Perpetual Calendar watch has stuff in it that no one ever even heard about when Timex started making watches. It has a black analog dial with Indiglo, the night light for Timex and a few other watch brands. The hands glow in the dark as well. This one has a black leather strap instead of a stainless steel bracelet band. It is also water resistant to about 50 feet. Timex has been making watches for many years. SO, when YOU go to www.KenmarWatches.com to buy YOUR new Timex, not only do you have a lot of different styles and models to select from, you can be sure that it also will be around for a long time. Since few watches now days tick, you can’t say that it takes a licking and keeps on ticking. The new slogan might be something like, “One of your Timex perks is that  it always works!”

Accutron

Accutron The Watchmeister watches watches!

The Accutron watch! Owned by another well known watch company that has been around a long long time, that is Bulova. The old TV ads said “Accutron BY Bulova!”  The Accutron watch by Bulova, has a very interesting history behind it. When it was first introduced, the Accutron was one of the most accurate watches in the world, So it was called Accutron for accurate Electronic. This watch had a funny way of staying accurate, it used a tuning fork system to keep it right on time. I have no idea how a gadget made to tune musical instruments could be used to keep a watch accurate, but somehow Bulova figured out a way to do it. A good thing that they figured it out. The Watchmeister may be pretty good and pretty smart but even he could not have thought this system up. What you are looking at is a mens chronograph watch called the Courchevel. I didn’t name it and I’m not even sure how to pronounce it. But what you get is the tuning fork accuracy in everything that a chronograph watch does, keep time, stopwatch, alarm, all that good stuff. What do you get in this watch? Funny you should ask, I will tell you. A white Mother of Pearl dial, white luminous hands, a domed sapphire crystal, which makes it pretty tough. It has a stainless steel case and bracelet type watch band. In the olden days, watch bands were not stainless steel, so after washing your hands with the watch on for a few weeks, it would start to rust!  Yuck, who wants a rusty wrist except maybe the tin man in the Wizard of Oz! The watch is also water resistant to about 100 feet. Now I know what you are asking yourself, where in the world can I get such a beautiful efficient watch? I will tell you, go to www.KenmarWatches.com and there you will find it, along with a ton of other watch styles and brands. The more you know about watches, the easier it is to find what you like, where to get it, and better yet, where to buy it without overpaying! Kenmar Watches IS the place. So, I say to you now, Heed the Watchmeister, he watches watches.

Why Kenmar Watches Rocks!

Friday, October 26th, 2007

 The Watchmeister watches watches!

I am going to ask you a question. Why in the world should you shop at www.KenmarWatches.com?  The Watchmeister who watches watches will tell you why. They are impossible to beat in anything! Find a lower price, Kenmar will beat it. Go to the web site, choose your watch by style, brand, price, and photo. You say that the quoted price on the watch you want is to high? Make a reasonable offer for that watch and you might just get it at the lower price. Buy multiple watches, get a break on the shipping and handling. The main reason to buy at Kenmar is choice. No one carries the variety that Kenmar does. You will not find as many brands or styles anywhere else. And if there are other watch stores that will actually allow you to haggle a bit over the price, it is a definite rarity. Kenmar will help you by phone if you need it. They guarantee 100% customer satisfaction in more ways than one. A fair price, a no hassle return policy, plus when you go to their web site, you will find one full page and part of another loaded with the logo’s of the watch companies they sell for, and there are a LOT of them. I believe that they carry just over 150 brands of watches. That is a LOT of choices. With Kenmar, you don’t have to just settle for any old timepiece, you can get what you want and will be happy with, not just a mere watch. You are making an investment. I, as the Watchmeister, happen to collect watches. I personally own over 400 watches, so I know what of I speak. Quite a few of my watches are from Kenmar, and the reason is that even after diligent searching, I could not find a lower price on the watches I wanted. And even the Watchmeister will continue to make investments in timepieces. And I can tell you right now, I will be going to www.KenmarWatches.com when I am ready to add to my collection. I may stop at a thousand watches. And it will definitely be Kenmar that will help me reach that goal.

Choosing the Right Watch

Friday, October 26th, 2007

 The Watchmeister watches watches!

Shopping for a watch can be difficult. Choices up the wall. The big choice is analog or digital. Well, I always say, when you are looking for a watch, always buy two, one dressy and one casual for every day. Now, here is where the choices get easier. It is extremely difficult to make a digital watch look dressy. When you consider that there is a digital watch series out there with the name mudman!  Would you think a watch with a name like that could possibly be dressy? I don’t think so. This is how you can make up your mind, analog for dressy, digital for casual, it is that easy!  Either type of watch can come with a bracelet band or a leather or fabric band. Dressy sort of leans to a leather watch band, while casual usually goes stainless steel. Although either is acceptable. Now, where do you go for the best and widest selection of both analog and digital? That is a no brainer, www.KenmarWatches.com.  The variety there will give you more choices than anywhere else. From the most unique casual to the most conservative of dressy, they have it all. In fact, they even make watch buying easier for you. If you see a watch that you really like, but are a tad short of the asking price, if you make a reasonable offer, it may very well be accepted! And if you buy multiple watches, they will work with you on shipping and handling. Watch buying does not have to be difficult, you will have in your mind a picture of what you want your watch(es) to look like, match the picture in your mind with the stock at Kenmar and you are home free! Now, depending on how much you want to invest in a timepiece, and a good watch can be an investment. You will want the watch to last!  But remember, the casual watch will see a lot more use than a dressy watch. Unless you go out to fancy places every night in which case the reverse is true. Save yourself a lot of grief, invest in several watches, both dressy and casual. That way you don’t have to worry about excessive wear and tear on just two. So I say to you, go to Kenmar Watches and choose wisely and choose well, the wrist you save from an uncomfortable watch band will be yours!

Are you a chronic traveler? Are you sent hither and yon for work? Do you travel all over the country to stay in all the time share places you have? And when you get to where you are going do you wonder what in the world the time is where you are? You did so much chasing around your body is in one place, and your sense of time is back home. And believe the Watchmeister, not knowing what time it is can be scary, and sometimes even dangerous! I don’t say that to scare you but if you have medications to be taken at a certain time, or if you have an important appointment or a phone call you need to make, not knowing the time can farble up your entire day! You may not even know what time to go to bed! Throw in the jet lag and your system is so fouled up it could take a week to get back to normal. Well, I have a solution to that, and it is an easy one, you simply go on line, go to www.KenmarWatches.com, and key in dual time. The next thing you know you are looking at a ton of not only dual time watches, but world time watches as well. You can know the time anywhere you go! No confusion, no body system meltdown, no missing meds or phone calls. The time where you are is right there on your wrist. There are several benefits to getting your multi time watch from Kenmar, they carry mens and ladies watches, if you don’t like the quoted price you can make a reasonable offer to get it at a lower  cost and if you buy multiple watches, they will work with you on shipping costs. What could be better? I usually advise getting at least two watches, one dressy and one casual. If you are a business traveler, and you are taking your best client out to dinner, you don’t want them to see you with a cheap casual watch on your wrist, that is so passe! So solve your time travel problems at Kenmar, it is a win win choice.

Hey, Mr. Executive, you know  you have at least four appointments today, your secretary is out with the flu and the secretarial pool couldn’t send anyone up to help you for the day. What are you going to do so that you and your office are ready for your appointments to show up? Not a problem for you Mr. Executive, you were on line last week and you ordered a five alarm setting digital watch from www.kenmarwatches.com. You just have to pre set each alarm setting to fifteen minutes prior to each appointment, get the information for each client ready on your desk and you are good to go! You know your timing on getting this beauty of a watch was just in time. Who knew that your secretary would get the flu on the one day that you have multiple appointments? This watch is great, stainless steel bracelet style band, a back light so you can see the time at night, even an hourly chime to remind you of the time every hour on the hour. And the price! You never thought you could get this fine a watch for so little money! And that thought reminded you. You take out your weekly planner and make yourself a note. Go on line tonight to the Kenmar watch site and order that fancy dress watch you had seen before on there. Your trip to New York will be next week and that dress watch will go perfectly with your suits.

Hate Being Late?

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

Watchmeister watches watches!

Hey, are you a person who absolutely hates being late for anything? You start to get ready to go somewhere two hours earlier than you need to? You race around the house getting ready to leave. You sit in the car fretting at slow moving traffic and turtle drivers. How would you like to make sure you are never late for anything? I know watches. I collect them, I look at what they can do. I see the features, I see the benefits of the features. Would you believe that you can get a watch that will never lose more than one second maybe every thousand years or so? Now, here you can actually be just cool, or cool and green. I am talking about atomic time! These come in straight battery, or solar. Let the sun keep you on time,  and this is much more accurate than a sundial, not to mention a lot smaller. Would you want to walk around with a bunch of shaped rocks on your wrist? I don’t think so. Each type of atomic watch can be set for the city or the time zone you live in. They come in so many colors and styles, you will go crazy trying to pick the ones you want. These watches have itty bitty radio receivers in them that pick up the time from the atomic clock in Colorado. This is an awesome gadget. But, a useful one. Now, the biggest brand with the biggest choice of this kind of watch is Casio. Now earlier I said they come in so big a variety that you will go crazy trying to pick out the ones you want? I know a place with prices low enough where you don’t have to be picky, you have a choice of almost as many as you want. This place is Kenmar watches.Low prices, great service, and you can sometimes make an offer and get what you want. Also, if you do order several watches, they will work with you on shipping. All I can tell  you now is check their web site, order a few Casio atomic watches, and never be late ever again!

Collector of Watches

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

Watchmeister watches watches!

I like to collect watches.I have all kinds, all brands analog, digital, combinations, you name it. I do like to watch watches, the more unique, the better I like it. I also like to be green. I use a lot of solar lights outside my home and also on my wrist. With a battery that is recharged by the sun, there is nothing to be thrown away in a few years and wind up in a landfill. But I’m not going to talk solar right now, that will be in a later blog. I am talking kinetic watches, self winders that recharge every time you move your arm, or wrist. Now this is a great idea! People who work out a lot are usually health nuts and health nuts are usually ecology nuts as well. For some odd reason, they got the nickname of tree huggers. Well, if they are hugging a tree with a kinetic watch on, they are also rewinding it! Cool huh? Go green with an impressive watch. The most popular brand with the largest variety of kinetics is Citizen. And to get a Citizen watch at a great price with a LARGE selection, I found Kenmar Watches. I have bought at least a dozen or so watches from them over the past few years, and my problem is that I like to shop things to death. I don’t ever want to spend more than I have to. At Kenmar, I don’t. What is also unique about them is the fact that if you don’t like the advertised price on a watch, they invite you to make an offer, within reason of course. I mean, you won’t get a $200.00  watch for $10.00. And if you order multiple watches at one time, they will also work with you on the shipping costs. So go out, be green, go kinetic, go to Kenmar. Check their web site and you will be blown away.
