The E-Ink watch
This e-Ink watch shows time in either digital/analog combined or digital-only mode. While it works in the combined mode, an analog dial is shown at the top which represents the hour, whereas the minute is shown at the bottom. While it’s in digital mode, it’ll show numerical hour at the top and the minutes beneath.
Using the same electronic paper technology employed for modern eBooks, this is the watch creates the illusion of the time having been inked onto a piece of parchment. The electrophoretic display consists of millions of microcapsules (only the diameter of a human hair) containing particles suspended in a liquid medium.
When the microcapsules are positively and negatively charged, they either rise to the surface or fall to the bottom within liquid medium, making the display appear white or black at any given point for an easy-to-read, high-constrast display.
The time can be displayed with the numerical hour at the top of the display and the minutes beneath or as an analog dial on top with the minutes beneath (12-hour display only)–the display can also be reversed (white on black background). It is water-resistant down to 165′. The curved stainless steel case secures to a stainless steel band that accommodates wrists 9″ in circumference.

RESCO Patriot

WIS (watch idiot savants) like to hold long and protracted arguments over what constitutes a tool watch. R.E. Smith went a different direction. He started RESCO and built the tool watch he wanted…The Patriot. As a Navy SEAL instructor and former SEAL Team member he had an exacting vision of a watch that could fit his needs. RESCO’s first offering, the Patriot, will soon hit the market. Based around a automatic Slava S-2427 movement (the Iron Curtain irony is not lost on R.E.) it has a custom 42mm stainless case developed in conjunction with Lum-Tec. The Patriot has a host of other features you’d expect from a high end sport watch including:
- 200m Water Resistance
- 60 click unidirectional rotating bezel with 12hr GMT feature
- PVD and Bead Blasted Stainless cases
The Patriot is a blunt watch. Its made to provide a rugged watch that will tell you the (right) time no matter the situation, and maybe look decent in the process. By all accounts its succeeding, a prototype has made it through all Phases of SEAL training, and continues to perform in advanced training.
