Let's be real, the 2nd annual cartier santos 100 mens w20073x8 watch Hodinkee birthday week is pretty amazing, is it not?Starting a watch company these days seems to be something a lot people are interested in doing. Hell, we get emails and calls from new up-start brands every single week, but we do our best to only feature those that are worth your time. The thing is, a large percentage of these companies use the same case, dial, hand, strap, and box suppliers, so we end up cartier santos 100 mens w20073x8 watch seeing many watches that, despite different names on the dial, are really very, very similar. To see a new watch company that uses NONE of the same suppliers as all these other brands we know, AND attacks production from a unique and stylish (as opposed to utilitarian) standpoint, while keeping the price point right where it should be, we get excited. Enter XETUM, a San Francisco based watch company that is doing something we didn't think we'd see for quite a while; produce a great looking and totally unique (no "homage" here!)
Xetum is probably the hottest new watch company to come out in the last year. We reviewed their top of the line Tyndall and loved it. Unique and modest case design, Swiss made movement, unique cork-backed leather strap with deployant clasp and a dose of social conciousness all for a modest price? You can't beat it!Today, cartier santos 100 mens w20073x8 watch Xetum has been gracious enough to donate a black dial Stinson model. The Stinson features an even more understated dial configuration that uses a sweep seconds instead of a subsidiary register like on the Tyndall. Inside the Stinson is the classic ETA 2824 Swiss automatic movement with 38 hour power reserve. There is super luminova on the big numbers for a great glow, and it cartier santos 100 mens w20073x8 watch features an exhibition back with engraved XETUM rotor.This thing is absolutely beautiful, and we're honored to present this opportunity to win a Xetum Stinson to you guys. You know the drill, leave those comments below and be sure to let us know what you think of this watch. Retail on the Stinson is just under $1000.
