Franchi Menotti, very rare, very Italian. This fashion brand is not widely known outside Italy, where it has a reputation for coming up with only one or two product lines each year, and not continuing to sell the models from previous years. Since only a few hundred watches are produced each year, they are rare items indeed. Rufus Lin Designs carries only the 1926 series from Franchi Menotti, which is a line of unusual, square timepieces with a gorgeous luxury finish. Each watch is delivered in a glossy black, luxury box.
BOTTA DESIGN has introduced a new product line: the "Black Edition".
"UNO 24" Black Edition US$450-
HELIOS-plus Black Edition US$650-
SOLUS Black Edition US$650- "UNO" Automatic Black Edition US$940-

In Europe
and Canada, automobile speedometers are in the metric system, speed
being measured in km/h. But in the USA, it's mph, so Bavarian Crono has
now started to issue selected models of their Beetle speedometer
watches in MPH as well as km/h. For the first MPH model, we are pleased
to introduce the Beetle 1960 MPH version (US$240), a perfectly
miniaturized speedometer that is really a fine watch, made in Germany,
of course! Click on the photograph for details.
The ultimate blue watch
Arctos GPW Ocean $1,340
Here's
a rare timepiece from Arctos Prazisionuhren of Germany. Made from a
rich blue ceramic, sapphire glass and a fancy blue silicon strap, this
mechanical watch is probably the only one on the market that has this
much blue in it! Exceptionally stylish, this new product from a well
known military watch specialist is a most pleasant surprise, and will
no doubt inspire positive comments whenever you wear it.
