Ladies '60s Vintage Benrus Watch with Alligator Grain Calfskin Strap - $75.00

Everyone needs a watch like this in their wardrobe.

This 1960s vintage Benrus comes very, very close to my idea of the perfect watch.

First is the maker. Along with Bulova, Hamilton, and Gruen, Benrus was one of the four premiere American watchmakers. This Benrus is an example of a high-quality, affordable watch made during the heyday of mechanical watches, just prior to the ruinous quartz invasion. T...

Approach of the Apostate Angel / Emanations from the Void Art Print - $7.95

Dante's map of Hell tapped into something deep within the collective unconscious of everyone who has been exposed to the idea of Divine Retribution.



Fixed in timeless space, burning in the deep cold of infinite ice fields, the Apostate Angel beats still strong wings in eternal defiance. Dante gave him no voice. Milton made him proud. Many have made him an anti-God in an anti-Heaven.

Ladies 1976 Seiko Automatic - Absolutely Gorgeous Vintage Watch - $45.00

I've said it before and I'll say it again; I love Seiko. Of all the watch brands in the whole wide world, Seiko is my overall favorite. Especially vintage Seiko.

I hate to sell this watch. Even though I'm a guy and would never wear it, I still hate to sell it. It's just a really beautiful watch. It's - dare I say it? - classic.



Before we get to the real praises of t...

Relive the Crazy 80s with this 1986 Guess Brand Watch - $15.00

Parachute Pants (I had seven pair!). Cindi Lauper. MTV. Neon Clothes. Miami Vice.

That was the 1980s.

Thank God it's over.

Actually, some things are worth remembering.

This 1986 vintage Guess? watch is one of those things, coincidentally.

Unmistakeably 80s, the white case and band and green and red dial and crown tell the world that you were a Material Girl and proud of it.

Vintage Political Pop-Punk from Cringer and Hopeful Monsters - 7inch w booklet - $16.00

You think Fall Out Boy and Blunk 182 are making serious statements with their "punk" rock, emo crappola?

Pshaw...

The only thing serious about bands of that ilk is the headache I get when I hear them.

Them boys ain't punk.

And, if you don't know and love Cringer, then you ain't punk, punk.

Because Cringer is Punk.

This is an original pressing of the 7in...

Vintage Mens 1970 Caravelle Wristwatch - The Epitome of Classic Cool - $160.00

Ok, I admit it. I'm a big fan of the word "classic". I use it all the time. Classic cars, classic movies, classic fashion, classic watches...

But, dang it, it's such an evocative word. How else do you convey that almost mystical sense of style, the mystery and romance of another era, and the deep seated desire to possess just a small piece of a lost time?

I say "classic"...

Ca. 1965 Ladies Vintage Dainiseikosha Watch - AKA, A beautiful old Seiko - $40.00

If I had to choose my all time, all-around favorite watch brand, it would be Seiko.

You can go into just about any department store and pick-up a brand-new Seiko for far less than $50.00. Or, you can spend thousands on their high-end, incredibly complex and well-made mechanicals.

Of all the watches I own, and I own a lot, a 1970s Seiko diver is my absolute favorite. I choose it over Omega, Longine...

Ladies Girard Perregaux Vintage Watch - Another Classic - $40.00

I'm a guy, but I love this watch.
It is the embodiment of what I think of when I think of style.
Clean, uncluttered, smooth lines, no bling. Just a classic dial in a classic case by a classic watchmaker.
Leave the bling to those who have something to compensate for. A classic, simple watch by a quality watchmaker shows that you understand good taste. A diamond-dripping Rolex shows you have n...

Ladies 1969 Timex Sport Watch - Sweet and Sexy - $45.00

Collectors and watch-snobs can say what they want about Timex; I love 'em.
Timexes invariably live up to their famous tagline, "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking".
Not only do even the oldest models seem to almost always keep working for decades, Timex (and Seiko and Bulova) made some uber-cool watches during the 1960s and 70s.
For pure style, they'll stand up to any...

Ladies Gorgeous Elgin Dress Watch from the 1960s - $75.00

I think it is a shame that ladies watches aren't more popular with collectors. On virtually every vintage watch site, you'll find page after page of men's watches but only a few, if any, for ladies.
Ladies watches from the 1970s and earlier have the same indefinable style that mens watches from the same era possess. Something about vintage watch designs just screams "cool".

The Far Shore / Across a Sea of Stars Art Print The Beyond in Brilliant Color - $30.00

In time, every single one of us will push off from the moorings of life and set off across the trackless gulf of death.
Each of us has an idea of what or what will not exist beyond that mysterious frontier, but we must admit that, until we've seen it for ourselves, we can't really and truly know.
Judgement, swift and uncompassionate, the bliss of eternity among loved ones who have gone ahead,...

Emanations from the Void - Multiskele Kromatika in the Dark Wood of Bewilderness - $37.50

Now, you can peer into the Void from the safety of your own home.

The Multiskele Kromatika is the physical approximate of the Downward Passage of the Oriental Cardinal, Delirium*.

A favored icon of the Schwarzmond Sect belonging to the group of Void Theists known as Animacl...

Oh, Smurf - Smurf up this Smurfing Smurf Watch Before it Smurfs away - $46.00

I suppose the Smurfs are cute and all, but the whole smurf-talk thing gets real old, real fast. Also, you can never really tell if they're cursing or slipping in some pretty dirty double-entredre when they smurf-off about stuff.

All that aside, this is one smurfing Smurf watch. It's the one all everyone wants. Except me.

I'll trade it to you for a small amount of U.S. Legal Tender.

ELVIS LIVES - Set of Three Vintage 1977 Elvis Presley Iron-ons - $18.00

If you don't like Elvis, you're either dead or a communist. And I'd be willing to wager that most communists like The King.

Now, you can proclaim your love for this humble southern boy made good. Really, really, really, really good.

Whether you visit Graceland every year on the anniversary of Elvis' "death", or believe he's chillin' on a far off tropical island with J...

Classic Ladies Hamilton Watch - Simple, Elegant, Essential - $109.00

Some watchmakers - heck, a lot of watchmakers - try so hard to create classic, well-made watches that they completely over do it.

The market is flooded with watches in bold colors, watches with buttons and knobs sticking out every which way, watches with bezels that turn, lights that blink, speakers, altimeters, depth-gauges, pollution meters, Geiger counters, and on and on and on...

The Fallen Halo - Perfect for Punks or Perhaps Premieres or Private Parties - $24.00

Let's face it, no matter how hard we strive to be, none of us are saints. Sometimes our halo slips just a little.
Now, you can be sure it doesn't fall too far with this unique necklace.
Made of richly tinted glass beads of various colours and pewter rays, it also has two vintage pre-WWII Czech glass beads flanking the centered, longest ray. Strung on high-strength memory wire with a s...

The Rubaiyat of A Bachelor - An Art Deco Battle of the Sexes in Verse - $50.00

Helen Rowland parodies the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam in this wonderful little book, The Rubaiyat of a Bachelor.
Written in charming verse, she tickles the reader's funnybone with her tale of the pitfalls, practicalities, and promises inherent to the life of a damsel waiting to tie the knot with her errant man-about-town.
Witty, erudite, and surprisingly fluid, the text makes perfect reading for a...

Retro Cool - Mens Lord Elgin 1950s Chunky Wristwatch - $205.00

Everyone who knows watches knows Elgin. Back in their heyday, before the name was bought by a - ahem - less consistent watch firm, the Elgin name meant quality, style and durability.

In fact, I own an Elgin Sportsman from the 1950s that I wear virtually all day everyday. It's a 60 year old watch, and it's still going strong.

That's Elgin.

However, I only recently came to know Lord...

Calling Mickey Mouse an icon is like calling a Gutenberg Bible* a nice old book.
Mickey Mouse is an icon, and a Gutenberg bible is a nice old book. But, they are both so much more.

Practically, from the day he first appeared on screen as Steamboat Willie, Mr. Mouse established himself as a star that burned brighter even than those of the Beatles and Elvis. And, that�s bright indeed. Wha...

Great! Have I got a deal for you!
