Hi there. Here i am again today bringing another time instrument / timepiece /watch if i may, to review on. The particular piece i have that is worthy of my review is the Cosmo King for gents by Titoni of Switzerland. A short insight, Titoni is a swiss watch brand which the company was founded in 1919 (Whoa talk about old). Anyway the model i have with me is the Cosmo King which i suppose is from between 1970 to 1980's, it has a 25 Jewels swiss automatic movement, Half gold tone , good quality and good quality again. For the size it has a "Boysize" (common term that refers to "small-sized gents watch" for vintage pieces. Yeah its small . Like most vintage watches you can remember from back in the days. The thing i like most about this piece is that is has superfine details from engravings to dial positioning etc etc. Another is how amazing that it still runs smoothly and not a single scratch on its glass display considering how many years this piece had lived since created. Oh yeah, pricing. What was told it costed at the range of $1000 to $2000 where im at (Brunei). Not sure about the retail price of today but i highly doubt this particular model is still available for sale first hand .yknow. cause of the newer models produced .come on its 2016 now .there are a lot of models or series produced eversince this one was out. But yeah to conclude what i have to say about this piece is that its quality is just amazing and beautifully crafted piece. I hope Titoni's new models up till today will have the same quality if not better. Here are a few shots i have of my particular piece.

Ancon X-35 concept
So I recently purchased an Ancon X-35 Concept timepiece in black with blue trimmings. Authentic piece of course.Otherwise no point bragging about it. Anyways, Retail price of the watch is around usd700 which in my case costed me $1000. It has a Miyota 21 jewels Engine or movement. The Case diameter is 45mm, pretty heavy and bulky piece but once you have it on your wrist you can barely feel the weight you once felt when it was on your hand so thats a good thing.the build quality, its definitely a solid piece Id say. The only thing about it is the glass, its sort of reflective or glary making it harder to read the time in certain lighting and condition. Design wise its great. It has a Sevenfriday P series-ish Dial or Face, and more of a Linde Wenderlin's case or housing. Basically It seems like a combination of the two well-known and admired great timepieces. Some may say copycat some may take I I how i take it, it compliments the designs of the two brands, just shows how their design inspires. Overall I love my new Ancon X -35 Concept. However, I feel like I want more.probably will get more, when cash flows all positive. Thank you for reading. Now I will share some photos of it

Alexandre Christie Brand #origin
So, I just recently bought another watch as an addition to my collection, this time it is a watch from the brand Alexandre Chistie. The model I purchased is a limited edition (supposedly) model number 3030 in Rose Gold. According to the number engraved on my specific unit is 0268 /1800, which indicates that the number of units for this model is 1800 In total. Cool. Supercool watch, impressive build quality and design too. Uses a Miyota automatic movement. Japan.
A lot of compliments were received and all, However people starts wondering where the brand is originated from. Even in the website itself they dont mention any country of origin for the brand. So I did some research just a brief one, i found one site that uhh.. lets say, give out relevant and adequate information as to answer the question. I'll provide a screenshot or screencapture of it down below, afterwards. But let me share what I found out. Okay so a lot of people started thinking it is indonesian brand but it is apparently not the case. It is said to have been registered by Massindo Hong Kong (HK) .

Anyways, I hope this information will be useful for anyone looking for the same information. And about the Products of this Brand? Well I cant say that every single one of the products or models will be the same because I dont know for sure because I only purchased one so far. But I can certainly say that this watch is great in terms of build quality and design, weighs just nice and doesnt feel cheap. Plus it uses a Miyota automatic movement which is one of Japan's well known movement in watchmaking. Hope that sums it up. Thanks for reading!
