Keeping Watch
David Mermelstein, CEO, The Croton Watch Company
 
Welcome to the first issue of our newsletter. It has been an exciting year – full of travel and new watch ideas for me – and full of growth for The Croton Watch Company. From Switzerland to Italy, Bangkok to Israel and beyond, I have been scouring the international runways and markets, looking for new trends and the finest fabrics, metals and materials to use in our watches.

If you are new to The Croton Watch Company, we welcome you and look forward to telling you more about our company and our new product lines. If you are a loyal customer, we thank you for your continued patronage. And to all – I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you for getting to know us! As always, my door remains open to you.
     
    Yours,

David Mermelstein
 

 
 
Styles To Watch:
 
Honey Comb
 


Summer may be gone, but here at Croton our creative “juices” are flowing and the fun is about to begin. November is bringing so many wonderful watches that I had a hard time choosing which to review for you. I know we are entering that glistening time of year, so I think we will start with a Sparkling Explosion…

...Of diamonds that is. Croton is the diamond lovers’ watch company and we have a new “amour” to be adored. Our sophisticated and unique looking lady’s watch has diamonds arranged in a honey comb pattern with genuine mother of pearl inserts on the dial protected by a sapphire crystal.

Diamonds continue around the bezel, on the lugs and down the link bracelet for a total diamond weight of over one carat and make this beauty with a Swiss movement a must for your wrist. Available in Stainless, gold and rose tone finish.
 
 
 
Tonneau Watch
 



So much love, so much beauty, so much time. We create something special with each new sparkling lady’s watch.

Set with a double row of diamonds, the curved tonneau case surrounds the sapphire crystal covered genuine mother of pearl and diamond encrusted dial. Ten diamonds mark the time and a tonneau shaped sub-dial ticks off the seconds. Diamonds continue down the bracelet links which will grace your wrist with classic, yet extraordinary style.


The total diamond weight is 1.28 carats. This gorgeous solid stainless steel watch has a Swiss movement and deployant butterfly clasp and is also available in gold and rose tone finish.
 
 
 
Zebra Watch  
     
Don’t worry men, we haven’t forgotten you.  Black and white or white and black?  Its all diamonds in the new release from Croton’s Super C series…the Super C – Zebra! Striking and unusual describes the look of this great watch.    The Super C- Zebra Limited Edition’s dial boasts 11 circular rows of diamonds (six white and five black) for a total diamond weight of approximately 2.50 carats.  At the 12 o’clock position we have the day, and the date can be viewed by the 3.  The luminous hour, minute and second hands sweep around this field of jewels protected by a sapphire crystal and encircled by the unidirectional ratchet bezel.

A 48mm 316L stainless steel case with screw down lock crown houses the Swiss ETA 2834 automatic movement which is water resistant to 30 ATM (1,000 FT).  The integrated and tapered stainless steel bracelet has sleek black rubber inserts down the center, a Super C original feature, and securely closes with a safety diver’s clasp.  Super C- Zebra – A standout amongst the herd!!
 
 
 
Wood Watch
         


The fall season brings us trees of many colors, and Croton has done the same with our new stainless steel and wood Swiss Automatic: A striking and elegant timepiece.

A Sapphire crystal reveals the beauty of the inlaid wood dial with luminous hands, applied markers and an offset date at the 4 o’clock position. The case presents an exhibition back, screw down lock crown and is water resistant to 20 ATM (600FT).


It is obvious that the stainless steel bracelet is in beautiful crisp contrast to the genuine oak wood inserts running down the center links, ending with a double deployant clasp. This vibrant sporty and dressy watch is available with dark brown, mahogany or light oak wood,
and like all Croton watches, is covered by our limited lifetime warranty.
 
 
 

 
Thank You for reading the first issue of our newsletter, THE CROTON CHRONICLE. We look forward to bringing you good news, great watches and useful (or at least fun) information!

This has been such an exciting year for us in every way. First, is our new design team. Young and energetic, this group of technically experienced and artistically adept talent will be taking us in new and exciting directions. In addition to the special and unique watches we are showcasing this fall, we are bringing back our vintage collection. With a little time travel to the late 1800’s and early twentieth century, we are carefully choosing our favorite Croton’s and updating the look while keeping the feel for a re-introduction of some fabulous timepieces. Croton is surely The Watch To Watch.

The second most exciting venture has been our website. It was hard work, but we finally went online at the beginning of the year and I must say thanks to all of you for the support, good wishes, and interesting comments! I will try my best to keep the website fresh and special so that you have an enjoyable experience navigating through all we bring to you.

Please remember that your feedback is important to us, so drop me a line with any questions or comments and I promise to respond. Croton is proud of our extended family, and that means YOU!

Well, that’s it for now and until the next edition of the Croton Chronicle.
     
    Sincerely,

The Croton Chronicler
