DESCRIPTION________________________________________________________________

A wrist watch is a watch that is made to be strapped to the wrist. They were the most

uncommon type of watch from their development in the 16th century until wristwatches became

popular after World War I during which a transitional design, trench watches, were used by the

military. Pocket watches generally have an attached chain to allow them to be secured to

a waistcoat, lapel, or belt loop, and to prevent them from being dropped. Watches were also

mounted on a short leather strap or fob, when a long chain would have been cumbersome or

likely to catch on things. This fob could also provide a protective flap over their face and crystal.

Women's watches were normally of this form, with a watch fob that was more decorative than

protective. Chains were frequently decorated with a silver or enamel pendant, often carrying the

arms of some club or society, which by association also became known as a fob. Ostensibly,

"practical" gadgets such as a watch winding key, vesta case or a cigar cutter also appeared on

watch chains, although usually in an overly decorated style. Also common are fasteners designed

to be put through a buttonhole and worn in a jacket or waistcoat, this sort being frequently

associated with and named after train conductors.

An early reference to the pocket watch is in a letter in November 1462 from the

Italian clockmaker Bartholomew Manfredi to the Marchese di Mantova Federico Gonzaga,

where he offers him a "pocket clock" better than that belonging to the Duke of Modena. By the

end of the 15th Century, spring-driven clocks appeared in Italy, and in Germany. Peter Henlein,

a master locksmith  of Nuremberg, was regularly manufacturing pocket watches by 1524.

Thereafter, pocket watch manufacture spread throughout the rest of Europe as the 16th century

progressed. Early watches only had an hour hand, the minute hand appearing in the late 17th

century. The first American pocket watches with machine made Pitkin manufactured parts with

his brother in the later 1830s.

HISTORY_________________________________________________________

Watches evolved from portable spring driven clocks, which first appeared in 15th century

Europe. Portable timepieces were made possible by the invention of the mainspring. Although

some sources erroneously credit Nuremberg clockmaker Peter Henlein (or Henle or Hele) with

inventing the mainspring around 1511, many references to 'clocks without weights' and two

surviving examples show that spring powered clocks appeared in the 15th century. Henlein was a

well-known craftsman of early "clock-watches" (taschenuhr), ornamental timepieces worn as

pendants which were the first timepieces to be worn on the body. He is often credited as the

inventor of the watch, mostly because of a passage by Johann Cochläus in 1511.

Peter Hele, still a young man, fashions works which even the most learned

mathematicians admire. He shapes many-wheeled clocks out of small bits of iron, which run and

chime the hours without weights for forty hours, whether carried at the breast or in a handbag

and because he was popularized in a 19th century novel. However, other German clockmakers

were creating miniature timepieces during this period, and there is no evidence Henlein was the

first. Watches weren't widely worn in pockets until the 17th century.

One account of the origin of the word "watch" is that it came from the Old

English word woecce which meant "watchman", because it was used by town watchmen to keep

track of their shifts.Another says that the term came from 17th century sailors, who used the new

mechanisms to time the length of their shipboard watches (duty shifts).

The first timepieces to be worn, made in the 16th century in the German cities

of Nuremberg and Augsburg, were transitional in size between clocks and watches. These 'clock-

watches' were fastened to clothing or worn on a chain around the neck. They were heavy drum

shaped cylindrical brass boxes several inches in diameter, engraved and ornamented. They had

only an hour hand. The face was not covered with glass, but usually had a hinged brass cover,

often decoratively pierced with grillwork so the time could be read without opening. The

movement was made of iron or steel and held together with tapered pins and wedges, until

screws began to be used after 1550. Many of the movements

included striking or alarm mechanisms. They usually had to be wound twice a day. The shape

later evolved into a rounded form; these were later called Nuremberg eggs. Still later in the

century there was a trend for unusually shaped watches, and clock-watches shaped like books,

animals, fruit, stars, flowers, insects, crosses, and even skulls (Death's head watches) were made.

The reason for wearing these early clock-watches was not to tell the time. The accuracy

of their verge and foliot movements was so poor, with errors of perhaps several hours per day,

that they were practically useless. They were made as jewelry and novelties for the nobility,

valued for their fine ornamentation, unusual shape, or intriguing mechanism, and accurate

timekeeping was of very minor importance.

The Reactor Philosophy

In 2003 we set out on a mission to design a line of sport watches that would exceed the demands of the action sports athlete, while creating a style uniquely different from the norm. In short, we wanted to push well beyond what the watch industry had to offer and create a product that would truly set a new standard. Bold components, uncompromising quality and unconventional styling have combined to create REACTOR.

REACTOR watches are designed to meet, or exceed, demanding Swiss standards. Cases are forged from solid stainless steel or titanium. Multiple o-ring seals and water-tight screw-down crowns are used throughout. To ensure that a REACTOR will survive the decidedly non-sedentary lifestyle of our target customer, we developed new standards. Swiss sapphire crystals gave way to the more impact-resistant K1 hardened high-ceramic glass. The delicate precision of a Swiss movement gave way to the robust accuracy of Japanese quartz. An entirely new case-to-band fastening system was devised to keep these watches firmly in place during the worst unplanned events. REACTOR truly represents the best of what the world of watches has to offer.

As we continue on this journey, we know that a brand cannot flourish in today's marketplace without the loyalty of its customers. Our total dedication and commitment to service begins with the unprecedented level of support we offer our select group of retail accounts, and radiates down by exceeding the expectations of our end consumers. In short, we will do whatever it takes to make all our customers "raving fans."

Reactor Founder Jimmy Olmes

Jimmy, a somewhat neurotic and overly passionate workaholic is driven by his need to be different, better and if possible, perfect. As a 20+ year partner in Freestyle watches, Jimmy was

responsible for the creation and marketing of the Shark watch, one of the most successful watches in the history of the action sports industry. At its peak, Freestyle owned nearly a 75% market share in surf and has been credited with developing this important category in the sports market.

Jimmy and his partners sold Freestyle at the end of 2000 and Jimmy stayed on as President until the end of 2002. After a very short retirement, Jimmy set out to create a company that would set a new standard in watch design, quality, customer service and overall business ethics.

Coming from an action sports background, his mission was to "build the best performance sport watch on the planet," regardless of cost, and to develop a distinctive styling that was unduplicated, yet wearable.

In order to be accountable to this mission, a set of performance oriented criteria was developed which became the DNA of the REACTOR brand. This combined set of features separates REACTOR from any other watch brand in the world and is the foundation for REACTOR's success.

When asked about his vision, Jimmy is quick to respond. "Our unyielding goal is to push the envelope on sport watch design, to offer unprecedented quality, and to support our customers and dealers with customer service that our competition could not begin to duplicate. The bottom line is REACTOR is a company founded on a business ethic handed down to me by my father. Every decision is put to a very simple test – is it the right and fair thing to do? Profits are, and will always be, the byproduct of doing the right things for the right reason. All decisions are made on a win - win basis and from a very long term perspective. After all, customers are hard to reach and very easy to lose, but once you have a loyal following that trusts you and your brand, there is no end to what you can accomplish."

REACTOR's explosive growth is being managed by a very tightly knit team. Branden and Michael, Jimmy's sons, are responsible for exceeding customer expectations - warranty, warehouse, operations and timely order fulfillment. Scott Lipsett, Jimmy's long-time friend, and former FreeStyle Creative Director, is responsible for the overall image of the REACTOR brand and develops all of REACTOR's advertising, marketing, POS, and is a critical voice in every decision. Ted Silverberg, another long-time friend of Jimmy's and successful entrepreneur handles the sales department, and the front office team of Elaine Bernie and Lisa Barron handle customer service and all accounting functions.

Reactor was founded by Jimmy Olmes, one of the founders and former owners of Freestyle watches.  Coming from an action sports background, his mission was to “build the best

performance sport watch on the planet,” regardless of cost, and to develop a distinctive styling that was unduplicated, yet wearable on a 24/7 basis.  They succeeded admirably and Princeton Watches is pleased to present the complete collection of Reactor Watches to our customers.

To create their watches, Reactor worked from  a set of performance oriented criteria that they consider the "DNA" of the REACTOR brand.  This combined set of features separates REACTOR from other watch brands and forms the foundation for REACTOR’s success.

Jimmy Olmes has said “Our unyielding goal is to push the envelope on sport watch design, to offer unprecedented quality, and to support our customers and dealers with customer service that our competition could not begin to duplicate."

They've met this high standard while also creating bold and unique styles that stand out from the sports watch norm.

And Reactor certainly lives up to its customer service ideal by providing atwo year "bumper to bumper" warranty, unusual in the watch industry, and turning around Reactor watches sent for service within 48 hours, also virtually unheard of in the watch industry.

REACTOR watches are designed to meet, or exceed, demanding Swiss standards in order to survive the very active lifestyle of their target customer.  For example impact-resistant hardened mineral glass is used rather than Sapphire and an entirely new case-to-band fastening system was devised, to keep these watches firmly in place during the worst of unplanned events. REACTOR truly has a commitment to exceeding the expectations of their retail customers. They want all their customers to be “raving Reactor fans".

FUNCTIONS

All watches provide the time of day, giving at least the hour and minute, and usually the second.

Most also provide the current date, and often the day of the week as well. However, many watches also

provide a great deal of information beyond the basics of time and date. Some watches include alarms.

Other elaborate and more expensive watches, both pocket and wrist models, also incorporate striking

mechanisms or repeater functions, so that the wearer could learn the time by the sound emanating from

the watch. This announcement or striking feature is an essential characteristic of true clocks and

distinguishes such watches from ordinary timepieces. This feature is available on most digital watches.

A complicated watch has one or more functions beyond the basic function of displaying

the time and the date; such a functionality is called a complication. Two popular complications

are the chronograph complication, which is the ability of the watch movement to function as

a stopwatch, and the moonphase complication, which is a display of the lunar phase. Other more

expensive complications include Tourbillon, Perpetual calendar, Minute repeater, and Equation

of time. A truly complicated watch has many of these complications at once (seeCalibre

89 from Patek Philippe for instance). Some watches can both indicate the direction of

Mecca[26] and have alarms that can be set for all daily prayer requirements.[27] Among watch

enthusiasts, complicated watches are especially collectible. Some watches include a second 12-

hour or 24-hour display for UTC or GMT.

The similar-sounding terms chronograph and chronometer are often confused, although

they mean altogether different things. A chronograph has a stopwatch complication, as explained

above, while a chronometer watch has a high quality mechanical or a thermo-compensated

movement that has been tested and certified to operate within a certain standard of accuracy by

the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres). The concepts are different but not

mutually exclusive; so a watch can be a chronograph, a chronometer, both, or neither.

Many computerized wristwatches have been developed, but none have had long-term

sales success, because they have awkward user interfaces due to the tiny screens and buttons, and

a short battery life. As miniaturized electronics became cheaper, watches have been developed

containing calculators, tonometers,barometers, altimeters, a compass using both hands to show

the N/S direction, video games, digital cameras, keydrives, GPS receivers and cellular phones. A

fewastronomical watches show phase of the Moon and other celestial phenomena. In the early

1980s Seiko marketed a watch with a television in it. Such watches have also had the reputation

as unsightly and thus mainly geek toys. Several companies have however attempted to develop

a computer contained in a wristwatch (see alsowearable computer).

Braille watches have analog displays with raised bumps around the face to allow blind

users to tell the time. Their digital equivalents use synthesised speech to speak the time on

command.

PARTS AND DETAILS______________________________________________

A. Solid screwbar case-to-band attachmentReactor uses this technique to attach the watch to the band because it's nearly 8x stronger than the springbars typically used in watch construction.

B. Forged 316L Stainless Steel CaseExtra-hard marine-grade stainless steel permits fine finishing and resists corrosion on Reactor watches.

C.   Extra-thick Hardened Mineral Glass Lens Combines exceptional scratch-resistance with unmatched shatter resistance so you don't need to worry about breaking the crystal (sapphire while extremely scratch resistant can shatter, as scratch-resistance and toughness are two different characteristics).

D. Triple O-ring Screw Down Crown SystemProvides extreme water resistance when screwed down AND 100 meter depth rating even with the crown unscrewed.  Reactor watches may be the only brand that warrants their watches down to 100 meters even if you accidentally leave the crown unscrewed.

E. Superluminova Dial Markings & HandsSwiss material provides exceptional low-light visibility for up to 8 hours.

F. Shock-resistant movement holderProtects the already robust Japanese quartz movement from severe impacts.

G. Square Profile Caseback SealWith more surface area than the more commonly used o-ring, provides a significantly superiora water-tight seal.

H. Forged 316L Stainless Steel Caseback

Made just like our cases for a superior fit, increased strength and water resistance.

WARNING________________________________________________________

If your wrists are underdeveloped or weak, it significantly erodes your ability to work your

upper body, perform certain yoga poses and also hampers athletic performance. Golf, tennis,

volleyball, horseback riding, baseball, shooting and wrestling, for example, depend on the

strength and flexibility of the wrist. 

Repetition damage is common to the wrist but you can reduce your risk of injury through

exercises that work the wrist flexors of the forearm such as wrist curls and stretching techniques

designed with prevention in mind. 

Hours spent at the computer appear to exact a toll on wrists and may lead to repetitive strain

injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome and DeQuervain’s disease
