[edit] Poljot Watches
Seems to me like they are still in production or at least have resumed production. No indication on the website they stopped, and lots of dealers are selling new models I've never seen before. Lost Cosmonaut 21:01, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] An aside
Anyone else think that this page'd be ideal to add to their Watchlist? :) GeeJo (t) (c) • 13:49, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spirit Watches
Spirit Watches; listed in the (English) Argos catalogue as analogue watchmakers who make nice watches with interchangeable bezels and straps. Anyone find their site, as I cannot? Lady BlahDeBlah 20:38, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Category
Why not have a Category of firms that currenty made watches. Snowman 13:57, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
There already is a Category:Watchmakers that appears to be much better maintained and less open for abuse/self-promotion. Wrs1864 18:09, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
OTOH, it doesn't have redlinks, which I think might be appropriate in some cases, or context. For example, this list could be sorted by country, or date, or any other way that would be useful to readers. Anyway, I'm going to ahead and strip out the link pages just because they're not what Wikipedia is for. Mister.Manticore 22:11, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Page Wikified
Ok, I've done a massive edit to this page to remove all the external links in the companies section. I know this has left some orphas, probably removed a few good companies, resulted in a few inappropriate links, and left a few that probably don't qualify, but I feel it was essential in making this list appropriate for Wikipedia. If you see any entries that you think should removed or added, feel free to do so, just don't put an external link in there, that is bad form. Mister.Manticore 22:32, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
