I have collected Ventura's over the past 5 years and own 6 from a v-tronic,v-matic,gmt,worldtimer and 2 chronos which if you use the search engine you can see pics....below is a pic of my favorite the GMT COSC....I think they were one of the best watches ever built and the CEO referred to his designs as "watch architecture"....their titanium models which used their patented Tantalum were scratch resistant a 1st for Ti watches ....the eta movements were fully decorated and COSC....at one time they led in COSC quartz movements being certified as wellhand6.gif

....btw Princeton watch has only  1 model left and it is priced at 35% off MSRP which is still much higher than they sold for before going out of bussinesscoyote2.gif.....Ventura's have become highly collectible and garner some pretty high prices and rumor has it Lior/SWI is interested in buying the brand....I bought 3 of my Venturas on Slop some years ago;)
